    Ethernet to Hopper: Weaker Than WiFi !??

    You can set static ips in your router if your router supports that feature. I installed and setup the router myself. I set an ip for each hopper and joey for their mac addresses. Once they try to connect to the network, they get the address you assigned to them. Some of my devices like my...

    Ethernet to Hopper: Weaker Than WiFi !??

    I don't know why Dish doesn't tell people to set static IPs for the hopper and joey. Better yet, make IP assignable in the hopper and joey itself, then the installer could do it. I just upgraded from a 622 and two 211ks to two hoppers and a joey. The hoppers were wreaking havoc on my network...

    Hopper Fees

    Thanks Scherrman, $10 extra from current. I'm due for an upgrade, can't believe the 622 is still working, it was one of the earliest made.

    EX Hard Drive dying on 211k ?

    Almost 2 yrs ago, the 211k's would reboot for no apparent reason, mine was always tuned to specific OTA channels, but that problem was fixed. Now it will reboot while recording, sat or ota, creating 4 or 5 files for a one hr show, not every show, but the frequency seems to be accelerating...

    I'm making the move from a VIP 211 to a DVR

    Now that I'm on the EA, I can't get over how much junk I can stuff into a 750 Gb WD. At first I was just putting movies on it, now I record shows to watch later. MP4 has turned it into a bottomless pit. I bought my wife 211k and a 1TB for the bedroom and she'll never fill that up.

    It's 5:50 pm in Louisville, KY and Dish is down

    Now that we're on the eastern arc, I seem to lose the 72 sat more than the other 2. Storms are another issue as it doesn't seem to stop raining for more than 18 hrs or so for the last month.

    Which WD EHD is better?

    I've been using a factory reurbed 750 GB Essentials on a 211k for over a year now without any issues. Got it off Ebay. WDU is the start to refurb model #s.

    The calc also assumes you are a new customer. Existing customers get charged $20 for HD and Platinum.

    What is the point of dual tuner boxes now?

    Got the NEW BILL with NEW PRICE!

    How did you capture that screen ? My HD selection won't expand like yours. I'm thinking about dumbing down my programming for a few weeks until they figure it out. My bill for mid Feb to mid March had 5 premiums for $50. My main bill bill was Silver, with 1 premium being an upgrade to Gold...

    Got the NEW BILL with NEW PRICE!

    Can anyone confirm this for me, please ? I have a leased dvr as my primary receiver. I am now being charged a lease fee. I am getting a $10 credit because Dish over charged me for platinum hd for 6 months, but they're still charging me $20 for hd. If I post a copy of the bill, would...

    Dish IR to UHF Pro

    Thanks Claude. I didn't know that product was available until it was pinned up front and I did try to search your site. It's Dish specific, but a nice product. I've got a next gen coming but will return it. Wife told me to buy an extra, so there you go. I think I bought a 4700 from you...

    Dish IR to UHF Pro

    The add pinned to the front page shows a converter kit. Does anyone know if these are addressable ? I would like to get two of them and don't want interference.

    222 DVR Conversion

    You have to pay dish a one time enabling fee for the EHD to work, 39.95. Call them and tell you want the EHD enabled as DVR, not archive. Those are two different things. The archive function if for the 622, 722, etc. If they don't seem to understand, ask for tech support.

    Have OTA - only SD Sat locals

    I just realized the same thing a few weeks ago. I called Dish and asked why I didn't get them, and they told me I needed to be on the Eastern Arc. They sent HPTS out and installed a Dish 1000.4 for free. Comes with 3 feeds capable of 2 tuners per. Now I can watch one local and record another...
