    Hopper Question (probably dumb)

    We have two of the original, non-Sling Hoppers w/no Joeys. They are connected to the internet and work just fine (albeit a bit slow). They also have telephone lines connected for CallerID. These lines were a requirement for some billing reason years ago, plus I think you received a discount...

    Hopper Upgrade?

    We will probably be moving within the next 6 months and we want to keep our Dish - it's pricey but we still like Dish. We have two of the original, non-Sling Hoppers that we love but with the upcoming move, I have been thinking about upgrading to the latest model at that time. We have a lot of...

    Hopper Content Sharing Problem (S605?)

    We have 2 of the original (no Sling) Hoppers (LR & BR) and we love them! We often like to watch content from the BR Hopper on the LR Hopper. This had worked well for some time. Recently we found that the internet connection from the BR => LR is very unstable and really unwatchable. The LR's...

    Hopper Magazine ?

    Maybe I am missing something but I wonder why the EPIX movie channels are not included in the listings?

    Hopper S440

    I have 2 of the early Hoppers w/o Sling both now running S440. Both are unstable and at times I must turn the Hopper off via the remote, wait a few seconds and then turn it back on for the video to return. Both downloads were rough and I had to unplug each one and plug it back in for them to...

    Hopper Sound Issues

    We have two of the original (non-Sling) units with no Joeys and we just LOVE them! One problem - when we record movies either from PPV or from HBO/Cinemax/Showtime, etc. the volume is greatly reduced and drops off slowly as we watch the movie. The sound is almost completely gone by the...

    Add The CW to PTAT

    Hi! We are in the Washington, DC DMA and it would be great if The CW could be added to PTAT. :)

    PTAT Feature Suggestion

    I think it would be nice if there were an option to turn off PTAT optionally on the weekends and resume M-F of course. Just a thought.

    Need to get serious about 3D

    BB's support for 3D material seems half-hearted at best. :( 1) I think a separate category, "3D Blu-ray" or some such is needed and 2) more 3D Blu-ray titles should be added and 3) I realize streaming 3D could be a problem due to customer bandwidth limitations but it still should be...

    It Would Be Nice...

    Last Sunday the NFL ran late (Redskins in OT, etc.) so that slipped everything on CBS that evening one hour. We also are CSI fans and therefore the start time for CSI Miami slipped from 10PM to 11PM. Of course, my timer started recording at 10PM. It would be nice if somehow the timers could...

    722/622 Tuners Could be Smarter

    As you can see from my signature, I have both a 622 and a 722 receiver. In spite of Dish's messed-up records, the 722 is the main unit. When recording two consecutive shows on the same channel, the 722 often assigns a different tuner to each show. This makes no sense at all to me. A single...

    MASN2 HD?

    This might be a dumb question - but does Dish have MASN2 in HD? (Nationals tonight)

    Dish's Website

    The Satellite TV - HD Satellite Television - DISH 1.800.823.4929 site seems to be having problems this afternoon. Can't login - went back to the old logins, now can't remotely access the receivers. Kindly fix soon.

    I Wish Dish Had ...

    Ok, I see the new 922 has Sling, etc. That's all very nice; however, it doesn't do a thing for me. What I would like from Dish is a 722-type receiver that has more than 2 satellite inputs, and not limiting us to recording a maximum of 2 programs at one time. 3 or 4 inputs would be great...

    Eastern Arc for Existing Customers

    Guys: I have been a bit out of the loop for a while, so please bear with me. I live in zip 22044 (Falls Church, VA) and my signature has the present configuration. I continue to have trouble with the 61.5 "wing" dish (can't hold alignment) and I was wondering about the availability of the...

    Another Good One

    Ok, I have a bit of a brain-teaser for your consideration... I cannot receive anything on Transponder 25 on the 61.5 bird - all others are ok. The signal strength is a bit low on 61.5 and we did have some terrible wind a while back, so maybe my 61.5 dish needs tweaking???? :confused: Any...

    Activation of 622 External Storage

    Scott: Why doesn't E* just set up our on-line accounts so that we can activate external storge ourselves? This can't be that big of a deal. Just my 2 cents. --Doug

    Wash DC HD Locals- Shock & AWE!!

    Wow! I don't know what old Charlie & Co. did, but the HD PQ on our NBC local (WRC-DT, 1080I) was just great for the Steelers/Dolphins game last night! Looked great on the Sony! Great job, Dish! (I just hope the other Washington, DC HDs always look as good!) --Doug

    Washington, DC HD Locals - HD Lite

    Well, I have had the 622 for several weeks now (still waiting for the 211) and I like the unit and the other HD nationals in the Platinum package - however, the Washington, DC HD locals are a disappointment. The PQ is really "soft" overall and I have noticed that the CBS affiliate, WUSA-DT is...

    CBS-HD Question

    Folks, I need some help. I live in zip 22044 (Falls Church, VA) near Washington, DC. I cannot get locals OTA as I am on the back of a large hill with two tall bank buildings also blocking. I just started with the E* HD package and I was led to think that all I needed was the 61.5 dish for me...
