    Amazon Echo/Dot Commands

    I downloaded the new interface to my Hopper 2 (or whatever designation pre-Hopper 3) and installed Alexa. Followed the instructions and observed the following Command recognition erratic with Alexa. When it worked, NICE! Lost the ability to start DVR fare. The Hopper went into a strange fast...

    Moving to a different state

    We will be leaving our current home and relocating to another state 2000 miles away. The service location needs to be changed. For about a month, there will be no requirement for Dish as we will have temporary residence elsewhere. What's the procedure for the above?

    Netflix comes to the Hopper with Sling

    Make sure to configure Netflix with its own CC option. The Hopper CC will not work.

    Hopper/Netflix suggestions, bugs, etc

    I'm having this same issue with my one Hopper. The remote used for the Hopper does not respond after a while (works for a short time then nothing except turning the television on/off) when viewing Netflix. The Joey (and its remote) in the other room works fine but for now the only way to restore...

    Groups on 722K TV2

    Recording Groups. I tried favorites when it was first offered and decided not to take advantage of that feature. I do like the recording groups, though.

    Groups on 722K TV2

    Had to replace the 722K. I cannot seem to remember if I had to configure something to enable Groups I create on TV1 to appear on TV2. Right now they're not showing up and I cannot create Groups on TV2.

    VOD - Channel Lock

    I'm just not interested in it showing. These VOD entries can take up to 20 places (last time I counted). I like to smoothly transition from my locally mapped channels through all the HD offerings (with the exception of the upper 300 HD channels that I don't watch anyway). I've sucessfully locked...

    VOD - Channel Lock

    Tried to Lock the VOD (channel 1) from my guide. Works for a while, but then I see it again (maybe a day or two later). Anyone come up with a way to "lock" this channel from showing in my guide? I haven't had any difficulty with locking out any other channels from the EPG.

    SD channels are too loud !

    After the replies to my statement, I gave it another shot and it looks like I just had to try a bit harder to get everything to work with the Yamaha receiver (as well as my Sony DVD player). In the past few months, I had my 622 (one of the oldest versions - bad harddrive) swapped out for a...

    SD channels are too loud !

    Yamaha and before that Sony. Couldn't setup either on the remote.

    SD channels are too loud !

    You're kidding, right? My remote won't adjust volume on my surround sound receiver (and cannot be configure to do so for my brand), so I have to use a separate remote for the audio. Not too handy.:confused:;):D ... rab

    Few closed captions in HD

    I always have the caption turned on. At times captioning was lost so I've also had to re-boot on occasion, but not as often as I used to. Spent more than a year arguing with the CSRs, particularly regarding CC on the LiLs, but haven't needed to go that route for some time. For the most part...

    Few closed captions in HD

    I too am lost without my captioning. Two years ago, I had regular arguments with Dish regarding lack of captioning on local HD fare and found that the ignorance of CC and how it works is amazing. That is it's amazing that the CSRs will give misinformation about the problem and solutions. I...

    San Diego HD - Orange Screen Redux

    Problem here is three fold: 1. The problem has returned on the NBC channel, so it is still an issue. 2. The problem is now on another LiL channel. 3. Unless the equipment that was to be maintenanced is specific to satellite, this issue did not appear on cable for the same show at the same time...

    San Diego HD - Orange Screen Redux

    Apparently this is a Dish issue. My daughter has Time Warner and has received HD broadcasts for shows that I've missed due to this problem. I contacted Dish through their web site and it is a "known" issue with no idea of when it will be resolved. The color issue may have something to do with...

    San Diego HD - Orange Screen Redux

    For the last few weeks, the San Diego NBC HD channel has displayed an Orange screen off and on (SD is okay). Now the local ABC HD is having the same issues. Any ideas why?

    Dish about to lose even MORE local channels

    San Diego HD - Orange Screen

    Thanks for the info. Some time ago I set my EPG to display only HD for the locals. So until this is resolved, I reset it to display both SD and HD for locals. I guess that I'll have to look on-line to see the two shows that I wanted to record on NBC last week. This is definitely a Dish problem...

    San Diego HD - Orange Screen

    Anyone know what the problem is with San Diego's NBC station showing an orange screen? Missed several shows (Heroes season finale for one) due to this problem.

    CC disappeared on my HD Set w/722

    With the exception of the VOOM channels, UNIHD and BRAVOHD (may be a couple of other Universal/NBC HD channels that I've missed), captioning is available on many if not most of the HD channels. If you have locals in HD, you should see all of these captioned if the program is CC'd. I have a 622...

    ViP 622 HD CC Failure

    Since I don't have an HDMI connection on my current TV1, this is good to know when I replace it. Otherwise I would have connected via Component as I'm doing now. I am considering whether or not to put a second HD DVR where TV2 is and it would probably work for me to use an HDMI cable here. BTW...

    ViP 622 HD CC Failure

    Yeah. Even I agree although it's necessary for the most part to have CC all the time (I've had 50% hearing loss from the age of 35 caused by industrial noise pollution). But occasionally when watching a sporting event, the captioning blocks scoring information at the top and bottom of the...

    ViP 622 HD CC Failure

    Thanks for the response. I was aware of the sources of CC decode (TV!=receiver, TV2=set). I was not aware that HDMI can't or won't pass through captioning, but it is not correct to say that component will not do CC. It does. I have a seven year old Mitsubishi 55" HD set that was equipped with...

    ViP 622 HD CC Failure

    First, CC (closed captioning) is dropping out on TV1 some period of time after TV2 has been turned on. Doesn't happen consistently or immediately when TV2 is started, so it's hard to deign a pattern. Hardware failure of the ViP 622? Or should I investigate other possibilities? Temperature (don't...
