My Hopper (several years old) died and Dish has sent me a replacement. I remember that when the Hopper/Joey system was new, Joeys were very temperamental and their installation could not be started until the Hopper was fully up and running. Has that problem been fixed? My real question is...

Right now, Dish has Al Jazeera America in SD only. I believe that this is because of the old Dish and Current TV carriage agreement which ALJAM inherited when they bought Current. Does anybody know how long that agreement has to go before it expires? I abhor SD.

I asked this question on another thread several days ago, but there was no response so I will try again in a new thread. Back when the Hopper was first released I thought I read that, if you have a direct Internet connection to the Hopper, it will act like a bridge and any Joey attached to it...

I just got the Hopper installed yesterday. There are lots of things I like and lots that are going to take getting used to. So far the most disturbing thing is that I cannot resume partially watched recordings. The only choices I am given are "delete", "start over", or "live TV". Why would I go...

Can somebody please tell me how to access the EHD purely for playing back its content? My Hopper was just installed today. I connected the EHD from my old 622 and it popped up a message on the screen saying I had connected an external device. So far so good. But now I can't figure out how to...

I realized today that I can't remember if I am still on contract with Dish or not. If I am on contract, I don't know how long it will be before I am off contract. How can I find out my status without calling a CSR? I thought all I would need to do would be to log onto my account at dish.com. I...

Before last Friday I was able to watch KTLA's digital signal (Los Angeles Channel 5 and former superstation). Their digital signal was (and still is I believe) broadcast on physical channel 31, virtual channel 5-1. The signal was a little weak at my house. My VIP 622 and the Mitsubishi WD-73727...

My present E* subscription includes Classic Gold 250 and Turbo HD, so I get my two RSN's in HD. They are Fox Sports West and Fox Sports Prime Ticket. I am now considering adding the Multi-Sports Pack. The Dish web site makes it look like that package includes only SD versions of Fox Sports West...

I am confused about how Dish relays programming to us and how they label stations (in the guide) as HD or not. I would appreciate a short tutorial or being pointed to a web site that clearly explains all this stuff. As you can see below, I have a whole lot of questions. For local stations, I...

Based on mostly positive reviews of the Logitech Harmony 880 Universal Remote that I saw in a couple of threads here (there were a few negative reviews, I admit), I bought the 880 over Christmas. I can see that it has great potential, but getting it set up to my taste has been a struggle, and I...

I am just about ready to pay my $40 and attach an external hard drive to my 622. I went to Dish's web site and to various threads here at SatelliteGuys to gather information. Everything looks straightforward except for two things: What brand of 750 GB disk to buy. Almost every brand seems to...

Baseball fans---What is the longest or hardest hit ball you ever saw in person? For me, it was a ball hit by Frank Howard of the Dodgers against the Yankees in the 1963 World Series. He hit a line drive which left the playing field unbelievably fast. It was still rising when it crashed into the...

After the new HD channels were added the other day, I noticed that I could not get the Science channel even though I have Top 250 and the HD Ultimate package. The channel appeared in my guide both in the 94xx area and mapped down to 3xx. But if I selected the channel in the guide I got "signal...

Right now, except for the big four networks in some markets, locals on Dish are apparently analog feeds which have been digitized and compressed for satellite transmission. Next February those analog feeds will be gone. How will E* (and D* for that matter) adjust to this? E* for sure doesn't...

I am confused about something on my account. I figure calling Dish is likely to get me confused further and quite possibly I will be given wrong information. So I thought I would try here first. I have AT250 and UltimateHD. When I log on to the Dish site and look at my account in the "At a...
