    The work around for the current tailgater issue.

    We have been dealing with this issue for many weeks now, it affects all receivers designed to work with the tailgater. During the satellite acquisition stage, the receiver will get stuck on 3 of 3 for 211 receivers or the 3rd part of the progress bar on Wally's. It is looking for 129, which of...

    Tailgater issues after 129 retirement. (Western Arc issue only)

    We have seen a number of customers having issues with Wallys & 211k receivers and tailgaters. They gets stuck in the searching for satellite step, as it's looking for 129. I believe it's a software issue, Dish you need to get on this! Yesterday I came up with a work around that might have...

    Winegard Trav'ler fitting rust out issue.

    As a tech, I see a lot of this with the Winegard Travler in the field (pic). Poorly engineered, it lets in moisture and corrodes. These are exposed to the wind as motorhomes/campers are driving down the freeway. With a head wind, it probably isn't uncommon to see 80+ MPH winds/rain. The red...

    H3 is 6 years old :o

    Hard to believe the Hopper 3 is 6 years old now. It still holds it own very well, it is quite difficult to stay on top these day for that long. But I have to wonder when the H4 is due, a few "in the know" on this page have hinted at next gen 4k Joeys and wireless Joeys. The current 4K Joey...

    Big Joey announcement?

    Months back one of the Admins here (Scott I think) was talking about some big Joey news that was going to be released "soon". Did that ever happen?

    Paramount+....

    What is Paramount's issue? I pay for Amazon prime, Amazon prime carries Paramount+, Dish has Prime app.... Why does Paramount restrict its content through the Dish devices? It certainly isn't a technology issue.

    P in P 4K Joey

    Does anyone else remember when the 4K Joey first came out, that they said it would have P in P "soon"? Been about 5 years now... still waiting... I rarely use it, but it would be nice occasionally. One of the reasons I spent more for them originally.

    Dish, get your 4K S*** together...

    All excited to watch the Hawks/Rams Game in 4K in my Home Theater w/JVC NX7 4K projector & 125" screen. We watched the 1st quarter, then I change to local HD channel to show wife the difference in PQ, then when I change back to the 4K channel, I get this stupid HDCP message. :mad::mad::mad: I...

    DTV calling it quits (more or less)

    As a Dish fan and also authorized retailer for the last 20 years, it pleases me to see we made the right choice (not that we didn't know that already). We sold both for nearly 20 years, but always sold 95+% Dish Network. It was better equipment at a lower price, sold itself. Dropped DTV a few...

    Hopper 3 hogging internet bandwidth.

    I have 20 meg DSL, which is plenty fine for my needs, but recently I have been getting speeds closer to 3 meg, and a VERY slow internet. I tracked it down to the Hopper. As soon as I disconnected the Hopper 3 from the internet, speeds shot back up above 20, as per 2 test sights. No one was...

    (trying to play) I was watching Netflix, it go to the end of an episode and crashed back to TV. Since then, when I try to watch Netflix it never makes it past the loading screen and locks up. I have to reboot to get it working again. I unplugged/rebooted the Hopper and Joey... Anyone seen this...

    Never ending Wally problems.....

    We have been installing Dish (and DTV for that matter) for 20 years, we do well over 95% Dish. I haven't seen a more trouble plagued receiver than the Wally in a very long time, if ever. Continually locking up every few days, needing to be unplugged to be fixed is the biggest issue and has been...

    Weird Pandora problem on Joey

    I did a hard reset on both Hopper and Joey, neither helped. Pandora plays the first 4-5 second of the song, then skips to about 30-60 seconds left in that song. The progress bar just continues along like nothing happened, and the song comes to its normal end, with the bar reading around 1 minute...

    2 4k joeys, both die at same time...

    Both my 4k joeys stopped putting out any video this morning. The hopper works fine, but when I hard reboot the joeys, they come up with a "bootstrap recovery error" and after a minute lose all video out... I unplugged the coax in to isolate them from my hopper, and they do the same thing. A...

    Joey 2.0 vs 4k

    Can someone explain to me, why anyone would want a Joey 2.0 instead of a 4k Joey? You need to upgrade to be compatible with the H3, why in the world would you not just get the 4k.....

    Hopper 3 "No Information Available" in guide...

    Just installed and activated my H3 this morning, but the guide shows "No Information Available" for most all channels, and for all channels past 3 hours out. I can't imagine PTAT can work w/o a guide and I can't set any recordings. Anyone know of a way to force guide download?

    The hassles of being an honest Dish Network retailer....

    I had an experience last night (5-21-15) that has everything to do with my work and Dish. I work for a local, family owned Dish retailer that has been selling, installing and servicing our customers for almost 20 years now, I have been there for over 15 years. Two door to door salesmen were...
