I was aware of how to hit the record and I do it if watching a game, but it is a little inconvenient

I was a DISH customer with SD only, but when I tried to upgrade to the Hopper, I needed new cabling to 3 GHz to the Hopper and have the dish mounted on the house to point to the satellites needed. With the DirectTV, no new wiring needed and the satellite could be placed in the same location...

Thanks for the breakdown. I am weighing my options. I would like the ability to pause live tv everywhere and I think using the one of the tuners from the hr34 will not be a detriment. Thanks again,

I. Had not looked at the connection between the cinema connection kit and the h25. As pointed out here, it is coax. So that means I could do the same thing with the c31. I sent the thread from work so my apologies in not reviewing the equipment setup first. Thanks,

I switched to DirectTV a month before the GENIE offer came out in October. I currently have an HR34 and two H25's. My Cinema Connection Kit is connected to the H25 because it is the closest to my wireless router. If I wanted to switch the H25 with a C31, could the cinema connection kit still...

I am thinking about changing my internet to a Mobile 4G Hotspot connection. The plans in my area come with data caps starting at 4GB and up. If I do not do on-demand downloads, what other traffic occurs on the Internet connection between the receivers and the Cinema Connection Kit? Thanks,

I just recently switched from Dish to DirectTv. Believe me, I went through all the numbers for the entire two years and beyond as far as what it would cost at each price point (3 months, 12 months, 2 years). I priced out Comcast as well and while the internet speeds are very appealing, I have...

Clear and cool. I have not checked the signal strength yet. Not sure if I see it on the HD receiver upstairs as well. Thanks,

I realize the issues with signal strength and the like could affect the picture, but I was more concerned could the processing on the HR34 cause the issue (recording 3 channels watching another, etc.). I had not noticed the signal degradation any other time. Now granted, I have only had the...

Last night I was recording three channels and watching ESPN football game on the main TV where the HR34 was connected. From time to time the picture got blocky and pixelated. Not a huge problem, but it was annoying. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks,

Thanks for the information.

I have canceled my Dish service, but own a 510 receiver, two 311 receivers, and a 500 Dish. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Can I trash them? Should I send in the smart cards? I would give them away if someone wanted them. Thanks,

Technician came today and was able to use the existing wiring. My first use of the Home Media Center was to watch a football game. First in the bedroom, then downstairs in the family room. I believe I am going to love this. Love the 5 tuners (my old system had one tuner for DVR), no more...

I have been a E* customer for years (a 510 DVR receiver and two 311's) and I had all the intentions of remaining one. However, when I went to upgrade the Hopper, I was told I needed to drill holes in my house to run 3 GHz rated cabling. Plus, my house was situated in so that the only way I...

Found my own answer. Looks like it is my HD locals which are on 61.5W. Thanks,

I am confused by DishPointer.com. The Dish 1000+ (110W, 118.7W, 119W, 129W), Dish 1000.2 (110W, 119W, 129W) look like they would work where my current 500 dish location resides. The closest to what he was saying was Dish 1000.4 (61.5W, 72.7W, 77W) and I could see that potentially being a...

As far as satellites, he said the ones in the same direction of the 500 dish did not have many HD's. I will look at DishPointer.com and see. He was only talking about the Hopper and 3 GHz cabling. The shortest route was above my garage to my outlet in my bonus room. Nice hole and wiring 10...

I have been a Dish customer for over 10 years, but have never upgraded to HD in that time (still using a 500 Dish). Finally broke down and purchased some flat panels. Scheduled a Hopper upgrade. Technician told me I needed to have 3GH cable and that a new DISH needs to point in another...

Well, The Install is scheduled for this weekend, so I will let you know. Thanks for the information.

HMC is Home media center. HR34 is what I meant. Depending on the frequencies where the communications happen, the wiring could be an issue. I do not know what the frequencies being used for the communication between the HR34 and other receivers, which is why I asked the question. Thanks

A dish technician came to my house today to upgrade to a hopper system. He informed me that I did not have 3ghz cable and he would have to go through some creative wiring. My house is 12 years old and though it was wired with rg6, but I didn't know that rg6 has different frequency ratings up...

We already do autopay and paperless so that is not an issue. Thanks,

I currently have a 510 DVR receiver and two 311's. Like the features of the hopper for DVR recording especially since I use a DVD-RW recorder for some of my recordings now. I am also concerned about how long the $100 to upgrade offer would be present. Thanks,

Hello, I am new to posting here, but I have been viewing threads for years. We currently do not have an HD TV in our house, but are looking at upgrading to one or two HD sets in the summer. Will the Hopper/Joey package work totally on SD platform. My viewing of the pictures suggest yes, but...
