    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...

    Horrible streaming speed

    I have a two hopper setup with an HWS and a regular hopper. Lately, every On Demand show I try to download comes in at very slow speeds. I have Grande, running 48-50 Mbps. Every show I try to DL comes in at <1 Mbps. I can't figure out where the bottleneck is. I have a Netgear N900 router...

    Wireless Joey

    I am considering replacing a Joey with a wireless Joey. I have the current one set up as an unofficial wireless, but we get freeze ups and dropouts. A few questions: what are the costs of doing so: monthly and initial? Does it require professional installation, or will they send me the stuff...

    Enable Ethernet on HWS

    I have a 2 hopper system with an HWS and a standard Hopper. I have 2 joeys wired, and one wireless (unofficially). My HWS is connected over Wifi, and the download speeds are horrible (3-4 mb/s). I have an ethernet connection near the hopper, and I speedtested it at 51 mb/s. I plugged the HWS...

    Gamefinder App

    Why does the Gamefinder app not include NCAA Women's Basketball? I am sure it does not have the fanbase of men's, but I would think it would include women's.

    The Americans

    Is anyone watching this? The 2nd Season just started last week. It is about a couple that are ostensibly married, deep cover KGB agents living in Virginia in 1981. Their next-door neighbor is an FBI agent. I like it. Each episode is suspenseful as they try to maintain a normal American...

    Hopper loses EHD

    I have an EHD connected to my HWS. Every time I pull up the DVR page, I go to the pulldown, and it only shows the 2 hoppers, not the EHD. I disconnect the EHD from the USB port, plug it back in, and it works. The next time I go to use the EHD, it is gone. Wash, rinse repeat. Is this a known bug...

    Help me decide on a new TV

    Hey guys, I figured that you all were the experts on new TVs and diplays, so I thought I would gather your thoughts about a new living room TV.

    On Demand and rentals won't hop

    Last night i discovered an issue with my Hopper system. I don't know if this is a known bug or not. I have a 2H/3J system. I rented a PPV movie on Hopper B.

According to the team website, it is carried on FCS. I cannot find a listing for it on any of the Fox alternate...
