    Pixelation at top and bottom of the hour.

    This was ONE of the problems I complained to Dish regarding my Hopper and Joey. After a month and a half, I got fed up and returned to Dtv.

    Sonicview 8000HD HELP!!!!!!!!!

    Mine is still working fine, including the OTA function. It's been many moons ago when I had to use my PC to bring it back to life. But, I do remember that I had tried more then 10x times before it took the firmware. Now after many years of service, it's still works, along with the external...

    Funny things folks have said about your FTA system

    I switched to Dish about two months ago. When the installer went out to the backyard, he took a step back and said "D**n, I never saw some one with their own head end in their back yard" (I have seven slimlines right next to my bud). He then pulled out his iphone and started clicking away. I...

    Dish and HD signals on 129

    Thank you for the info. Had my sixth tech come out Saturday (was promised a tech supervisor, no such luck). Asked hm to check the dish and he would not do so claiming the signals for 129 were within DISH specs. He eye balled the wiring and claimed there was nothing wrong. I asked him why...

    Dish and HD signals on 129

    What would cause audio drop outs and minor pixelation on the 129 sat? Always happens when I first turn on Joey or Hopper in the morning and later during the day it goes away. It happens during clear skies or overcast skies. The readings on 129 are 17=46 18=46 19=44 20=45 21=56 22=45 23=45...

    So, I am guessing that you cannot transfer files from the old Hopper to the new Hopper or to a external HD?

    Hopper replacement and recordings

    If the installer has to replace a Hopper, is there any way to transfer the existing recordings to the new Hopper or to an external drive? If it can be transferred to an external drive, does it have to be fat32 or ntfs and will the existing files on the drive be erased by the old Hopper when...

    Is this normal after firmware upgrade?

    Last night upgrade to 221. Today, Joey used all day with no problem. Wife got home and turned on the Hopper and watched tv for about an hour. Joey was still being used. Joey then shut off by itself. I turned it back on and got error 1303 - Looking for a Hopper Master Bedroom to link to...

    Dish and Hopper Advertising

    The latest TV ad for the Hopper says the Hopper can record six programs at once. With three tuners how is this possible? If I record two programs and watch live tv, that's as far as I get. What am I doing wrong? Chatted with two CSRs on live chat and they confirmed the same thing. Once...

    Review: Optibox Anaconda HD FTA Receiver

    Or, just create lists by Genre and upload them with a usb stick or save the lists by genre in your root/var/freetvplus directory which you can always rename back to internettv.feed by using an ftp program such as Filezilla. Which ever is easiest for you.

    Review: Optibox Anaconda HD FTA Receiver

    The internet radio was extended to 200 while the TV is still at 100. By the way, if you have Dish, the Optibox will work with Home Media on the Hopper or Joey.

    Review: Optibox Anaconda HD FTA Receiver

    Other then programming, half the fun is watching some of the commercials we will never see here. Example, a while back I was watching the Dubai One English feed, when they aired a commercial showing a red Ferarri as if it was your typical Chevy driver. Plus they also show movies in English...

    Adding second dish for 129

    Currently have H/J with single node installed. Would like to add a Dish 500 with legacy lnb for 129 for better signal strength during rain. I would leave current installed dish for 110 and 119 alone. What switch would I need to connect the two dishes before the node? Thanks
