    Why are we still without Premier League Extra Time?

    I gave up waiting and switched to DirectTV.

    Are FoxNews and Dish Even Talking?

    I don't assign blame to anyone, but the loss of Fox is the final issue that has me moving to DirecTV. First there were the vague promises that Dish would eventually carry ALL the EPL soccer games that never happened. Then there was the Hopper, whose "hopping" capabilities are being negotiated...

    NBC Sports Network

    I was watching soccer on 159 but the pictures were definitely not hd.

    NBC Sports Network

    I thought it was being broadcast by Dish in HD. I could have sworn I was watching it in HD but it isn't anymore. Am I just confused?

    Auto hop without ptat

    That's right - because Dish doesn't want to prevent you from seeing commercials, just give you the option to skip them (I am sure for legal reasons)

    Updates every night?

    The emphasis on broadband internet seems to assume that internet providers will keep a price structure that allows unlimited downloads. As more and more people access broadband internet, unlimited downloads (at a cheap price) are likely to disappear. You already see this happening with cell...

    Love my Hopper but one question

    You don't need an IR Blaster just to control the Hopper. You can set it to accept IR signals. That is what I do with my Harmony 1100.

    I agree, the FSC+ SD video is also extremely poor. But it is not SD in general. I get my locals in SD and they are much better.

    FSC+ Picture Quality

    Guess I will wait until the EPL starts this year and see how they are. Thanks

    FSC+ Picture Quality

    I just subscribed to Fox Soccer plus. I realize it is only broadcast by Dish in SD, but the video is horrible. Some of games look like they were uploaded to YouTube from a smart phone. Is this typical?

    Hopper Bug - No audio on SD channels

    Nope - have not had the problem at all.

    Where do I check software version?

    I am sureI am overlooking it, but I can't find anything to display the software version on my Hopper? Any help appreciated.:)

    Post Your Dish Hopper Install Experience: Did You Survive?

    Called my local retailer at 11:00 AM to see if I could switch my single VIP 922 for a Hopper. Hopper was installed at 4PM the same day for $100. Seems to work fine although logos and stuff are still downloading.

    Full signal and responsive receiver but no video

    I have a 922 for over a year now and have experienced NONE of these issues. It sounds to me it has something to do with the HDMI interface between the 922 and the Yamaha Receiver.

    Yes - the floppy disk film is what I used as well.

    Dish VIP 922 and Harmony One Problem

    Is your TV an LCD? I know this seems strange - but the LCD TV will flood the room with IR while it is warming up. The Harmony will not work. With my system, I would fiddle with it for 10 or 15 minutes - then it would work (until the next time i turned the TV on.) The solution was to mask the...

    Home media and Hulu

    1. You need to have your 922 connected to your home network. 2. You need a reasonably fast internet connection (not dialup). 3. You need to be running some type of DLNA server on your computer. Check out Playon by doing a google search.

    Auto switching from live tv to watching a recording

    I am a relative newbie, but I believe that the 922 has two tuners, so you can watch one show and tape another simultaneously. However, if you are trying to tape two shows simultaneously, that ties up both tuners so you cannot watch a third channel. I think that explains why your husband has to...

    Premature Ending during Playback

    I had this happen just recently for the first time. The program just stopped and I was back in live TV. I went back to the recording and started it and it picked up where it left off. This happened twice more. Never happened to me before.

    What a retired Judge explained to me...

    Dish is willing to carry it. They are not willing to pay what Fox demands as payment. There is a difference.
