    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    The Hopper still seems slow to respond to the remote commands. Whis Dish could speed up the respond time. ?Ghpr13:(

    Dish Police back in action.

    This is all just part of Dish trying to be our "Low cost satellite provider." :D Ghpr13:)

    NEW DISH Pricing as of May 23, 2013

    I might still cut BB@H. What movies channels would I loose if I canceled BB@H? Also, if I upgraded to the new Hopper 2000(?) from my original Hopper, would that extend my contract for another 2 years? Ghpr13

    Fees increasing?

    Of course, as Internet video becomes the norm, and TV's & set top boxes develop to take advantage of it, "they" will find a way to start charging more and more for it. And I think the charges will come faster and steeper than Satellite or cable because we have much more technology today then we...

    Fees increasing?

    I don't think you can really compare what cost were 10-15 years ago vs now. Everything from a loaf of bread to a package of Kool-Aid has increased in price from 10-15 years ago. What the problem is Dish hit us with a price increase in February, and now 2 months later, is hitting us with another...

    Fees increasing?

    I was looking at the programing today, seeing where I could cut. Of course, my wife is determine to have Bravo, which we have in the AT200, but dropping down to the next package only saves me $10.00. Dropping the PP saves me $7.00. Which with the new fees of $14.00 would be a savings of a...

    Fees increasing?

    Has anyone answer this question? I'm interested to know myself how this would work. I like to drop my PP also. Ghpr13

    Fees increasing?

    This is a little different by the end results are exactly what you are talking about: When I was running a 7-Eleven in Northwest Chicago, We determined that we could sell Big Gulps at 50 cents a cup, instead of the 89 cents they normally go for, and make almost twice the profit. People love a...

    Fees increasing?

    Well like others here, the main thing I'm looking at is my monthly cost. With everything else going up in price, specially food, paying for TV is becoming a pure luxury that is overpriced. It taking up a big chunk of my monthly budget. Also, IMO, even though the Hopper has the potential for...

    S 238?

    I've been having a strange problem that started with the SW update before the 238. When watching a program live that I had on hold for a couple of minutes, if I FF to get back to the "live" point, I lose all audio. Now if I skip backward, just a little bit, I have sound again, but as soon as the...

    More Problems With My Hopper

    I need to pay closer attention to what network and the time, but I think you might be correct. If that's when it is happening, I'll try your swap ideal. Thanks, Ghpr13:)

    More Problems With My Hopper

    One thing I still don't understand, is when I'm watching a program live, and that "info" box pops up asking if I want to allow the schedule recording, "Yes" or "No"...I click on yes, and then when the recording starts, the Hopper changes to the channel of the recording, interrupting the program...

    More Problems With My Hopper

    So the this mean those "extra" tuners are only for PTAT? Because I never have PTAT on. Ghpr13:confused:

    More Problems With My Hopper

    I sure hope so. My Hopper was working great before SW S234. It makes you wonder if Dish used us to let them know S234 all the bugs in it rather then lab test it. Ghpr13:(

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    I have to admit, I use to swear up and down that this "streaming downloading stuff" would never catch on. I thought we been brought up to want to own all we can, including our favorite movies and TV shows. We would want a hard copy to touch and look at, even if we only play it once a year! But I...

    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    1) HD on multiple turners, Great connection to second TV, and, when it works right, I like the delete feature. 2) Software update S234...introduce a lot of "bugs", problems, and slowed down the speed of the Hopper when pulling up new screens. 3)I had one of the first Hoppers out, and around the...

    More Problems With My Hopper

    I have one Hopper and one Joey. My software is S234. I'm having a number of problems with my Hopper as of the last few weeks. One is the "05 Error," which I posted about in the "05 error thread." The other problems are not major, but damn annoying. Every so often, when I delete a program from...

    Error 05

    I've been having this happen for a while. I notice that it mostly happens to me when I have set a recording on (let say CBS), for 7:59 to 9:02, then I have another recording set on CBS 8:59 to 10:02. The second recording gets me that 05 error, and stops recording the program, but it shows that...

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    My bill did increase by $5.00. which brings me over the $100.00 mark, with taxes. Right now I still am getting the $10.00 credit/month for the AMC fiasco, but when those end I'll have to take a real look at cutting something out. Probably BB@home. Ghpr13:(

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    Yeah, remember back when only the big 3 (at that time, before Fox local) had commercials? Now not only do cable networks have commercials, but we get to see commercials for other networks on the network we're watching! It's more commercials promos, than program. So much for "Pay TV". Ghpr13:(

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    I did get my letter, but Dish had my buddy's name on it 'cause he's the one that "secured" their equipment with his credit card (I only have a debit card.) I had just set it aside thinking it was just advertisement. Of course, like others here, I found the "free" offers rather useless, IMO...
