I got a new Hopper 3 a couple weeks ago to replace my old one. It's been working just fine. I have it in the same place as the old one - plenty of ventilation in the portion of the entertainment center it's in (there's a large opening on the back of the entertainment center). The reason why I...

Yesterday, I noticed that my local channels went out for a little while, but that was during a heavy rain, so I didn't think anything of it. They came back shortly after the storm passed. This afternoon, though, the skies have been clear and whenever I tune to any local channel it gives me a...

I'm going from a Hopper to a Hopper 3 in about a week. I currently have my Hopper DVR at about 67% full and I want to transfer those recordings over to the new Hopper 3. I've got a 1 TB USB external hard drive. Will that be large enough to get everything or will I need to get a bigger one?

I've got an equipment replacement issue, but can't get through on 1-800-333-3474 number.

I've been with Dish for a little more than two years now. I have a 222k and a 211k receiver. I'd really like to get a DVR receiver, but when I moved back in June, they said that I wasn't eligible for a free upgrade to a DVR (I wasn't quite to the two year point then). I'd rather not have to...

We just moved and I'm trying to get my VCR to work like it did before without having to disconnect wires each time. My wife started disconnecting everything before I could check the set up, so I'm having trouble with it. I can get the VCR to play a movie, but then to get the satellite to work...

Getting ready to buy a house. The house has the same Dish on it that I have outside now. I currently have a 222k and a 211k receiver. From my understanding on the site, there's a free DVR upgrade, so which receiver would be going up, the 222 or 211? Also, it's $6 a month for DVR service...

The VIP211k unit that I have in my bedroom is having an issue with jerky video. It started this morning after working fine last night. Been having this box since September or so. I tried rebooting it with the button on the front. Same issue. I went through a couple of other menu screens and...

I posted this in the Directv forum, but I think it might go better here since more people might have the same experience of moving from Directv. If a mod could please delete the other thread, I'd appreciate it. I closed out my Directv account a week ago today. They said they would be...

I closed out my Directv account a week ago today. They said they would be sending packaging so that I could send my receivers back. Anyone know how long that takes for the packaging to arrive? I imagine it will be here soon, but I want to make sure because I don't want to get stuck with...

Installed today. Lovin the service and my local channels. Gotta get used to the remote and the different channel numbers, but great otherwise. Thanks to everyone for all of the helpful answers over the last few days.

From what my local retailer told me, it looks like I'm getting a 222 or 222k to control 2 out of my 3 SD TVs. How does the Duo work? I understand that it connects to one TV (let's say the living room) as normal. The second TV (let's say the office) is controlled with the Duo, but how? Is...

I have been with Directv since August 2006. I'm moving to Dish for the locals, but wanted to ask about the early cancellation fee. I am still using the same receivers that I got when I started (standard def D11-800's). I have maintained the minimum programming. I did move up one level...

Looks like I'm going to be making the switch very soon, due to my local channels becoming available on Dish. My main question... I'll be calling my local Dish retailer to set up the work rather than calling Dish directly. As part of the current promotions with Dish, is the standard...

Now that Dish has my local channels and Directv does not, I'm pretty much 99% sure I'm making the switch. Do I have to call Directv and have my account cancelled before the Dish installer comes to set it up? How long does account cancellation take?

I'm currently on Directv and found out that Dish offers my local channels, whereas Directv doesn't. I'm considering a switch because of this. Looking on the Dish site, I can't find a price for the Starz package. Can anyone tell me how much that movie package costs please? Thanks!

Dish Network is now offering local channels for Alexandria, LA. These locals are not available on Directv though. Why is that? Do these come available for both services within a similar time frame?

Hi everyone, I'm new here and of course have questions. After reading through various other posts here, I was encouraged by what looks like a very helpful community. I recently got DirecTV and have encountered the old "problem" of getting local channels. I currently have a simple indoor...
