    Next Generation Hopper

    As technology advances the profile of a Hopper should be the size of a Joey. Lower power consumption. Adding the Plex app instead of having to go through the Home Media App which does not have the features of the Plex app. Larger capacity of HD storage to accommodate more 4k content as it...

    Next Generation Hopper

    There does not seem to be any news release or leaks about a possible release of the next generation Hopper. Now that we are going into 2020 in just a little more than 6 weeks, do any of our forum "insiders" have any information that can be shared with us? Is a next generation Hopper been...

    OTA dongle question

    I purchased the dual OTA dongle for my Hopper 2 which dispalys only one OTA turner. I called the seller and they told me that after a Hopper 2 software update scheduled in May both OTA tuners will display. Is that correct? Anybody here try the dual OTA dongle on a Hopper 2?

    Any way to get a better deal?

    I have been a Dish subscriber for 17 years. We long time subscribers see deep discounts given to new subscribers while we pay full price. Dish does grant on request from time to time a small discount, but nothing compared to the ones given to new subscribers. I understand that the discounts to...

    Dish getting tight - no resolution offer from ceo@echostar.com

    Owning versus Leasing both have pros and cons. I personally have chosen to own my equipment. Economically, the leasing folks are better off than I am, but I have a little peace of mind. I do not like being locked in a two year contract in this economy just in case my company downsizes and I am...

    Dish Network Terminates More Retailers

    I agree. In the past I have ordered through Dishstore because of his presence and recommendations of Senior Members and Staff here at SatelliteGuys. He is the only online retailer I trust.

    Who told you that, sucker?

    Zero..Walt Disney said that the guest (customer) may not be always right, but when they are wrong, let them be wrong with dignity. If we all ran our businesses where the customers are always right, the business owners will always be broke...

    Worst call center experiance ever. My letter to CEO

    The point of this experience is that certain CSRs did not treat the customer with dignity. A customer has the RIGHT to be treated with dignity regardless of their account status. It is a problem with any company who employ CSRs. No matter how much you train, there will be those bad apples who...

    no line of sight - lazy installer or ??

    Flamtap - I did'nt know who to call either back in 1997. The dish had just started with the new service. I looked up the local antenna/sat businesses and picked the two who were in business the longest. I also asked around the town and their recommendations also seemed to be one of the two...

    Tivo vs. 622 DVR

    You can use a single tuner Tivo box with a dish reciever. You will not be able to use a dual tuner Tivo box with any sat reciever, unless you have one source from the sat reciever and the other from a cable provider. (see Tivo.com for further info)

    no line of sight - lazy installer or ??

    I have a roof mount installed since 1997. The installer was from a local dealer where I bought my original Dish system from. The installer used roofing tar and seal over the roof mount screws and edges. I have replaced the dish a few times for upgrades, but the mount is the same and has...

    NY Locals

    Does DISH allow to have a summer home on the same account? I was told by a CSR that I had to open a seperate account for a summer home. If she was wrong and you can have it on the same account, how can you receive locals from two cities at the same time?

    No Tower, the argument is made that the landlord owns the building and occupancy permits that allows him construct the building according to code and allow occupants and the public access in and out of the building. Although the visitors are physically in his building it is his TENANT who is...

    SatelliteGuys Makes The Court Case

    I think that Charlie has tried to deliver more choices while keeping cost as low as possible. When dealing with channel providers he has gone head-to-head with them to keep the cost low. I think that cable providers and Direct have been too buddy-buddy with them, and who knows whose coffers...

    New England Dish customers/distant networks

    These policies are archaic and need to catch up with the global economy. Next these policy makers and judges will take away our right from buying merchandise online because it infringes on the local Wal-Mart’s market share. Furthermore, does this not infringe on free speech? Would if I don't...
