    Hopper 1.0 is dying. Should I replace, upgrade to 2.0, or wait for new Hopper 3.0?

    My Gen1 hopper is acting up again. It just randomly shuts itself off with no warning and restarts a few times per day. One of the DIRT team members replaced it about 8 months ago, for the same issue, and now it's happening again. So, should I just go ahead and upgrade to Hopper with Sling...

    Locals with Tailgater

    I just picked up one of these today, but I'm curious about locals. Mine are on 129, Transponder 5. Is there a map somewhere where I can see where Transponder 5 is accessible? For instance, if I leave VA to go to Clemson for a game, will I still be able to pick up those Roanoke DMA locals? and...

    Audio Skipping? High Pitch Noise On Hopper

    Does anyone else have this problem? This happened all the time on my 622 and now my hopper as well. Basically, when watching a program (recording, live, anything) from time to time there will be these intermittent and very loud pops or skips of a really high pitch screech. I know it's not my...

    Install happening right now

    We've tried 2 hoppers and each one is taking forever to download software, step 3. The tech seems to be at a loss for what the problem might be.. Any ideas? It's going on 30 minutes for the download right now, and it says it shouldn't take more than 20

    Network Access for Joeys

    Hey guys, Currently, my two dishes (one 119/110, and the other at 129) are on top of the roof of my back deck. I'm going to be tearing the deck down pretty soon and I need my dishes to be moved off of it. What are my options for this? When the tech last came to move my 61.5 to 119 (about 2...

    Hey guys. I used to be pretty active here, but college came along, and I've had to have Comcast for the past few years. It's been good enough, but I'm graduating soon, and I'll be moving back home for a few years so that I can pay down some of those pesky student loans. Anyways, my question is...

    Blu Standalones Out-Sell HD-DVD ($99) in December

    Even HD-DVD players being $200 cheaper, they still can't outsell the Blu. "It’s hard for us to speculate about impact this will have on the format war. All we can do really is make the best decision for our business and the rest of it will really take care of itself, in time," he said. "One...

    Blu-ray Needs to STEP UP! Walmart, this Friday HD-A2 at $99.87

    This is just getting crazy. BD needs to step up, subsidize the costs on these players and get them in the hands of Walmart and the like. They will not win with this strategy. Some people make the claim that the price doesn't matter. And in many ways I can agree, look at the iPod for instance...

I prefer a campaign mode over playing people over and over and over online. I really do not care about my online rankings and if I win a match every now and...
