    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    I've been noticing several programs that I record regularly are being marked as "do not record" and I have to go into the guide and update the program status frequently. It must be a glitch in the latest software version causing this to happen, as it's never been a problem before. Now if I...

    New Free Voice Remote

    I received an email from Dish saying that a new voice remote for my receiver was being mailed to me at no charge. I didn't order it, so I was wondering if others are also getting the new remote. Larry

    Hopper 3 misssed recordings

    I've noticed lately that some shows that are supposed to record are marked with a "skip it" logo, the white ball. Like Smokey, I have programs set to record all new shows. I've had to restore the recording of several that were new but marked "skip it". Once restored they record okay, but it's...

    Can H3 cause this issue

    I'm not sure if it's the same situation, but whenever I'm watching something where something has been previous recorded I get a quick break up whenever a recording stops. Say I recorded the show at 10 pm... if I tune into the recording for the 11 o'clock news I see a bit of a break up when the...

    MPEG2 Receivers being swapped to MPEG4 in these DMA's

    No, there's not much 4K yet on cable and none on the broadcast networks, but you can find lots of 4K programming on Netflix and Amazon Prime and many beautiful scenic travel logs in 4K on YouTube. You won't see any 4K on broadcast TV until they turn on ATSC 3.0.

    Local OTA Tuner get $10 off bill each month idea

    The last time I did a scan I came up with a total 0f 124 channels! Many of them come from the same OTA channel -- one of our low power locals offers 16 sub-channels, three of them offer 10, and several have four or five, so they add up fast. Larry San Francisco

    HELP! All my Hopper 3 recordings are inaccessible

    I've been able to watch all recordings since last night. Recordings are loading like normal now. Wonder what caused all of these hang ups?

    HELP! All my Hopper 3 recordings are inaccessible

    Wow! What a surprise to see this discussion here! I first saw the flashing green bars last night when I tried to watch the CBS Evening News. Seeing that a reset seems to fix some problems, I did a red button reset and then it worked okay. Later it started messing up again so I called Dish...

    OTA select duplicate channels

    I wrote: "Stations are going through the process of moving to the channels below 37, but the process won't be complete until the fall of 2010. Stations are divided into 9 phases, and stations in the last phase don't change until the Spring of 2010. Oops... change those 2010's to 2020. :)

    Sony XBR55X900F and Dish Hopper 3

    I have a Sony 65 inch XBR TV connected to my Hopper 3 and all of the pictures look great, from 720P through 1080i and 1080P to 4K. I have had no complaints on the quality in the year that I've owned the TV. Netflix looks great through the Hopper. Larry

    Existing Customer Promotion

    Using the information provided by beardbosen (Thank you!) I called Dish today and signed up for another two years, changing from Flex plus locals to the AT-120 package, which includes locals. I was paying $34.99 plus $12 for locals and now I'm paying $54.99 including locals. I also got a $5...

    Guide Info Incorrect for OTA stations

    In recent weeks I've noticed that the Guide listings for several OTA stations is incorrect. Not only is the programming wrong, but the name of the channel is also wrong. It looks something took the Guide information, shuffled it and put it back in the guide in random order. Has anyone else...

    Improper guide information

    I have a problem with three news programs every day. ABC World News airs here at both 3:30 and 5:30 pm and both are marked "New", so I get it twice. The KGO ABC 7 11 PM news and the KPIX 11 PM news are both repeated at a later hour. All are marked "New", so the Hopper records them both twice...

    Dish Please Change Logos

    I guess I'm one of the old folks that likes lists instead of pictures, but now everything has pictures. Dish is certainly not alone -- Netflix, Hulu and many other services all have pictures, and now my new Sony 4K TV even has all pictures... for everything, even the menu. Aaaarggh! Drives me...

    The program guide for OTA sub-channels has been really messed up for a lot of channels here in the SF Bay Area lately. It's becoming totally useless. Larry

    Upgraded to one Hopper3, Now I need an EHD recommendation.

    When the EHD is connected to your Hopper you will get a choice of the internal hard drive or the external hard drive when you choose "DVR" on your remote. The two drives are listed separately.

    Most SD channels are being broadcast stretched.

    Must be something happening just in your area. At least the stations here in the San Francisco Bay Area are still transmitting the proper aspect ratio. We had a couple that were sending the wrong aspect ratio, but local viewers convinced them to change.
