    Bluetooth Headphone Suggestions

    So I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that I like, but for some reason they won't stay connected to my Hopper 3. I had the same problem with my Hopper 2. (was hoping the hopper 3 would fix that, but it didn't) They stay connected with my phone, laptop, and everything else I have used, but...

    3 Ghz or Not

    Dish guy is here putting in Hopper 3. So did we ever decide if we need 3ghz RG-6 from the dish to the hopper 3, or is lower OK? How about from hub to 2 joeys?

    HBO For 10 Bucks

    So I logged on to my Dish account today, and a pop-up came up offering me HBO for 10 dollars a month. Is this the deal I have been reading about? Does it mean I get HBO for 10 dollars a month till I stop it? When I click to accept, it just takes me to my programming and I can change it there...

    Replaced Hopper with Sling and Having Same Problem

    OK....So I have a Hopper with Sling with one Joey and one Super Joey. I upgraded to Hopper w/sling about a month ago, and from the beginning it works fine for a while, but the more it is doing, like recording, somebody watching a recording, etc... it often times starts getting sluggish, or it...

    Hopper With Sling Playback Issue

    I'm wondering if this is a known issue. Fairly often when watching a live program on my just installed Hopper With Sling, it gets all flakey and I'm unable to rewind. If I try to rewind, it just freezes and gets stuck. If I can get it to rewind a bit, when you try to play, it stutters and the...

    Hopper Transfer to EHD

    Has there ever been a solution to the problem when you go to transfer shows from your hopper to the external drive and not all of your shows show up in the transfer section. I'm upgrading to a hopper with sling, and only a fraction of the shows on my DVR are showing up in the transfer section...

    Hey Joey Linking Experts!! This Should Have Been Simple. NOT!!!

    So....I have a regular hopper (no sling built in) and one joey. I decided to add a joey. Tech comes, puts the splitter on the joey coax, hooks up new joey and it works fine. Ah....but now the other joey won't link. Hopper detects both joeys, but the one I already had says unlinked. The MoCA...

    Moving Dish Antenna: Advice Needed

    I am moving my Dish 1000 Antenna from my deck railing to the side of the house. Deck railing is being torn off soon. I still have a dish mount on the house from an old install, and plan to just move the dish 1000 with the arm to the mount on the house, if you follow what I mean. It will only be...

    How to Add A Hopper

    So I currently have 1 Hopper and 1 Joey. I would like to add another receiver, but I would rather have another hopper instead of another joey. Is there a trick to getting that, or will dish insist I add another joey? Either way, it only adds another 7 bucks to my monthly bill right?

    Need help 404 Not Found on Hopper Apps

    So my Hopper was installed Thursday. I read the thread about getting 404 message when trying to launch apps, but I still get that message after having the Hopper since Thursday. Is there something I need to do to get the apps to work, or just wait longer? Is this a known problem?

    Buy a USB OTA Module for Hopper

    Got my Hopper installed today. Went to dish.com to order a OTA module for it, and of course it's out of stock. So where can a brother get one? Or do I have to wait till there in stock again?

    How to Hook Up External Hard Drive

    So I am upgrading to the Hopper tomorrow. I am going to save some shows I have on my 922 to an external hard drive. The drive I am using is from my 211 that was used to turn that receiver into a dvr. I thought I could just plug it into the 922 and it would ask me if I want to format it, but...

    My setting tile is gone on VIP 922

    This is wierd. When I go to menu, I don't have a settings tile anymore on my VIP 922. All the other ones seem to be there still....Broadband, Home Media, On Demand, Apps, etc..... but no settings tile. There is a "help" tile there that I don't remember being there, but it might have been. So...

    Will Dish Activate a Receiver I Buy?

    I have a family member that just updated to HD service a few weeks ago. He got a VIP 222K for an HD TV and a SD TV in the bedroom. He has no desire for a DVR. However....he just won another HD TV in a raffle, and wants to put that in his basement. Since he just upgraded to HD for free, I...

    With all the talk about the 922 being nearly obselete....does that mean they are done doing any updates on it. For instance...will it ever get support for Blockbuster At Home?

    Volume, remote, zoom, or full screen grayed out on remote access

    I put this at the end of one of Scott's threads, but thought I would start a new thread to see if I could get some answers. How come when I access my VIP 922 slingbox through Dish's remote access, the volume, remote, zoom, and full screen are grayed out? Can only watch stuff in the box size...

    Got my new 922...and got Harmony 880 to work too!

    I think I'm gonna like this thing. Wow it sure is pretty. Got mine just in time for the new software update, so hopefully everything will run OK. I found the wackiest thing on a Harmony forum to make my 880 work with the 922. I set my Harmony with the 922 codes, and it wouldn't do anything...

    VIP 922 Sling same as what's on my TV

    So, I have read that I need to let the 922 sit for a day, and things work better, but does this apply to the sling feature too. When I access dishonline, I can watch live TV, but it's the same as what is on my TV. When I change channels on line, it changes the receiver in the livingroom too...

    I WAS fired up about upgrading to the 922. Should I still be.

    I currently have a VIP 622. It has been a great DVR, still is. But I think I am finally ready to upgrade to the 922. I was all fired up, but then started reading some of the posts here. I don't really use TV 2 much. My 622 stays in single mode almost all of the time. I don't archive to an...

    Smart Card Is Not Inserted Correctly

    OK, I was on here once before about this. About 4 or 5 months ago my vip 622 started giving me the Smart Card not inserted correctlly message. I logged on here and Scott and few others told me to try a pencil eraser, on the gold square and put it back in. I did that and it worked. But now it...

    USB Hard Drive on VIP 211

    I have a External hard drive on my VIP 211. The 211 I have was replaced a month or so ago because the HDMI plug went dead. It seemed OK, but now when we try to watch shows from the DVR, especially if we fast forward, skip, etc..., the thing pops a box up that says "The USB Hard Drive has been...

    Smart Card message came up

    So I'm watching TV last night, and all of a sudden my VIP 622 has a message pop up that said "Smart Card not inserted properly". I pulled the plug, and the smart card, put everything back, and got the same message. But...then it came back on its own. However this morning I have the same...
