    Dish Protect

    I try to keep Superman hidden until I really need him. Most of the time I'm just a mild mannered reporter.

    Dish Protect

    To my great surprise the roofer did re-install the dish. They said that it was put back in the same spot using the same screw holes. I was skeptical knowing that it has to be pretty precise. I was surprised again when I did have some of my channels, but unfortunately not all. It appeared as...

    Scanning OTA channels Hopper 3

    Our local CBS affiliate ch. 3 in Madison Wis. recently added new higher power UHF antennas to their towers. The old VHF antennas were left in place. They advised viewers to re-scan their tv's etc. to get the new signal. When I did that on two of my tv's that have built in tuners I of course...

    Dish PPV movie rental

    Ok, sounds like you have HD enabled if you are getting 4k and HDR. I don't have the plus so I'm not very familiar with the settings on that. I only have the Hopper 3. The settings under the TV icon include adjusting the screen and different resolution settings. You mentioned trying to order the...

    Dish Protect

    If I installed it on a pole below where it is now it would be pointed directly into my neighbors 2 story house. It has to be on the roof (25' up)to point over their house. Other spots in my yard would have to deal with trees.

    Dish PPV movie rental

    I too get a free ppv certificate every month and although I get error messages from time to time I've never seen that one. Do you have HD enabled in your settings? If you're not sure it's under the TV icon in the settings. If you have it set to 480i or 480p that could be the problem. Change the...

    Dish Protect

    I called Dish today to find out what was involved in getting our dish re-installed on the roof. We're getting a new roof in a week or so and I'm pretty sure the roofer won't re-install it:) The person I spoke with told me that I would be charged a $140 fee for the service. I asked about Dish...

    H3 or recent update?

    I also noticed that at least one of the timers(Better Call Saul) changed to a "seek" timer after the 3-4 recordings we had disappeared. So it seems that the loss of the recordings also may have messed with the shows timer.

    H3 or recent update?

    If you mean they have already played taps over my lost recordings, yes. Being a beer drinker here in Wis. I'm also very familiar with beer taps:)

    H3 or recent update?

    Just looked through the 50 or so timers we have and by default all say, "keep all events". Never knew exactly what that accomplished, please enlighten me. If it keeps them where are they??

    H3 or recent update?

    Hmmm, that's interesting. Right now it says that my DVR is at 1% capacity. It can vary up to 10% but never above that. I know that indicator is not very accurate but wouldn't it show a much higher number before I experienced any recording loses?

    H3 or recent update?

    Yes, not in trash. The OTA recordings were in their own automatically created folders. The entire folder with 3-5 recordings each disappeared. Also tried rebooting everything but they didn't come back.

    H3 or recent update?

    Has anyone else experienced the loss of DVR recordings lately? About a week ago I noticed that several war movies that I recorded on Memorial Day(on TCM) had just vanished into thin air. The next day I realized that it was not just those movies but several other recordings were gone including...

    Paramount+....

    Just found out my favorite show Seal Team is moving to Paramount + exclusively starting in Nov.:( Unfortunately(for Paramount and me) that's not enough of an incentive to pay for the service. I recently did a 7 day free trial of Paramount + and didn't see much that I really wanted to watch.

    Ota signals causing hopper3 to stutter

    A re-scan does fix it but like a re-boot the fix is only temporary. Like I said it usually can be resolved by changing channels and then back to the problem channel but there are times when a re-boot is necessary. The biggest pain is when the channel is locked up with the error and it blocks a...

    Ota signals causing hopper3 to stutter

    I have a 4 way in the basement and two 2-ways by two of the tv's. I'm not sure which is getting the lower db loss feed but am aware of the difference in ports and always try to give the longer or more important runs the stronger signal. I actually used to install antennas way back when. I have...

    Ota signals causing hopper3 to stutter

    It occurs randomly with all of my OTA channels. The error 739 message can usually be cleared by changing channels back/forth. Sometimes a re-boot is needed to fix it. I have a small Channel Master UHF/VHF antenna on the roof with no amps needed since we are only about 12 miles from the...

    Ota signals causing hopper3 to stutter

    I've been getting occasional error 739's on OTA channels for over a year now. The only solution the Tech. that came to my house had several months ago was to try a different dual tuner dongle, which didn't help. I use a rooftop antenna with all channels showing 100% signal. Lately I've also...

    Free Previews Discussion Thread - September 2020

    Saw this today as well. I was surprised that it didn't show a start date. My guess is that the channels will be turned on sometime tomorrow(Thur.) They usually start the movie channel previews on Thur. even though Fri. is the day that's shown.

    Any other seniors w/ problems cashing in free monthly movie certificates?

    What the CS told you about having to call in is bologna. I always order them from my phone or tablet. With the Stars and Stripes pack I get 1-2 free movies each month. At the bottom of the e-mail that they send me with the certificate number is a link to "order on demand movie". I click on that...

    OTA issue

    I'm still getting this error screen on occasion even with 100% signal on all of my OTA channels. It totally locks up the channel until I change channels or in some cases I have to re-boot my H3. The Dish Tech that came to my house a few months back swapped out my old tuner dongle for a new Dish...

    Dropping local channels - Leave old timers?

    If you drop the Dish locals the timers will not default to the OTA channels. You will have to re-due all of the local channel timers to the new channel. I imagine that you could leave the old timers in place but having the same program setup to record on two different channels might cause problems.
