    WARNING: CBS All Access Prime Video channel not viewable on the Hopper 3

    So, normal Prime Video content works fine on the Hopper 3. Duh. But, adding a CBS All Access channel to your Prime Video (To watch "Picard," "The Good Fight," "The Twilight Zone," etc.) subscription comes with a nasty surprise. I found out the hard way when I tried to watch "Picard" today. The...

    Super Joey noise?

    Is the Super Joey noisy like a regular DVR (625, 722k, etc.)? I'm considering one for my master bedroom, but I loathe the noise of a standard DVR especially during the 4 AM reboot. Thanks.

    Any new hardware rumors for Dish?

    I'm finally tempted to get a Hopper (possibly w/ Sling) now that OTA modules are available for the Hopper. I just don't want to lease something to have a new DVR come out 2 months later. (I'm okay with a year later.) Has anyone heard anything about any new hardware?

    Maximum number of timers randomly changing on my 722k

    It used to be 77 now it's down to 55. For whatever reason, the maximum number of timers on my 722k keeps dropping. Has anyone else seen this?

    Good grief does Game Plan stink

    I just happened to browse the offerings on Game Plan. To my surprise, one of them is the standard definition broadcast of Middle Tennessee St at Georgia Tech. But, that same game is available in HD on NESN! Multi-sports pack vs. (not even inexpensive) Game Plan? What is ESPN smoking? It's 2012...

    4 premiums and AT250 vs. AEP

    I currently subscribe to 3 premiums and AT250. It looks like it would be $9 cheaper to go with America's Everything Pack if I added the 4th premium. (Actually, it looks like my bill would be exact same rate that it is now.) Would I lose any channels going with America's Everything Pack...

    Swanni asking Dish and Direct TV customers to demand AMC HD

    Yeah, I like "Mad Men", too. However, I'll just wait for the Blu-Ray. Dish isn't going to add any Rainbow channels due to the Voom suit, etc. Direct? Well, Direct would have to be interested in adding linear HD channels that aren't homegrown 3D stuff. No Mad Men In HD For DIRECTV, Dish...

    Phase III...

    No one started a thread yet for the additions in May? Is the magic date still May 12 (I know E14 comes online on the 21st.)?

    Has anyone tested a 1.5 or 2TB drive,yet? I see Fry's has a 2TB FreeAgent for $230 right now! :D I had to start a new thread as the original was too old to bump.

    Dish running adult PPV ads on E!

    i record "Chelsea Lately" every night around 1AM. I watched last night's episode. There was an ad for the Fresh channel along with an option to hit press "Select now" to order. I'm no prude. However, I thought that was a bit inappropriate. Oy!

    TV One where are you?

    I look enviously at D* and U-verse users that have TVOne. Does Dish have a really bad relationship with Comcast? Is this why there's no TVOne on Dish (besides having a largely rural non-urban audience)?

    211 updates?

    I went home for lunch and saw my 211 updatig its guide. I didn't wait for it complete because I had to get back to the office. Did the 211's get an update recently? (Recently can mean as much as 6 weeks for me, as I'm usually one of the last to get a new update.)

    Replacement schedule for AMC-14?

    Has AMC announced plans to replace AMC-14 at 61.5, yet? I wanted to bump my old thread, but it was too old. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-technical-discussions/147027-dish-echostar-satellite-launches-2009-a.html

    Dear Dish, please support larger hard drives

    750GB drives are getting more and more rare and are no longer the sweet spot. 1.5TB (twice the capacity) drives are now the per GB sweet spot. Please up your limits. (That goes for anyone from DROBO if they're reading this as well.)

    $4.99 titles at Frys.

    I'm not sure if this is online or just the B&M stores. Here are the titles: Army of Darkness Born on the 4th of July The Bourne Identity The Bourne Supremacy — bad transfer, consider the Blu coming out next month Bruce Almighty Carlito's Way The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift The...

    Petition to get BD-Live (profile 2.0) added to the LG BH200

    The player is BD-Live capable. It just needs a firmware update. Yes, it's also better to call LG America at 1-800-243-0000 or e-mail them via customersupport@lge.com. However, someone also started an online petition. LG BH-200 users ask LG to provide BD-Live support Petition : [ powered by...

    Equivalent Direct TV price?

    No, I'm not starting a Dish vs. Direct thread or any crap like that. I just want to know approximately what will this cost me on Direct as my Dish contract is expiring. Currently I have a 622 (one HD and one SD display attached) DVR, a 211 receiver (one HD display) and a 625 DVR (one SD...

    Firmware 4.0 is available for all player generations

    This fixes the 1080p24 AVC bug with the HD-A20 and the HD-XA2. I haven't heard whether or not it fixes it for the HD-A30 and HD-A35. Download it from Toshiba and burn a CD--it's not on the player download network, yet. Resource for : Firmware Update Information for Owners of Toshiba HD...

    HD on C-Band?

    Hopefully this is in the right place. I'm currently a Dish customer with a small Ku? band dish on my house. I'm curious about C-band as for me there is no Verizon and that would be the only way to get full HD other than OTA/Blu-Ray/HD DVD. I see that Big Dish offers Discovery in HD...

    Dish/Echostar satellite launches in 2009?

    Does Dish/Echostar or a partner have any launches planned for 2009? I know about Echostar 13 this fall to replace that dying bird at 129 as well as the AMC-14 oops earlier this year. (Echostar 11 is now in place!) launch schedule - the most comprehensive list of future launches on the web...

    Replace the fan on the 722/622?

    Anyone replaced the fan(s) in the 722/622 with something quieter. Rather than replacing my owned 211 with an owned 222, I may decide to lease a 722/622 (likely the former). However, I want to know if anyone has replaced the fan with something quieter. My 622 and 625 are both like jet...

    Anyone else get nasty artifacting during the 2nd showing of Dr. Who last night?

    I saw some nasty whiteout type issues during "Dr. Who" (2nd showing) on Sci-Fi HD. What was weird was that I was watching this on my bedroom LCD! The entire picture went out for a split second. Yeah, I'll e-mail dishquality. However, I wanted to see if anyone else experienced the issue.
