    Bonus view classics fast channels new on the hopper 3

    I just checked out these 15 new channels. It looks like these will not be watched by me. I have the TOP 200 Dish package that is listed as having 240 channels. From that package I only watch about 10 channels and DVR about 99.8% of what I watch. So now I can add these 15 channels to the 230...

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    My Paramount Plus has way better picture quality then Dish. I had read that with Dish, the satellite feed to the DVR and live TV is somehow degraded a bit in a conversion process. Paramount Plus, You Tube TV, and HULU give you a true digital signal picture,thus a better picture.

    18 years and I may cut the cord!

    You Tube TV does not have the Science Channel or the History Channel. Not having those 2 channels, I will not be switching to You Tube TV from Dish.

    Zip Code Setting

    When I had the VIP722k and I went to the settings for the satellite to "Point Dish" to see the signal strength of the satellites, you could input your Zip Code. I am not sure why this is done except maybe to find the correct timezone to load the proper TV guide for your viewing area. I have had...

    Life after Dish? Not for my archived recordings?

    Remember, if you put your account on pause and you still have any time left on your 2 year contract, that contract will be extended for each month you are on pause.

    Hopper Upgrades

    I was on the online chat the other day. I chatted with a CSR because I was looking for the upgrade to the Hopper with Sling. I had a VIP722k not the old Hopper like you. I told her I was ready to cancel because I was out of contract and would switch to Comcast. She turned me over to someone...

    Early Termination Fee - No Line of Sight after Moving

    From what I have been told from someone in the Dish Loyalty Department, putting the account on Dish Pause will cost $5.00 a month. Time spent on pause does not count towards the commitment. That is the only down side. To buy out the remaining time on the contract it is $10 for every month you...

    NEW DISH Pricing as of May 23, 2013

    So are you saying that buying the Hopper equipment along with a Joey and switches there is no required 2 year contract? I understand the you will still have to pay the monthly DVR service fees. Is that correct? And you can still get the $7.00 a month service plan if needed. Is that correct?

    Moving, can Hopper DVR recordings be viewed while Dish not connected?

    I have done this with the 722k. I would assume it would work on the Hopper. Why not give it a try.

    If Dish charges $1.99 per network, how much would your programming cost?

    Well, I am almost paying that now. There are about 17 channels in my America's 120 package and then the 4 local channels that I regularly record or watch live. So for me, 21 channels X your $1.99 per a la cart channel price = $41.79. America's 120 package is $49.00. So for me I am paying to much...

    NEW DISH Pricing as of May 23, 2013

    I don't know about the price increase, but in this months bill, I received a Dish Coupon that is giving the Multi-Sport Pack at half price for 6 months. You need to have at least the 120+ package and it has to be started before 05/21/2013. This the the telephone number on the coupon...

    NEW DISH Pricing as of May 23, 2013

    I would hope that the Grandfather status would at least remain until the 2 year contract expires.

    Reliability of the Hopper

    Right now I do not have anything on the EHD so there is no issue at the moment. If I do upgrade I will transfer any recorded program from the 722k to the EHD.

    Reliability of the Hopper

    I have been reading on this Hopper forum for about six weeks now. I have been thinking about upgrading my 722K to 1 Hopper with Sling and one Joey. I have been reading a lot of negatives about the problems that users are having with the Hopper, which seems to be mostly with the software. With...

    Finally Upgraded to Dish America

    You will lose the Music channels, TV land, Reelz, and FX with the Dish America Plan over the Dish AT120. There are a few others you will lose, but to me I don't care about them because I don't watch them. I would miss the three channels I mentioned previously. As for the music, I only listen to...

    Dish 2 Year Contract

    Sorry for the bit of confusion. I meant the whole package for the Hopper upgrade would cost an extra $14.00. The programing would stay the same. I knew the programing would not be affected. They already raised the price a few months ago.

    Dish 2 Year Contract

    I had looked to going to Comcast. They have a better channel package then Dish for less money, but their new X1 Xnfinity DVR sounds kind of pathetic. I went to my local Comcast store and found out that you can not pause live TV on the second TV. You also can not delete or add programs from the...

    Hopper vs Hopper w/Sling Question

    Keep in mind that to get the Hopper with Sling, it is an extra up front $100.00 fee. The regular older Hopper should not cost you anything extra.

    Dish 2 Year Contract

    Yes, I knew about the price increase. I looks like it will increase my Americas 120 package $14.00 extra a month. I also found out to get the Hopper with Sling, it is an extra up front $100.00 fee. Not a real dealer killer but I will probably wait until the increase is official before making a...

    Dish 2 Year Contract

    I don't know if this is been discussed before, but if I'm a long time dish customer who is no longer under contract, and wants to upgrade to the new Hopper/Joey system, I now have to commit to a new two-year contract. So to me, adding a new contract should mean that I am a new customer, and...

    I live near Colorado Springs, Colorado. I have a Dish 722k with and OTA tuner. When I go in to the Guide Menu for Create TV, which is a PBS station, the guide does not show what is to be televised. All it says is "Digital Service". I don't no why this happens. I get four other PBS stations in...
