    Picture quality on the Plus apps

    I have been wondering this for awhile. I realize that the satellite signals are compressed and may not look as sharp as over the air but why would the apps on the Plus not look as sharp when compared to the same app playing directly from my Hisense TV? I watch a lot of hockey on ESPN plus. On...

    Prime Tme Anytime

    Is the Hopper smart enough to know that a sporting event went long and adjust to the starting times of the prime time shows. Is there any DVR on the market that knows that, say for example the NFL on CBS runs late and adjusts the record times?

    Bruins and Flyers not in HD on Center Ice?

    I was looking forward to watching the game tonight but the guide shows SD only. This really stinks, pay for Center Ice live outside NESN area and can't get game in HD unless I'm missing something.
