    X1 problem w CC sync on recordings.

    Unfortunately that didn't clear up the issue. BTW I only have one X1 dvr in the house and that setting seems to be something to sync DVR recordings across multiple devices and I'm only watching on the DVR itself. Thanks for the tip though.

    Any of you guys switch from Dish Network to Comcast recently?

    There was some talk that Comcast was going to offer cloud based storage for dvr recordings. Don't know if that ever happened or is going to happen.

    X1 problem w CC sync on recordings.

    I have noticed that on almost all of my recordings the CC's are out of sync with the video. There does not seem to be anyway to fix this other than to reboot the X1. Rebooting does clear up the issue but is a pita to do whenever you want to watch a recording. Has anybody run across this issue?

    ETF I expected but not a charge for this

    I will say this about unethical, I have a hopper and three joeys that could easily fit in one box and I could live with the $10, if they require me to use 4 separate boxes and charge me $40 then I think that's unethical

    ETF I expected but not a charge for this

    The Dish rep told me it was $10 per box (don't know if it was shipping box or tuner box) and since I had 4 boxes it would be $40. Hope she was wrong and it is only $10.

    ETF I expected but not a charge for this

    I cancelled service today and as expected I owed a $180 etf. I was also informed that I would be charged $10 per box to return equipment. I have 3 joeys and a hopper and according to the rep that's $40 in additional charges. I don't recall being charged a fee to return equipment but it's been a...

    What remotes are X1 customers getting?

    Thanks for the info. I believe I will order four of the x5 v4 off ebay and have them on hand if the installer brings out the old ones. They are also being sold in the Comcast store but at a much higher price. The Comcast page also talks about a voice controlled remote the x11 which it says is...

    What remotes are X1 customers getting?

    I was wondering if anyone had a recent whole home DVR install done. I was curious about what model remotes people are getting, the X2 or the X5. Reason I was asking is the X5 v4 is being sold new on Ebay new for $6-7 bucks and it's supposed to be the more advanced of the 2. I have an install...

    Well I've dropped Netflix for now. I'm now looking for Dish to give us an Amazon prime video app :)

    Any idea when this might roll out for the joeys?

    My Bluetooth experience

    I hadn't paid much attention to the Hopper bluetooth feature until I happened to turn on the TV and the Dish tutorial on the feature was on. I do have fairly significant hearing loss and the idea of having the sound signal directly into my ears was appealing especially since the rest of the...

    Dish Anywhere on Android Tablet

    I couldn't figure out the proper hoops to jump through in order to send dish dvr recordings via the anywhere app to the sd storage card on the tablet. There isn't enough available space on the main storage area of my tablet where the app wanted to send them.

    Half price premiums or did I dream this?

    I did order Showtime through Dish online chat, $9 for 6 mos. It was very quick, about 15 minutes total, ten minute wait for an agent and 5 min to order.

    Half price premiums or did I dream this?

    Yeah IMO $19 a month is too much for HBO. I am currently contemplating paying $14 a month for Showtime because they have two series on right now that I like but probably won't.

    It could have been something through the mail also.

    Half price premiums or did I dream this?

    I could have sworn I received an e-mail from Dish the other day offering premium channels like Showtime, HBO etc at half price for six months. Now I can't find the e-mail nor is there any info on the Dish website. Did I just imagine this or did I miss the window for ordering?

    Closed Caption concerns

    I don't mean to bash Dish but I was with Direct for the two years preceding switching to Dish in Jan of this year and it was far superior in delivering CC. I just don't understand that as the same technology should be available to both services.

    Closed Caption concerns

    It's really a shame that they don't do a better job, I think they need to have their feet held to the fire perhaps by filing an ADA complaint. There is no technological reason for the CC service to be so poor. Here's a link to the subject from the National Association of the deaf...

    How to test locks without renting anything

    Thanks again for trying that. I also noticed that my home media server now requires a password, that was something I didn't need but it's no big deal.
