    At times Joey units won't pause

    At times either of our two Joey 2.0 units will refuse to pause recorded content. When you press pause it will advance a moment or two, then pause then play. Eventually it will pause after a few attempts. We don't recall this happening on the Hopper unit.

    Thinking of returning once again

    I had an appointment yesterday for DIRECTV but LOS issue with the 103 sat - so no go. I know in the past the Eastern Arc dish was pointed to a higher elevation in the horizon - which clears the trees better. Connecticut My biggest questions are: - does E* still have eastern and western...

    Question... Now that you have had your Hopper

    for what it is worth I have had the Hopper and Joey since launch… 1. What are your favorite features on the Hopper/Joey? I’d have to say best features are the capacity and the fact that for 99% of the time the thing just works as a DVR (does’t miss shows, does’t reboot randomly or lockup...

    bad switch, bad LNB, or bad aim?

    It seems since I have a Solo Node - weather isn’t the reason for this… a Dish Tech is coming out today to check it out… I’m getting mid 50’s now for 61.5 and 72, low teens for 77… I am wanting him/her to remove the 3LB horn and replace with a dual 61/72 (unless dish has back-peddled on Eastern...

    bad switch, bad LNB, or bad aim?

    Strange thing happened to my Hopper setup yesterday… it seems that only the 72 sat was picked up… did a check switch and it first failed all sats and settings… went into dish pointer and 61 was getting zero, 72 was in the mis 40’s and 77 was saying it was wrong sat 61.5? I swapped my joey and...

    Sound quality

    I have had the Hopper/Joey since they first came… I just switched back to my local cable company, using a pair of tiro units. I have noticed two things right of the bat, sound quality is greatly improved it sounds more dynamic and DD5.1. In fact I thought my surround speakers were broken since...

    fast-forward issue? or just me

    Curious if other have seen an issue where while fast-forwarding the joey or hopper will “skip” ahead 15-30min of the show while in 4x mode? Even sometimes to the end of the show? Never did this before - I assume its a new feature :-)

    Can someone more logical than me explain this to me. Velocity Channel

    I didn't have E* at that time… but after reading your post I do recall that package… at least the name and channels included were more of a better grouping IMHO. just another issue I have with E*. thanks for the info everyone.

    Can someone more logical than me explain this to me. Velocity Channel

    I realize that part of it - was Discovery HD Theatre not available in the top 200/250 pack and only in the blockbuster bundle? Just seems odd to pack a non movie like offering in BBH. the Epic channels make perfect sense as it ties in. thanks and I know it is what it is.

    Can someone more logical than me explain this to me. Velocity Channel

    On why the the Velocity Channel is only available in the Blockbuster @ Home "package"? I've had the same blurry disc on my counter for the past 4 months… oh well - ok carry on :-)

    Echostar 16 Launch - November 20 2012

    I'm sure this was already asked and answered in the past 40 pages… but maybe it should be sticky of what will this bird do for us? so in short for EA folks will this new sat give a better signal in rain? Provide more local HD?, and or more national HD? I'd be fine with just a better signal BUT….

    Does Dish still offer Free HD for life?

    plus per dish they charge a $180 ETF if you leave during the 2 year contract for FREE HD, plus the normal ETF for the hook up…

    rain fade is killing me!

    I'm about done with DBS - until they get some stronger satellites up… pricing out a pair of TiVos and getting CableVision to pay off my contract with Dish. locals have been out for about an hour - nationals only went out for maybe 5-7 minutes GRRRR

    Is 72 up? (Signal Restored to Eastern Arc)

    same here - and when you call Dish after going through the menu jell, the phone system just dumps you into a dead line that rings busy! nice going? Solar flares maybe?

    Colbert makes fun of Autohop

    He isn't really making fun of Autohop, rather explaining that Autohop might make TV viewing less "fun"… similar to how some people feel an ala-catre tv subscriptions would save them money month after month, I assume that for a short time it would save money but between the cable operators and...

    copyright protection on TNT

    how are you performing the "transfer"? Reason is if dish and tnt had that program flagged, in order to work your DVR would need to be talking to the dvd recorder (which I highly doubt is occurring) — what if you just play the event and record it to the dvd? ow if you have it plugged in to the...

    Apps...

    Any word on if they will add a YouTube app to the Hopper? I do miss that feature from my old D* dvrs. I have other devices that have youtube so not a huge loss, just not as easy for the wife.
