    At times Joey units won't pause

    At times either of our two Joey 2.0 units will refuse to pause recorded content. When you press pause it will advance a moment or two, then pause then play. Eventually it will pause after a few attempts. We don't recall this happening on the Hopper unit.

    Thinking of returning once again

    I had an appointment yesterday for DIRECTV but LOS issue with the 103 sat - so no go. I know in the past the Eastern Arc dish was pointed to a higher elevation in the horizon - which clears the trees better. Connecticut My biggest questions are: - does E* still have eastern and western...

    its been awhile -- have basic questions

    I've been away from DTV for over 18 months -- in the Conn area what type of dish do they install for a standard 2 room install HD etc etc (3lnb or 5lnb) and do they do ground installs now or still only on roof? Lastly by 2nd room has a failing coax cable -- how good is the new wireless mini...

    looking for recommendation on size of PVC pipe to use...

    I currently have a 5LNB slim mount on my roof... sans the actual dish. I have a arial antenna installed but since the mount is actually mounted to the side of the roof, one of the support arms is blocking me from turning the antenna in the direction I need to aim it at. SO What is the...

    Local channel picture issues

    Anyone (especially in the Hartford market) notice over compressed HD locals. And studdering aka dropped frames... The frame issue is giving me headaches. And the lower pq is just strange with DirecTV. Oh and I'm peaked around the low to mid 90s. I've got the 1st generation hr34 genie setup...

    Genie HR34 (original) and mini genie unit.... remote control stinks (rf)

    OK so what am I doing wrong... in our bedroom we have a mini Genie (no hard drive) and it is mounted behind my TV. With the remote in RF mode you have to point the remote at the TV still and has to be level... its a real PITA (especially coming from a Joey). what can I do?

    DirecTV - Genie and "PPV"?

    I'm not sure if D* still offers it or if they have expanded... do they have the major networks (NBC,ABC,CBS, FOX) offer a download service (free)

    Anyone in the CT/RI/MA area - know of this installer?

    I had DirecTV come out to swap me over fem E* to D*… and the installer didn’t “like” where I wanted the dish mounted. (side of house near roof, on a goo sized solid piece of wood (part of the rafters I assume? I use to have a 5LNB D* mounted in that location but 1 maybe 2 of the lag bolt holes...

    bad switch, bad LNB, or bad aim?

    Strange thing happened to my Hopper setup yesterday… it seems that only the 72 sat was picked up… did a check switch and it first failed all sats and settings… went into dish pointer and 61 was getting zero, 72 was in the mis 40’s and 77 was saying it was wrong sat 61.5? I swapped my joey and...

    Sound quality

    I have had the Hopper/Joey since they first came… I just switched back to my local cable company, using a pair of tiro units. I have noticed two things right of the bat, sound quality is greatly improved it sounds more dynamic and DD5.1. In fact I thought my surround speakers were broken since...

    fast-forward issue? or just me

    Curious if other have seen an issue where while fast-forwarding the joey or hopper will “skip” ahead 15-30min of the show while in 4x mode? Even sometimes to the end of the show? Never did this before - I assume its a new feature :-)

    Can someone more logical than me explain this to me. Velocity Channel

    On why the the Velocity Channel is only available in the Blockbuster @ Home "package"? I've had the same blurry disc on my counter for the past 4 months… oh well - ok carry on :-)

    rain fade is killing me!

    I'm about done with DBS - until they get some stronger satellites up… pricing out a pair of TiVos and getting CableVision to pay off my contract with Dish. locals have been out for about an hour - nationals only went out for maybe 5-7 minutes GRRRR

    Apps...

    Any word on if they will add a YouTube app to the Hopper? I do miss that feature from my old D* dvrs. I have other devices that have youtube so not a huge loss, just not as easy for the wife.

    ok dumb end user question here (yeah me)

    So if you place an on demand movie into the "queue" how do you delete it? I only see watch now, or later?

    Dvr list as a list, option?

    Is there a hidden menu option I'm not seeing that enables you to view your dvr list in list form? Rather than the "box art", on our smaller 32" tv in bed it's hard to read them (especially since on that Joey none of graphics are showing only the small text - actually The prime time logo shows...

    Anyone having an issue with broadband failing on Joey?

    My Hopper has ethernet plugged right into it directly and its all green (passed) and functions… on my Joey (1 Joey only) it fails broadband? any suggestions? I've reset it, scanned for it, rebooted the Joey… still fails :-(

    just switched from D* to E* due to the new Hooper and Joey

    Just had my install — was with a subcontractor of Dish and his (and company's first too) first hopper per setup… The bad: At first the hopper per was not able to Acquire the correct satellite during setup, it was trying to look onto 119 even though I was an EA customer… after running through...

    Local HD channel PQ question

    Just curious how the PQ was with E* on local channels. Do they typically over compress them? If it matters I'm in the Hartford market in CT. On DirecTV they appear as good as OTA ok maybe not but close.

    Hooper and remote control question

    OK - so this is a non normal question… Does anyone know how "complex" it is(will) be to tell the Hooper/Joey setup to 'keep' a show so it doesn't get deleted by the system? On TiVo S4 boxes this takes about 5-6 clicks in the menu which seems easy which it is but it is NOT quick. My wife...
