    Are Internet movies downloaded or streamed?

    I have 54mbps through Time Warner. I would think that would be adequate download speeds for VOD. I wish I knew why my downloads always look soft with obvious compression issues. For what it's worth, I'm using a Hopper with Sling connected to my A/V receiver then to my TV. It's certainly not the...

    Are Internet movies downloaded or streamed?

    I assume you are talking about VOD? They are downloaded. Let's say you try to play an on demand movie you had watched earlier. It will start automatically without downloading again. The reason the file doesn't take up as much space is because the quality is poorer than the quality on a...

    Longhorn Game not in HD

    Add me as another who was greatly disappointed that the game was not playing on the HD channel. The only reason I bumped up my service was so I could watch the games, in HD if possible. No point in advertising the channel in HD if you have no plans in using it.

    Hauppauge HD PVR 2 on the hopper

    I use one of these with component out from the HWS. Works like a charm. I have HDMI going out to the A/V receiver at the same time. Edit: Hmm, I just realized you are using an upgraded Hauppauge. My apologies. :)

    hopper update time

    I realize this is an old thread, but this bothers me to no end. I am hoping Dish realizes that people watch TV at all hours and would like to be able to download updates at their convenience. Dish, please make this happen! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Dish Remote Access Programming Guide Filter

    I also am interested in this. I wish there was a more intuitive way to channel surf throughout the week and throughout the channel line up.

    Will Dish offer promo's to existing customers?

    Not to hijack his thread or anything, but will Dish offer new DVRs for signing a new 2 year agreement or is that strictly to new customers? Are there any discounts for getting a new DVR?

    Maybe because they are possibly getting kickbacks from said channel?

    L618 Software Bug Thread

    I don't want to sound like Chicken Little, but my DVR just died a day or two ago. It had the same symptoms as yours and also had software L618. Audio drop outs and receiver freezing up on recorded files. Eventually the HD died and I had to call Dish. I got a new one but they said my external...

    Bill went up after adding free hbo/startz

    My bill also went up. My cinemax for a penny is up in April, so I told them to get rid of that, starz/hbo, and platinum HD. Bastards!

    HD Hog Heaven!

    Like Adam, I am still upset with the Voom situation. But overall I'm glad I made the switch to Dish. I recently bought a 750gb external hard drive so now I have more room for my HD movies and TV shows. Price is not too bad either.

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Talk about a kick in the junk. I only went with Dish to get the Voom network, specifically Monsters HD. And then a few months later they got turned off. I seriously doubt Voom comes back but I would still like to know what exactly happened between the two companies.

    Dear Dish, please support larger hard drives

    I could see not wanting to lose all of your saved movies/tv shows. My problem is lack of space. If I only have room for one EHD, then I need to get the biggest one. If Dish allows HDs with a higher space cap then everyone will be happy.
