    HWS updated to U242

    I got U241 back on 12/13. Now for U242 to come out so fast says something was wrong with U241.. I can’t remember the last update that presented you with a screen saying you got an update when you turned on your TV....[emoji57]

    Harmony Elite/HWS How do you add skip fwd/bk functions

    Thanks for your replies! I tried the long hold and sure enough I get the 30 second skip but I think I'm going to change the action of the button like patmurphey did. I also use the skip more then a long fast FF/REW.

    Harmony Elite/HWS How do you add skip fwd/bk functions

    Purchased new Harmony Elite/Hub to replace my still working Harmony One(I know dumb..) The buttons on the Elite work for fast forwarding and back but the skip buttons that are on the DISH remote and also as buttons on my One remote are not available on the Elite. So how have folks set this up...

    New date for forced CUI

    Yup got the same email for the 29th except I downloaded the CUI back in January. Can't wait to see if DISH screws my whole system. Maybe I should paint my front door with blood to ensure the DISH mist passes me by....

    Dish Hopper 4???

    What about a function like TIVO advertises, their version of skip the commercials? I always thought PTAT was a joke. First it was 24hrs... then ..72... and on and on. TIVO can skip commercials with a button of a push. And they advertise some ~20 channels that they support with it not just...

    Don't raise your rates, raise my fees!

    A few weeks back prior to DISH and Hearst media settling their differences I got a survey from DISH asking how well they are doing. They got a 3. I checked the box to not contact me. They did anyway... 2 year price lock and $15 off monthly charges. Just sign a two year agreement.. Well I...

    DISH Yelling TV Commercial

    The whole DISH Spokes Person Listener is nauseating. I see the Screamer one and the chubby chic in the shower one almost to the point I could just throw up. If I had my way a crashing satellite would slam into him as he drives off in that 66 Chevelle convertible. Wait... why ruin a classic...

    Hearst Television Inc. blacks out DISH customers in 26 markets

    So Friday it will be 7 weeks.... No one's budging? Since lots of folks here are saying its up to Hearst to make the first move to resolve this I wondered this: In the 26 markets that are effected just how many DISH sub's are we talking about compared to cable co's and DirecTV? If it isn't...

    Guide Options – Favorite Channels list will not scroll

    When I upgraded to the CUI I ran into this. I had set up to scroll down from top to bottom to go up in channels. My bottom channel on the first screen was an expandable Sirius list..... The only way around it was to have scrolling up from the bottom to advance channels. I didn't report it...

    DISH confronts low customer satisfaction culture

    Great list Pepper. To bad no one at Dish is really listening... The only thing Dish will listen for is if they don't hear enough ca-ching.. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    DISH confronts low customer satisfaction culture

    I respond to My Dish Voice surveys that come out multiple times a year. The last one was about the subject matter and previewed a commercial that was to come out shortly. The multiple questions about listening to customers just made me laugh. I gave them bottom ratings when asked if what I...

    Hopper 2 U229 Feb 2

    On my HWS when I updated to the CUI my line channel count defaulted to 8. I am using the Modern theme. Would love to get back 3 hours too but we are not going to win that case anytime soon. Under Setting/Guide is where you can make changes that might help you out.

    Update to CUI using Channel 9607 Method

    So I took a chance..... It works! Total time about 25 minutes! Pics included! thomasjk, when you tried it did it just turn off the Hopper(put in standby mode, no light) or did it simply do nothing? Here is what happened to my setup a HWS. Clicked Yes to continue as seen in pic 2 of my...

    Update to CUI using Channel 9607 Method

    Over at dbstalk I saw a thread about ch 9607 where the OP stated that for his HWS he got u224 after initiating the download and the following morning he got u226. So maybe the method its broke or not. YMMV.
