    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    I just heard one of the managers talking about a new beta device that the some GM's are currently testing. It's an OTA Add-on device. I'm assuming this is a standalone device that provides OTA services to the hopper system. Not sure if this was known information.

    It works like this, At least one of the hoppers had to be online before Grey's anatomy started or the wife would have hit the roof. Mission accomplish with 2 minutes to spare.

    Hopper PQ on locals.

    Maybe its just me but the picture quality on the local channels look a lot more pixelated on the hopper than my 622 did. Anyone else notice a difference? The other channels look a lot better IMO.

So Dish is coming back today to get it sorted out. The Joeys will come up but on the download phase it...

    I can understand that. Lucky for me this is the wiring area on the back (hidden) part of the house. There's a crap load of panels and pipes next to this.

    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    UPDATE & FYI: Manager is back. Says that they have been experiencing an issue. Seems that once up and running the hopper will not show more than an hour of guide until the 3AM update. Says it will be 7 days worth after that. Indicates that this will not affect PTAT recording.

    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    My installer had a couple HIC's on his truck. He was thinking that it wouldn't be needed since 1 of the hoppers would be connected to the internet. I was thinking the same thing because I thought I saw some diagram on this site that had shown that. We shall see soon enough. I believe that HIC...

    UPDATE: Well the fence that the old dish was on kinda rocks back and forth some so the installer has chosen to go with a temporary pole stand for now and will schedule someone to come and put in a permanent cemented pole. He has also chosen to replace the cable with some new stuff (see pic) that...

    I ordered this morning at 8:30 and at 11:10 CST they showed up. Straight off I am told that this is the first Hopper installation in Houston and that management will be showing up to see over the process. Also to bring the Duo-Node. This is new service for me but the house had Dish before...
