The deck on my apartment is being replaced this summer and the management doesn't want my dish bolted into the new railing like it is now. The railing is framed 2x4s with siding. This makes short tripods difficult and mounts that hook to railings impossible. The person at the management office...

For two years I had no pay TV, I watched my Broncos games over antenna. But, no I would just stop watching. I watch a lot of shows on a lot of channels, but I refuse to pay extra for exclusive sports programming. If they can't run their league on all the money they get from tickets, concessions...

I used to watch the Rockies all summer long on my local independent station. Then, they moved to a different independent channel, then a RSN. Now, I have to pay extra to see the games. Now, I don't watch the games. I gave up on nearly all sports years ago because the price to be a fan is too...

I've noticed this a couple of times, also. I have a 500GB WD My Book that was on my 722. On my Hopper it gets dropped every couple of days. I haven't looked into it much, but I figured it may be a result of the software updates I keep getting.

If you have S222 you have the current consumer release. A few weeks ago I got S223. A while later it went back to S222. A few days later it was S224. Last week I got S225. As far as I know they are still bug fixing, but I haven't run across any in S225.

When I got home from work on Sunday I was going to use my BT to listen to shows on my Hopper but the BT menu item only said "Comming Soon". I checked my software version and it was back to S222. Yesterday, when I got home from work my wife said that we had another update. I checked and it was...

I have identified a bug in the new software that I've reported to Dish. If live TV is paused and you try to change channels in the guide or watch a DVR recording it will reboot.

There are a many available for around $50. The two I have were both around that price. They are both in-ear stereo headphones. The Sony Ericsson MW600 is basically a 'AA' battery sized unit with a oled screen and a clip. It has a headphone plug so that you can plug in any headset. The LG...

I was surprised with the update Saturday morning. The screen that gave a brief rundown of the new features was nice. Better than just stumbling across them. The soft delete is great, I missed it from my old TiVo. There is also a tile for this at the bottom of the DVR content list. There is...

I was considering putting a surplus USB hub I have behind my Hopper becasue I have an EHD, Wi-Fi adapter, and a Sling Adapter. I'm going to give it a try to night to eliminate the EHD plug sticking out of the front of my Hopper.

These disputes always make me scratch my head at how attached people are to their shows. If you're willing to change your service provider over this, what are you going to do in six months when that new provider has a similar dispute? ALL "cable" and satellite providers have to go through the...

I did like the "Browse" function when I had Dish way back when. It was cool to be able to keep watching your show while you browse the guide without blocking the whole screen.

I am looking forward to the massive hard drive in the VIP722. I got by for 2 years with a 35 hour Phillips DirecTiVo box. I upgraded it to a 70 hour box just a few months before the second satellite tuner went belly up. I've really liked having two 80GB TiVos for the last few months, but...

I am currently have a pair of Series 2 80 hour TiVo boxes so I can't use them with an OTA signal. I got to try it out at the local electronics store and my wife and I were impressed. It seems to do all the core things that we would like it to do. The way it handles live TV is a bit annoying but...

Thanks everyone for the great information. That really clears up those issues. I think I'm going to be ordering this weekend. Anyone want a pair of 6-month-old Series 2 TiVo boxes? ;)

Thanks for bringing up this point. I am looking at getting a VIP722 and I was wondering about this. I know that on Monday Nights we had a problem with How I Met Your Mother and Big Bang Theory being against Chuck and something else. The only way we could resolve it on our TiVo setup was to move...

A little background: I had Dish back in 2002-2003 but switched because they didn't have any deals on their new DVR and DirecTV had a deal on their TiVo receiver. Last year my TiVo died and I couldn't get a new one since DirecTV ditched TiVo. So, I went with a pair of TiVos and Comcrap cable...

I had Dish 5-6 years ago and the only problems I had with weather were related to snow build up on a dish mounted 15 feet off the ground on the peak of my roof. That was one thing I liked better about DirecTV, they mounted the dish 5 feet off the ground on the side of my house, under the eaves...
