    Warner Bros - Discovery Getting out of Regionals!

    You guys are much more tuned in to this subject but I just saw my favorite hockey YouTuber post a video about it here: https://youtu.be/zEb1s7VBarY He says ATT Sports Net is announcing their shutdown along with others ending very soon. He also goes into the profitability of the regionals...

    Dish Remote 54.0 Failure?

    Has anyone had one quit responding or intermittent response? I searched the forum and went back 2 years and didn't see any similar posts but my 4 1/2 year old remote seems like it's failing. It will quit responding, then interment response then respond for a while then repeat the cycle...

    Can’t Live Without Dish

    So….we’ve been remodeling our old house and part of it was replacing all exterior siding with hardie plank. Our contractor started 2 weeks ago yesterday and part of the job included taking down our dish. We’ve got great internet and every imaginable streaming service possible but every day for 2...

    5400 vs 7200 EHD for Hopper 3

    Haven't seen much, if any, discussion on this specification. I know a lot of the surveillance drives are 5400 but didn't know if there was an advantage in using 7200 EHD's with a Hopper 3? Understand it's better to use a powered drive so thinking I'll just use a powered enclosure. Saw where...

    Installer Expertise Required

    Hi gang, I've got an H3 and two wired joeys. I just got broadband to my lake house so I'm dropping the joeys from my account for streaming sticks. I need to know what I can remove from my current wiring setup without disrupting the Hopper. I've attached photos that show splitter and diplexer...

    Marine KVH and Dish Service and Hopper?

    Anyone have experience with marine use? We're looking at buying a boat that already has a KVH-HD7 onboard. It currently has Direct receivers but I'm told it can accommodate Dish. Was looking over the outdoor packages and saw some ridiculous pricing of 300-400 per month. The boat broker thought...

    Steaming or Download - On Demand

    Anyone aware of how Dish determines what titles are downloaded vs streamed? There doesn't appear to be any set programming/channels that are stream only or download only. The aspect ratio glitch always rears its ugly head for me when streaming, never downloading. If we could force a download of...

    Aspect Ratio Changes During Playback?

    Has anyone experienced aspect ratio changes during playback of on-demand content? I've recently noticed it but haven't been able to find the reproducible pattern. When I'm watching some on-demand stuff it sometimes flips the aspect ratio to what looks like a zoom or partial zoom then switches...

    Replacing Aging Birds?

    Anyone have any info about replacing the satellites? I know 61 is degraded and it looks as if the others are approaching their end of expected life very soon. Seems like a conundrum for Charlie. Launching new birds is ridiculously expensive. Not sure he can justify it with current subscriptions...

    Is Dish planning on more HD channels, like Oxygen?

    GF just moved from Direct to a Dish and she watches Oxygen a lot. She's complaining it's not in HD like it is on Direct. I dont recall many recent changes from SD to HD on Dish. Anyone hear if Dish is transitioning anymore channels like Oxygen?

    AirTV Dual Tuner Adapter - UPDATED Review

    I’m 24 hours in and it’s a mixed bag of mostly FAILS. - My local FOX affiliate is being broadcast on VHF 6.2. It often freezes, pixilates, audio drop outs and it’s crashed the Hopper twice so far. Sometimes if I just leave it and the picture returns but most of the time I need to change the...

    New Promo for Showtime/Starz?

    Did I imagine seeing a commercial that said Showtime and/or Starz was available at $7 per month for 6 months? I just came off a Dish Move promo and had the extra's for 3 months. I liked having Starz and Showtime but at retail pricing was not inclined to keep it with my limited TV time...

    Question about Dish PCM Signal

    Im having some trouble with the PCM signal from Dish being garbled when listening in Dolby PLIIx mode. Bascially all the OTA channels and Dish's Dolby transmissions including the HD channels are fine. However, when listening to any of the regular channels the audio is distorted with a high...

    811 vs 6000

    Well, my neighbor had his 811 installed yesterday and I had my first chance to compare it to my 6000. I even brought it over to my place today and hooked it up to my TV so I could get a true comparison with my box. Bottom line, I wasnt impressed with the 811 and thankful I stayed with my old...
