    Thinking it is time to leave Dish

    Signed up for the 5 day free trials from PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV yesterday. Both seem to be pretty highly rated and YouTube has locals (getting from the next city over). PlayStation Vue has my CBS live and the rest of the locals on demand but I have my OTA antenna that I have been using...

    Thinking of switching to Sling from Dish

    Is there any way to use a physical DVR (like Tivo) with Sling or is the only option their cloud DVR service? I really like the H3 but between the limited channels I watch and the excessive equipment fees I can no longer justify the $100+/month bill. I did look into the Flex packages but that...

    2 single tuner OTA and sling adapter

    I have started a small collection of DISH OTA dongles and a sling adapter from my original Hopper setup back in the day. Now with my H3 and new dual OTA tuner I have no need for these devices. Is there still a market for the sling adapter or the single OTA tuners?

    Hopper 3 endless rebooting

    It has been doing this for several hours, I did the soft reset using the red power button, did the hard reset by unplugging the receiver for a few minutes. After the Hopper 3 splash screen it displays Starting Up 9999 then reboots again and so on. Anyone know what this is?

Normally that would be great but I am getting 10-15 notifications for each game. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting to turn on/off notifications? I...

    Dish NTelos partnership for internet

    http://www.nbc29.com/story/26035603/ntelos-dish-partner-to-bring-broadband-internet-to-rural-va I don't remember hearing about this before this article. Is this what Dish eventually plans to use their bandwidth for or are they going to use it for cell phone service?

    Odd Hopper w/sling recordings

    I was looking at what was on the HDD of my HWS last night and ran across multiple recordings of something called Airbrushed Beauty. There were 20 or so recordings of this infomercial from various channels. I checked my timers to confirm one was not accidentally set and there are no timers...

    Is anyone using a sling adapter and an EHD on a first gen Hopper successfully?

    Dish Anywhere is now recognizing my Hopper with sling but not my Hopper with sling adapter. On my Hopper with the sling adapter I also have an EHD plugged in. Trying figure out why one would show and not the other.

    In laymans terms, why no VIP integration with Hopper

    I don't understand why my VIP722 and 211 will not be able to be used with the hopper system. I have read a few posts that allude to account stacking. What would make Dish susceptible to account stacking with a mixed Hopper/VIP system?

    Patrice O'Neal

    http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/30/arts/patrice-oneal-boisterous-comedian-dies-at-41.html Patrice made numerous appearances on O&A throughout the years. He was not everyone's cup of tea but he had a way of seeing issues and commenting on them that made me laugh.

    Signal Amp

    Since the merger I have noticed more and more signal loss and drop outs on my XM units in the cars. Maybe it is related to the reduction of terrestrial repeaters. Anyone know of a high gain car antenna or a signal amplifier that is available?

    Has anyone seen the new commercial? I just saw it on Science HD. It is a montage of diverse customers talking about how Dish is better than cable, clearer reception, better customer service, you can have a DVR, etc... There is one woman in it that instantly reminded me of Arnold's character...
