    Dish Booth CES 2015

    I was also at CES 2015 last week. Love the new eye friendly UI & remote they are releasing in June. It is a definite improvement over the failed 922 "beta" remote. Makes me almost want to come back to Dish. Not really feeling the 4k vibe yet. (They were demonstrating 8k at another booth...

    In reply to... Why I cancelled Dish -They disappointed me with their dishonest practices.

    Since the moderator closed the thread without giving me an opportunity to reply I will answer your questions here... -The hopper in the basement was apparently linked to 1 joey and the one in the living room was connected to another. I was told when it was installed that I needed TWO hoppers...

    Why I cancelled Dish - Scamming customers and terrible service

    Why I cancelled Dish -They disappointed me with their dishonest practices. I apologize for the long winded post you are about to read. I have been a Satellite Guys member for years and rarely post, but today was the day that broke the camels back. I have never been so disappointed in a...

    Hopper DRM - Can't play archived shows?

    Well my situation is even better. I have 278 recordings on my basement hopper and it gives the same subscription error message on every program I try to play. On top of that message another one pops up that says event playback completed, even though I selected start over. Already called...

    Post Your Dish Hopper Install Experience: Did You Survive?

    1) How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? -Two hoppers, three joeys 2) Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? -Yes. I ended up paying $40 for the install, nothing for the system and then received $20/month off my bill, and HBO for $6/6 months. This was...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    so just got done with the 6 hour install of 2 Hoppers/3 Joeys. I was playing around with the features and went into the "Recordings Transfer" and noticed it says "Total space 500GB" ...Just a little curious since it's a 2TB drive (I know some is set aside for BBV, PTAT etc), but I have prime...

    922 crashes

    ...I started experiencing the same issue this evening. Random reboots, 2 sling screes, tv works for a minute, then black screen, nothing on the display and the fan starts running at 100%. Called dish (don't have DPP) and threatened to cancel if they did not replace the box free of charge...

    Slow Guide on 722K

    TV 1 response time is painfully slow, especially in the guide. Upstairs on TV 2 it moves like a knife through butter.. So it is not a heat issue. Tried every suggestion I could read in here. My wife is about to kill me over this.

    722 slow response, and now spontaneous reboots

    I don't think we are, while there are some subtle differences in the equipment a lot of the software is the same, with minor tweaks to address the differences. Both models are experiencing the same issues so it stands to reason that something in the new update that was the same in both releases...

    722 / L677 Problem

    I would like to inject this thread into the mix, as it pertains to the next release -688, which has made the problems increasingly worse. Come on Dish! L688 problems -slow response to key presses on unit

    722 slow response, and now spontaneous reboots

    My 722 is doing the same thing with timers, but in addition moving through the guide is extremely painful. It takes about 1 second to move up a spot. Takes at least a second to directly enter each number to go to a channel directly. When I am out of the guide pressing channel numbers normally...

    Firefox 4 Slingplayer plugin incompatibility

    I had the same conversation with Dish. they blasted FF4, saying it had a lot of issues. I kindly informed them that the only issues I have had are with Sling, not with the browser. I also brought up the fact that this would not be an issue at all if they supported the stand-alone player...

    Call from audit team

    Sorry, had to chime in here. HD Roberts you are way off base. I always shake my head when someone that has not experienced the issue first hand accuses people of being cry babies over a phone call. I have now had to deal with the audit team twice. The problem is not that they are...

    Grrr No More Sling Desktop Software...

    just find a copy of the version you were using before and install it (if you hit upgrade by accident). When t prompts you to upgrade say no. You have to do it every time the app launches, but you will still have the sling ability. I am disappointed that Sling is taking the same path as Dish...

    Need hair plugs after ripping my hair out (922 problems!)

    lol if you read the first post you would have seen the box was already replaced, same issue presented itself. After the 4th tech came out tonight they think they may have resolved it. It seemed there was some electrical feedback through the distribution block (you could feel it) . After...
