    Intermitten Black Screen on Hopper Sling

    I am getting black screen flicker as well. It does it randomly, and will last between just a flicker to up to one or two seconds. I will try rebooting and see if that helps. ETA--I am getting this flicker regardless of how the programming is coming in: Netflix (although it seems worse on...

    Does it work on non-4K tvs?

    WHERE WILL YOU HOPPERGO?

    They debuted that at CES. I figure it is in response to the fact that most people's portable devices are limited to 16 gb of internal storage. This device allows people to take a lot of contact with them without filling up their ipad.

    Hopper 3 install report and key learnings, tips, tricks

    I would assume they are the same. On one of our Joeys, the wall wart cord was ziptied to the tv mount. The tech unplugged it, plugged the Joey 2 in and we were off to the races.

    Netflix not working on H3?

    Netflix works on mine...sort of. It is flaky, and is prone to reboots and lockups. My wife isn't happy either. [emoji15]

    HOPPER 3 UPGRADES

    I have a question for you all. When the tech was at my house installing the H3, he had to replace my 1000.4 antenna for a 1000.2 antenna. When he left, he left the old antenna in my yard. Do I need to do anything with it?

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    Thanks for posting this thread, Scott. I put my name on the list, and was on page 6. I was going home from an out of town trip Saturday night and I got a message from Chris on the DIRT Team. When I got home, we message back and forth, and he set up my install for Sunday afternoon. Then the Tech...

    HOPPER 3 UPGRADES

    It is more like leaving a callback number. You are still in line, but you don't have to spend hours listening to bad Musak!

    HOPPER 3 UPGRADE WAITING LIST!

    I am interested in a Hopper 3 upgrade.

    HOPPER 3 UPGRADES

    I would think that would be the case for most 2 Hopper people. Scott said that 5% of hopper customers have 2 Hoppers. I would be willing to bet that if they all upgraded to Hopper 3, 95% (or more) of them would opt for a single H3, and a number of Joeys or wireless Joeys. I would also be...

    DISH 2016 CES Press Event

    forgive me if this has been asked, but does it have component video outputs? The reason I ask is that my oldest AV receiver does not have HDMI. I know that the Joeys are HDMI or composite only, but I could hook the H3 to that one receiver and run the rest of the house with Joeys.

    DISH 2016 CES Press Event

    So, if I remember correctly from the Price Increase thread, a grandfathered hopper is $12 per month, so a person with 2 would pay $24. If a person were to upgrade to the H3 and a joey, he would now pay $22 per month ($15 hopper fee + 7 for a joey), to keep everything equal.

    Hopper 3 and Wally

    And if you are an existed customer, you are looking at $15+7 vs $12+$12. It would save you $2/month to upgrade to the new machine with 2X the capacity.

    DISH Price Increases

    Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what is a Wally? ETA: Since receiver fees are grandfathered, with Top 200 going up and Starz going down, I will just about come out even. ;)

    Can I use a Hopper (all 4 tuners) with OTA on same cable, and Joey?

    That is correct. Without getting pedantic, the node acts as a router for your Hopper/Joey system. As others have said, it is installed between the Dish and the hopper. Single hopper systems use a Solo node, 2 hopper setups use a Duo node. The node is what separates the signals into specific...

    Macroblocking on Football Game

    I just wanted to check and see if anyone else is experiencing really bad macroblocking/artifacting on the Alabama LSU football game. I have an HWS, and the game is on the local CBS channel. I checked other football games, and no issues. Is it my local channel or Dish's feed or something on my...

    TEGNA Blacks Out DISH Customers in 38 Markets

    I have a question about this. My wife is furious that NBC in our local market is down. If I were to "move" to DFW, then we would lose ABC. Can someone post a link to the page where you put in your zipcode and it gives you spotbeam information? Thanks!

    Another retrans fight. This has gotten very old

    Is there any way to know if Dish will import a station? Both NBC stations that I receive are affected by this.

    SPECIAL REPORT: Is Stealing the NEW WAY of watching TV?

    True, but if the sellers insinuated that the buyers could get free tv legally when that actually is not the case, isn't that fraud? My point is that while the boxes may be legal to sell and own, the sales tactics that were used were not.

    SPECIAL REPORT: Is Stealing the NEW WAY of watching TV?

    Agreed. Although I think that the consumers in this situation shouldn't be held responsible for the the theft, rather the sellers of the box. They are defrauding the public and should be held accountable. If I sold a stolen car that the buyer did not know was stolen, I would be held responsible...

    When will Dish get better at lettting us reecord a whole football game

    Taking this topic on a different tangent, I am getting really tired of ESPN's annoying habit of moving games around. Say your game was scheduled to start on ESPN 2, but for whatever reason, they move it to SEC Network for the first quarter, to ESPN U for the second quarter, and back to ESPN2 for...

    Horrible streaming speed

    I think I fixed it (maybe). I logged into the router, and it gave me the option to upgrade the firmware, which I did. I noticed that my router has two frequencies 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I tweaked the settings on the 5ghz. Then I opened the menu of the HWS, change the network to the 5ghz frequency and...

    Horrible streaming speed

    I have run Ookla. That is where I get the 40-50 number above. 31cold, should I cancel the Tech visit? Should I switch to Time Warner? (Only other option)
