    Hopper/Joey questions

    I agree. That us why I am giving Direct untill 9/15 to get it resolved. I think that is fair enough. I live 50 miles from the Cleveland stations, so OTA is not an option. I am not going to pay the money that I am to not get the new fall season and Football. I stuck with them thru the Viacom...

    Hopper/Joey questions

    Won't I have to pay a large upfront cost for a second hopper? Super Joey doesn't have any upfront cost for new customers.

    Hopper/Joey questions

    I currently have my Direct HD dish on a pole. 4 cables run from it to the swim on the side of the house (about 40 feet of buried cable). If LOS is OK will the pole and cables be useable for the dish install? Cable was put in last fall.

    Hopper/Joey questions

    Hi, thinking about switching from Direct to Dish as a result of the Raycom dispute. I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone here could answer for me. 1) how responsive are the DVR controls on the Joey compared to the hopper? I know with Direct DVR controls are very laggy when remote...

    DISH announces FREE iPad Promotion

    I wonder if you can still use non programming incentives, like the $100 visa gift card offer that VISA has. Will they still offer the $10 off for 12 months for signing up online? Should be interesting to see on May 22nd

    discount on sports pack

    What I don't understand is why they don't just open up FS Cinn in the Cleveland market. Other than Reds games it mirrors FS OH. They could just black out the Reds games up here but still give us access to the rest of the channels programming.

    discount on sports pack

    Thinking about moving back to Dish from DirecTv after being gone for 3 years. I am in the Cleveland OH DMA and have had an issue getting all of the Columbus Blue Jackets games due to the way Fox Sports Ohio handles Blue Jackets and Cavs games. If only one team is playing then they are on both...

    Installing Joeys using Cat 5 instead of Coax

    If Joeys can connect to the Hopper via Coax or Cat 5, why do installers run Coax instead of Cat 5. Wouldn't Cat 5 be easier and cheaper? Can the Joey's connect to the Hoppers via WiFi on your home network? Thanks.

    Another OTA module question

    Can you order one when you order new service, and have the installer show up with it when he brings the hopper and Joeys? Or do you have to order it yourself? Cabeling is all there already, just need the tuner.

    Benefit of connecting Hopper to internet via Ethernet instead of WiFi

    I am gonna have a Joey installed in my office, which is where the modem and router are. How likely would the installer be to put a HIC in the office, as opposed to just connecting the Hopper via WiFi. I'm sure the HIC will be more costly for the installer.

    can an EA dish be mounted on a pole that currently has a DirecTv slimline on it?

    2 cables glued together are running from the dish to a ground block on the side of my house. Only one of the cables actually has ends on it.

    can an EA dish be mounted on a pole that currently has a DirecTv slimline on it?

    Nice open view. I have the DirecTv dish on a pole about 30 away from the hose so that it is clear of any trees blocking the southern sky. Both to the SE and SW.

    can an EA dish be mounted on a pole that currently has a DirecTv slimline on it?

    So if I switch providers the installer will need to put a new pole in the ground? Can't use the pole that the DirecTv dish is on?

    Can you hook 2 up and record 7 programs at the same time, or can it only handle 1 OTA tuner?
