    any word on 4k launch?

    As a new 4K tv owner, I wish Dish's VOD movie rentals would include 4K versions of current new movies. I do appreciate they have any 4K content, but it would be great if we could have current content. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Lightning isn't good for hoppers and joeys.....

    So I had some bad storms come through my area earlier today. One minute I'm watching a Denzel Washington marathon on Encore, I see a bright flash, and next I know my tvs are going wild flickering on and off and everything is dead. The strike was very close to the house It killed most of my...

    X1 to Hopper 3

    I believe you would be happy with the hopper 3 system. It's blazing fast, and has a ton of capabilities. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    X1 to Hopper 3

    Maybe it's because of my wireless connection. I've thought about doing Ethernet to the hopper but it would require some wiring work. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    X1 to Hopper 3

    As do I, but it's not top quality video when it first starts playing. There's always about 30 seconds of 480p video quality. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    X1 to Hopper 3

    I had the X1 system before I had to move now I have dish and the hopper 3 and 4K Joey. The only thing Comcast has better is the way on demand works. Dish's on demand streams the video over the Internet which takes a few minutes to buffer up to top video quality, since Comcast uses their cable...

    On-Demand Freezing and pixelation - DIRT please help

    It's good downloading again fixes it for some, but there's still an issue that needs addressed. It shouldn't be a crap shoot or a roll of a dice if you get to watch content reliably. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    On-Demand Freezing and pixelation - DIRT please help

    I tried that a few times but re downloading 2-2.5 hr movies isn't friendly to data usage, especially when you can't cancel a download without turning the box off. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    On-Demand Freezing and pixelation - DIRT please help

    This ONLY occurs with VOD content. Live tv and recordings are perfectly fine. The issue has to be with dish's systems if it's happening to more than just me. My internet is perfectly fine, my connection is fine. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Hopper 3 on 1080p? Mistified by Dish support call

    Having 16 tuners and just the huge boost in performance is reason enough to get the hopper 3. Just because you don't have a 4K tv now doesn't mean you shouldn't get the H3. Future proof yourself and also eliminate the sluggishness of older hoppers. You'll love the speed. Sent from my iPhone...

    On-Demand Freezing and pixelation - DIRT please help

    Any VOD program I watch/download always has moments of freezing and pixelation. It isn't buffering because the titles are downloaded and playing at full top quality. This occurs on the hopper 3 as well as my joeys. DIRT or any of you guys have any ideas? This has just started a couple weeks ago...

    Bug while watching VOD content on H3 and 4KJ

    If you select Recall and choose any VOD content from the Recall menu it always starts playing from the beginning instead of resuming where you left off on both H3 and 4K Joey. Not sure if this has been previously reported, but I just noticed it over the past couple days. Sent from my iPhone...

    4K Joey power adapter question

    So kind of a nerdy question, but I happen to notice that the tech that installed my 4K Joey just used the power adapter that was already here from the wireless Joey that he removed. On the power adapter it outputs 2.1 amps, but on the back of the 4K Joey it calls for 2.5 amps. Should I worry...

    Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

    Fully behind dish on this. Insane to keep raising fees on something that's being broadcast for free. Is there laws prohibiting dish from providing local channels from another market for the customers in the black out? Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    Hopefully that's the case. Honestly I wish a voice feature was included on the 52.0. I have no interest in using a touch pad, but I really would use the voice function. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    Has there been any information released as to whether the remote will work with joeys or only hopper 3? The 4K Joey specifically has the power to support it, just curious. Sent from my iPhone using SatelliteGuys mobile app

    Finally upgraded to the hopper 3/4k joey /joey 2.0 today.

    Congrats on getting it all setup. Hopper 3 and 4K Joey is the way to go in my opinion if you can. I don't know if it's just me, but coming from the hopper 2 and super Joey, I could notice better picture quality with the hopper 3 and 4K Joey. I imagine it's just better chipsets and better...

    4K Joey Question

    No idea. I'd much rather have Netflix though. Swapping between channels isn't that much of an inconvenience for me honestly. Not having a feature that allows us access to a good bit more content without messing with other devices is a big issue for me. I know it's coming, but it should've be...

    Dish, DirecTV Team to Tackle Set-Top Proposal

    Cable boxes have had a reputation throughout the past of being horrible to use, outdated and laggy crap. That is changing recently with the hopper 3 and 4K Joey. Even the xfinity X1 boxes are a lot better than the old cable boxes. I'm just hoping this proposal will make these providers realize...
