    Pixelation at top and bottom of the hour.

    This was ONE of the problems I complained to Dish regarding my Hopper and Joey. After a month and a half, I got fed up and returned to Dtv.

    Dish and HD signals on 129

    Thank you for the info. Had my sixth tech come out Saturday (was promised a tech supervisor, no such luck). Asked hm to check the dish and he would not do so claiming the signals for 129 were within DISH specs. He eye balled the wiring and claimed there was nothing wrong. I asked him why...

    Dish and HD signals on 129

    What would cause audio drop outs and minor pixelation on the 129 sat? Always happens when I first turn on Joey or Hopper in the morning and later during the day it goes away. It happens during clear skies or overcast skies. The readings on 129 are 17=46 18=46 19=44 20=45 21=56 22=45 23=45...

    So, I am guessing that you cannot transfer files from the old Hopper to the new Hopper or to a external HD?

    Hopper replacement and recordings

    If the installer has to replace a Hopper, is there any way to transfer the existing recordings to the new Hopper or to an external drive? If it can be transferred to an external drive, does it have to be fat32 or ntfs and will the existing files on the drive be erased by the old Hopper when...

    Is this normal after firmware upgrade?

    Dish and Hopper Advertising

    The latest TV ad for the Hopper says the Hopper can record six programs at once. With three tuners how is this possible? If I record two programs and watch live tv, that's as far as I get. What am I doing wrong? Chatted with two CSRs on live chat and they confirmed the same thing. Once...

    Adding second dish for 129

    Currently have H/J with single node installed. Would like to add a Dish 500 with legacy lnb for 129 for better signal strength during rain. I would leave current installed dish for 110 and 119 alone. What switch would I need to connect the two dishes before the node? Thanks

    I have till first week in August to make up my mind, so I shopped on line and also called a local dealer that was listed on Dish's website. The on line CSR gave me all sorts of freebies as a new customer whereas the local never mentioned the freebies. Locally I will pay sales tax of roughly...

    What do I need?

    I posted a similar request in the Hopper Zone a few days ago, but got no response. What do I need to order to replace my H24 + Hr24 + whole home both hooked up to HD? I called the 800 number and they are offering the world. Just want to be sure I get the right equipment that will do roughly...
