That's odd, I didn't create any referral links when I wrote this. I did however edit the write-up in Evernote before copy and pasting over to the forum editor so I wonder if the copy/past would have somehow created referral links for certain words.

Yes, *TV is my version of shorthand for DirecTV. Sorry I wasn't clear. I'll modify the post to make that reference at the beginning.

Hello Everyone, Thought I'd share my families experience switching from DirecTV (*TV) to Dish over a year ago to help others considering the same thing. Naturally these are my opinions based solely on my family’s experience. I respect those with differing opinions and encourage anyone...

I hope you're wrong. I too like the OP am a former D*TV customer who used this capability all the time. I still find it annoying that Dish hasn't implemented this feature on the Hopper. I also disagree with the notion that in order to do this they'd need to create a new button such as resume...

My order for service went through Dish and the installer was a local third party contractor. Which I believe is pretty typical for Dish.

Hello, I'm a new Dish customer with a 2H/1J setup. All my Hoppers have the new software load version S221. Hopper #1 (H1) is connected to the internet via usb wifi, has a Sling adapter installed with bridging enabled. H2 does not have a sling adapter, wifi or sling adapter. The Joey is linked...

When I called Dish to order my 2H/1J system the rep I first spoke to said this config wasn't possible. I explained my reasons for needing 6 tuners instead of 3 and he said he'd check with his supervisor. After checking he came back and said it was possible but he'd have to loop in a rep from...

Dude, your TV addiction has been cured because "of the Hopper and it's lack of organization" and the examples listed are the folder limitations and that you can't delete multiple episodes at once. Really? I mean I was expecting your list to include that the hopper constantly crashes, doesn't...

Hi Scott, I'm also interested in this and as requested will list a few reasons why I should be considered. (1) I'm an avid sports fan, user and consumer of digital video and data content both in broadcast and online formats; (2) I follow instructions, am generally curious how things work...

Thanks for the post. I agree it's nice to hear the good stories as well. It's so hard to tell how widespread the Hopper issues really are. My install is scheduled for next Tuesday and I've been on the verge of canceling several times after reading posts about daily lock-ups, freezes, missed...

JM42 - Very helpful explanation. I assumed it might have something to do with licensing, but hadn't thought about the down conversion/encoding of the signal. Pepper - What else can you sling beyond what's already on the Hopper?

With high speed internet connectivity built into DVR's like the Hopper, won't the need for a Sling adapter eventually be a thing of the past? Said differently, with their TV Everywhere technology won't Dish have the capability (although perhaps not fully enabled yet) to broadcast any content...

For those of you with a 2H/1J setup, is the Joey able to see and playback recorded content from both Hoppers? Also, do both Hoppers need their own internet connectivity or can only 1 of the 2 Hoppers connect to the internet and it will automatically provide connectivity to the other Hopper and...

Thanks everyone for the responses and for clarifying how the pricing works. Very helpful.

I'm a long time DirecTV customer intrigued by the new Hopper system Dish has been advertising, so a few days ago I decide to take the plunge and leave DirecTV for Dish. Now this was a monumental decision for my family for several reasons: 1) Dish doesn't carry some Disney owned channels...

So how much are you folks paying for the 2nd Hopper?
