    Can't turn off H3 receiver with remote anymore

    Good info, thanks. Maybe there's a clue here about how fast the batteries seemed to die after I did the re-pairing. I'll see if I can get a new remote and take it from there.

    Can't turn off H3 receiver with remote anymore

    Returning customer, need advice

    Thinking about coming back to Dish after about 3 years being away. I previously had a Hopper w/Sling + 1 Joey which were stupid slow and lagging. 1- Is the Hopper 3 significantly faster? 2- I'd like to have separate DVRs, one in each room (the key to a blissful marriage). I read that this is...

    Contract up, want to get Hopper 3

    Thanks everyone. Great suggestions. Now to try executing each of them until I'm successful. God, I hate this game I play every two years. Last time I did this it was a go-round with Directv.
