Last month we had a new roof installed. We had the satellite dish re-attached by Dish. Since then, I have noticed the picture breaking up on occasion, similar to when the weather is inclement, but not as bad. I'm assuming the dish was not quite properly aligned. Is there some test I should...

Is anyone having issues with recording ballgames on an RSN? For the past few months, on occasion, when we record a baseball game, or a basketball game (a few weeks ago), the recording stops somewhere in the middle. A baseball game will usually record for 4 hours, but when we are watching, it...

Ugh! Tell me about it. I'm in Milwaukee and I used to see my Bears 12 games a year. The last few years, not so much. This is just adding insult to injury. :)

Now I can't accidentally record the SD channel instead of HD. :clapping

Thanks for all the responses. When we were at Costco, the Directv rep did tell me that the service was set for the local zip code, which is about 15 miles further from Chicago than I am. And he also showed me that the channel we were watching was CSN-Chicago. If he got the game through NBA...

I did, and it wasn't on.

I've got a question on this subject. I live in southern Milwaukee County and I get CSN-Chicago. I am able to see the Blackhawks, Sox, and Cubs, but the Bulls games are not available to me. Does the NBA have different rules? Also, we went to check out a new Costco last night, in a different...

As long as this thread is already started, I'll jump in here. I currently have one hopper and two joeys and am considering getting a sling adapter. There are a few things I'm not sure about. Does anyone know if the price is still around $50.00? Does a tuner have to be free in order for...

That's good news, but mine are all gone. I was sure someone pulled the plug. I just dropped down to 200 from 250. Could Dish have screwed something up when they made the change?

Okay, has anyone else lost the ESPN channels in high def, right in the middle of the games?

I get a beautiful picture with OTA. I used the term lousy because every time I tune to an OTA channel, there is pixilation for the first few seconds, and also at several times throughout the program. I've been tuned to OTA for football today, and it has happened several times throughout the...

I hate the lousy picture I get with OTA on the Hopper. I never had any pixilation on the 722, the picture was perfect. Also, it's annoying when one of my EHDs does not show up in the list, which happens quite often. Then I have to unplug it and plug it back in again. I shouldn't have to do that.

And you're from Texas! ;)

Does anyone know which of the Fox channels will carry the new Big East basketball games? I thought I read it a while back, but can't remember which channel.

Just got back home after several hours out, and lo and behold, the entire game recorded. The game was shown because there never should have been a blackout to begin with. The guide was wrong, but heaven forbid anyone at Dish would admit that. They just give the MLB blackout excuse without...

I live in southern Milwaukee county and see all of the White Sox games on WGN. They are playing today at 6:00 Central and the game is on WGN, but according to my guide, the game is blacked out. The Fox game is on right now, so that can't be the reason for the blackout. Of course, there are no...

At the times that I have this problem, nothing is recording on either of the tuners, and the screen doesn't say that anything is recording. A reboot solves the problem, but of course it messes up whatever is currently recording on PTAT. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that...

Thank you :)

I thought I put this in the Hopper Zone, and I don't know how to move it. My apologies.

I don't know if I'm missing something, or if my Hopper is acting weird. This evening I was recording PTAT, and PBS via OTA from 8-9. I should have had 2 free tuners, but when I tried to watch ESPN, it kept going to the TV Viewing Status screen. The screen was showing that the two tuners that...

Thanks, Matt, I think. ;)

This is not good timing. I waited on the hopper for OTA, and am finally upgrading this Saturday, and now I won't have OTA. Any word on when they might be back in stock? Is there a chance my installer would have one on his truck? If I can't have OTA in time for Downton Abbey a month from now...

Rob, I'm near Milwaukee but I get CSN Chicago. It is not in HD 24/7, so if you watch Sportsnet Central, or Bears Postgame, they will not be in HD. However, almost all of the games are HD. The only time the Sox (and I assume Cubs) are not in HD is early in the season, when the Hawks or Bulls...

Christmas came early! I can finally get a hopper. I have a question, though. When I do upgrade to the hopper, is this device something the installer would bring along and hook up for me at the time, or would I have to order it and install it myself?

I've thought of yet another question re PTAT. If I save a show that normally goes over the allotted time by a minute or so (for example, the Thursday night comedies on NBC), will the ending of that show disappear with the following show that gets deleted after eight days, or will I get to see...
