    New Hopper Owner- Need Help!!

    I've been having the same problems. Installation was on Monday, EHD started working on Tuesday. As of today (Wednesday), Facebook, Pandora, Dish Music, TWC, and Blackjack don't work. Texas Hold'em, MLB (and a few others) seem to work. I'm assuming I need to sit and wait a few days, but if anyone...

    Can I watch my external Hard Drive recordings from my 722 on the Hopper?

    Bobby was dead on. I left it plugged in last night and all the drive is accessible this morning. Thanks Bobby!

    Can I watch my external Hard Drive recordings from my 722 on the Hopper?

    I have a Western Digital My Book 500GB WD USB 2.0 External Hard Drive HDD (WD5000H1U-00) that I had copied info from a 722k. When I upgraded to Hopper today and plugged in the EHD, the Hopper does not see it. It recognizes that I disconnected a USB drive when I remove it, but nothing else. Dish...

    Coax Cabled Melting

    I built a new house this past year, and ran two RG6 wires to each room from the basement. I also ran five (5) wires directly from the panel to the location of the satellite. Dish installers came out and hooked up the dish and receivers. About 3 months later (3 months ago), I lost reception. A...

    Good Friday Shocker - MASN Added to E*

    MASN--Finally Yeah, looked fine for me too. Hey jrbdmb--are you getting MASN and MASN2 yet? I'm in Southcentral PA as well (about 5 miles east of Gettysburg) and am getting them both fine. Another option for you VA-DC-MD based customers who are not getting MASN is to "move". You may find a...

    MASN on Dish?

    Template Letter I have been contacting Dish daily about MASN (don't forget about those of us in PA!) to no avail. Anyone have a template made up to send to Dish regarding MASN? Would be nice to have something that hundreds (thousands?) of us could send in.

    MASN on Dish?

    Move? I'm a Yankees' fan in southcentral PA, and would like to pick them up. How do I "move" for coverage, and where do I need to move to to pick up the Yanks? I've got a friend who is calling tomorrow to get out of his contract if Dish isn't planning on picking up MASN.

    DishDVR Advantage

    DVR Advantage OK, I've read the 14 pages, and was probably too dense to find the answer to my question. :rolleyes: It's a simple one. I'm subscribed to the 200 now, one DVR, two receivers, locals, DHP included. Is there any reason NOT to sign up for DVR Advantage converting to AutoPay...

    Connection Issues (continued)

    Well, the good news is that the tech came out and determined the problem pretty quickly. The central connection location had issues with the wire running directly from the dish. The metal wire in the middle of the coax cable was burned, completely melted! The tech replaced the end connector, and...

    Connection Issues!

    I'm in the Home Protection Advantage Plan, but they tell me it still costs $29 for the visit. Any hardware issues are covered, but I'm still charged for the service call.

    Connection Issues!

    Semi-rookie from the tech side, so bear with me... Using a Dish 500. I'm having connection issues with my 625 DVR receiver, but none with my basic 322 receiver. Sometime Tuesday or Wednesday, it lost connection. I can still get full broadcast on my 322, but was getting no connection...

    New Construction Initial Hookup

    Good. I just hope the installers are smart enough to know what to hook up where. I didn't want them putting holes in the walls like they did with our previous house. Hopefully they can just hook it up and go. Thanks again.

    New Construction Initial Hookup

    Pardon the ignorance, but I'm still new to this. I prewired our new construction home, running five wires from a central location in the basement to the dish location. I also ran two cable wires from each room into the house to the same central location. Dish is coming tomorrow to hook up the...

    Prewiring for new construction

    I purchase 2 500-ft boxes of CAT6 and a 12-point patch panel for $147 delivered. Didn't seem like a bad price at the time. So I now have five (5) RG-6 cables run from the basement to the location where the dish will be. But I only have one (1) RG-6 cable in each room. I'm assuming I should...

    Prewiring for new construction

    WOW! This is all coming in a bit over my head. A contractor ran our standard coax cabling, and I left a message for him last night to determine what type of cable he ran. I already ran Cat5e for phone, and Cat6 for ethernet (hoping to eventually move to gigabit speeds for transfer). I'm thinking...

    Prewiring for new construction

    Thanks OSU. I'm thinking I should get some RG6 cable and run it to some/all of the rooms. Another question (maybe I should start a new thread for this)--any way possible to have the DVR received in one room, and run it to all of the other rooms in the house? I'd like to avoid having non-DVR...

    Prewiring for new construction

    Sorry about the lack of info, that's what you get from a newbie. ;) I'm located near Gettysburg, PA. Right now I'm using a 511 on 2 TV's and a 322 for 2 other TV's. I'm extremely technical with networking, but have had little experience with Dish's hardware. The walls in the house are still...

    Prewiring for new construction

    I am in the process of building a new house, and am running all of my coax cables to one location in the basement. How do I determine the following: 1) Where will the DISH Network dish need to be located on my house; 2) if it's the opposite end of my central location of all coax cables, what...
