    Hopper 3 reset timer?

    My Hopper 3 resets at random times almost daily. Changing the timer value seems to change the time of day that the reset occurs, but it doesn't follow the setting. For instance, I had the timer set for 0100 hrs and the reset was happening between 0600 and 1000. So I change the timer to 0400, now...

    New to EA

    I recently returned to Dish and have a Hopper 3 and a new dish pointed at the eastern arc. Last time I had Dish, everyone was on 119/110 and the signal strengths were all in the high 90s. Very few rain fades. Now on EA, rain fades seem much more frequent and signal strengths seem low. Ranging...

    DECA or Wireless CCK or Both?

    RSNs still part-time HD?

    Does Dish still only do game time HD on the RSNs (specificlly NESN). Thats the main reason I left, and now considering a return, but not if I'd get SD RedSox games without warning. Thanks, Eric

    New BUD for me!

    Found this 8(?)footer for free, just get it down. It's on top of about 15 feet of 3 1/2" pipe anchored to the front of the garage, so it's only 7 feet or so above the roof. Any advice on getting it down? Kind of an odd LNB mount, Nobody seems to have a clue as to brand. Thanks, Eric

    Small market SD local PQ issues

    Greetings, I just switched to Directv last week after being with Dish since 1996. I have a 5 LNB slimline, an HR-22 DVR and an R22. I've been disappointed with the picture quality on the Bangor, ME SD local channels. The CBS affiliate has lip synch issues almost daily and the FOX affiliate...

    NESN HD Questions

    I've searched here and at DTVs website and I'm still not sure I have an answer to this: Does DTV provide RSNs as part of the local channels? Specificly, I'm in 04105 and would get Portland ME Locals and NESN all in HD, if I buy the HD package? (in addition to the family package) Does DTV...
