    What would make the equipment better

    Perhaps in the spirit of the thread, there could be an "enthusiast" device for those of us so obsessed. With enough horsepower and storage space, a Hopper device could record the entire Western or Eastern Arc, just a direct dump of each individual transponder, archived for a reasonable period...

    What would make the equipment better

    Hopper 3 already captures the entire WA/EA into its single SAT-in port. Though they stopped counting at 16, the theoretical number of "tuners" supported is infinity.

    Problems with Hopper 3 is it just me?

    Speaking of YouTube, the YT app on the Hopper 3 seems to periodically just quit working, display a black screen or error message "something went wrong" or just cause the entire box to have no audio output even after exiting YT back to normal operation, reboot being the only solution.

    Downgrading hardware etc questions

    Just to update. I ended up canceling the account. What I may do, is look into getting a Wally or a 211 (k,z) and setup “tailgating” on my account so I’ll have something to use there in addition to when I go camping. Thanks to everyone who commented.

    Downgrading hardware etc questions

    I did not realize that there is now a fee for not having a DVR. Or another way of looking at it is they stealthily increased the price by $7 but DVR fee is actually only $8, not $15. Just canceling the account and using an antenna for locals seems the most logical choice the more I think about it.

Vudu, Movies Anywhere, FandangoNow, BlazeTV, FoxNation, Hallmark, Disney+, basically the streaming app for any service out there that people subscribe to A proper web browser and support for usb attached wired or Bluetooth keyboards and mice Support two of the dual OTA tuners so it...

    Downgrading hardware etc questions

    I believe that’s incorrect, the $7 for the first receiver is included in the base package price, the $15 is a DVR fee. I have the bill down to $60 now which is Flex, DVR and Joey. If I can find a 211 or Wally cheap, I will swap them out and send the Hopper and Joey back. That should drop it to...

    Downgrading hardware etc questions

    Hi guys, it’s been a while. I have a couple questions. I have a Hopper 3 and nothing else in my house. My dad has recently passed away. At his house is a Hopper 3 and a Joey. All equipment in both locations is leased. Question 1. While we are cleaning out and prepping Dad’s house for eventual...

    Updating to Hooper3

    After about a week with a ViP622 the new wore off and it became obvious that Dual Mode was useless unless you only have one HD TV. I ran HDMI cables and we got used to having the same thing on in every room from the single DVR. Later we upgraded to a Hopper 3. With the ViP DVR, or with a Hopper...

    Flex pack is still a great value, are the rules still the same?

    In an ideal world, you could choose from a list of all available channels, and pay whatever Dish pays for each channel you want (plus their reasonable markup/profit margin) thus building an a la carte bundle of whatever channels you like. For me it might be a dozen or so channels. That will...

    WATCH 4K ULTRA HD MOVIES FROM EPIX ON DISH

    I have a 65 inch TV, and during the Olympics, I could definitely tell the difference. During the World Cup, it did not seem nearly as great.

    Channel guide question

    Correct, ecause it is an app, not a TV channel. It accesses youtube.com via the network connection.

    Flex pack is still a great value, are the rules still the same?

    Some of the older posts I found after posting this one indicated Latino and SiriusXM might be different. Just wanted to find someone who has done it recently to tell me if it still works or not. Per usual, I can't find that detail on DISH website.

    Flex pack is still a great value, are the rules still the same?

    I have just switched back to FLEX after a while and saved about $50 on my bill, still a great value depending on which channels you can and can't live without. Question: Are the rules for Flex pack still the same regarding adding and removing add-ons without the dreaded $5 programming change...

    WATCH 4K ULTRA HD MOVIES FROM EPIX ON DISH

    I hit my 1TB cap last month, by somehow using over 400GB the last three days of the billing period. Curiously, our wifi is very secure, nobody was home at the time, and the suspicious activity stopped shortly after the billing period reset. Also, ISPs are crooks, keep an eye on them.

    Switch out 722k for Hopper 3

    heh, that call recording function is native to my phone running Windows 10 which everyone hates for some reason.

    Can I transfer "old" EHD recordings to an H3?

    Any EHD from any previous DishDVR should work. You can transfer to the Hopper or watch directly from the drive, it will appear under "sources" in the DVR list.

    Dish 4K channels on LG TV

    More likely the cable was defective or not "premium certified" which is the terminology for the 18Gbps cables required to pass 4K HDR. The package it came in should have had a hologram on it. See here: https://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/premiumcable/Premium_HDMI_Cable_Certification_Program.aspx

    How To Wire New Home For DISH?

    All of the above recommendations. If I was building new and had freedom to put wire everywhere, that's what I would do. I would even seriously consider running PVC conduit with strings in it from strategic locations to a central distribution point where the home theatre is going to be...

    Winter Olympics: No closing ceremony in 4K?

    Mine shows off air forever, immediately after the Men's Gold Medal hockey game. Eastern arc thing maybe?

    How to watch PyeongChang 2018 Olympics in 4K HDR

    The fact that it looks like crap on non 4KHDR equipment is probably why they hid it behind the error message in the first place.

    1st Gen Remote with 2nd Gen Hopper? (and some griping)

    Those are all we use with the Hopper 3. The original is around here, somewhere.
