    Hopper 3 Keeps Loosing Internet Connection

    I found if you disconnect the router, then disconnect every device connected to it-install only the Hopper, restart the router and it makes it much better for the router to find only one device instead of several. Then slowly begin adding each device to the router, might help.

    DISH really steps up

    The point is Topic Starter is happy!! It should not matter beyond that. I have been with Dish since 1997--They have never treated me bad on any request.

    after 15 years, i really dont get much

    I have been with Dish since 1998 and I have never looked back. Thru all the testing, mishaps and equipment problems, I like to think both I and Dish have learned a lot and I have contributed a lot of input, as well as gained a lot back from Dish. There are a lot of "freebies" and some you just...

    NASA TV - HD or do we lose it?

    Maybe a lot of people have forgot. NASA is a great program for kids. Girls and boys who study science and their teachers find this to be great programming Maybe we should remember that a nation who forgets its past, may be headed for trouble.

    Does Dish not cave in to cancellation requests any more?

    I didn't . But then again I joined in 1997 and installed my own equipment from Echostar using a toy compass!! Then everything was about 65% cheaper!! Dish has given me a loyalty award of some kind just about every year. No big deal. I have stuck with them thru thick and thin and never looked back.

    Dish tech old receivers signature

    There is no Dish tech. since I have been with Dish so long they trusted me to do my own install. A signed certified return doesn't matter is a Dish janitor signed it. Dish agrees.

    What exactly does it mean that Hopper3 is not available in my area

    Not necessarily. They rejected me because they said they had problems in my area (Oregon) with the low beam satellite. Yet I showed and watched on a signal strength of 68. I called the head of Tech and said "look guys I have never had a problem, and how come my current Hopper works fine)? Dish...

    Transfer recordings to new Hopper 3

    I recently returned a bad Hopper. The Tech in replacement receivers, said Dish had a way to transfer your recordings . I got the impression he was not supposed to talk about it? Aurora Colorado.......I was thinking when they get the old receiver back, perhaps they could transfer the recording to...

    Encore channels

    The Encore channels are from Starz. Most of the movies on them are old and usually adjustment of your screen to Zoom. I don't believe they can be in HD. However you could simply shoot a email to Starz or of course Dish. Hopefully someone with more info on this could contact you in this forum...

    Hopper 3 requires higher mount antenna?

    The final result is Dish says I am tagged as a low antenna (at 16ft) and if I want to find a retailer to mount the H3 that might be the way to go. Sounds to me like they left me hanging and taking my own risk. So much for being a customer since 1997! I will get a super joey and give it another...
