    VIDEO - Hopper .vs Genie

    I was a DISH customer with SD only, but when I tried to upgrade to the Hopper, I needed new cabling to 3 GHz to the Hopper and have the dish mounted on the house to point to the satellites needed. With the DirectTV, no new wiring needed and the satellite could be placed in the same location...

    What to do with old receivers/satellite dish

    I have canceled my Dish service, but own a 510 receiver, two 311 receivers, and a 500 Dish. Any suggestions on what to do with them? Can I trash them? Should I send in the smart cards? I would give them away if someone wanted them. Thanks,

    Had to Switch

    I have been a E* customer for years (a 510 DVR receiver and two 311's) and I had all the intentions of remaining one. However, when I went to upgrade the Hopper, I was told I needed to drill holes in my house to run 3 GHz rated cabling. Plus, my house was situated in so that the only way I...

    Wiring for the Hopper

    Found my own answer. Looks like it is my HD locals which are on 61.5W. Thanks,

    Wiring for the Hopper

    I am confused by DishPointer.com. The Dish 1000+ (110W, 118.7W, 119W, 129W), Dish 1000.2 (110W, 119W, 129W) look like they would work where my current 500 dish location resides. The closest to what he was saying was Dish 1000.4 (61.5W, 72.7W, 77W) and I could see that potentially being a...

    Wiring for the Hopper

    As far as satellites, he said the ones in the same direction of the 500 dish did not have many HD's. I will look at DishPointer.com and see. He was only talking about the Hopper and 3 GHz cabling. The shortest route was above my garage to my outlet in my bonus room. Nice hole and wiring 10...

    Wiring for the Hopper

    I have been a Dish customer for over 10 years, but have never upgraded to HD in that time (still using a 500 Dish). Finally broke down and purchased some flat panels. Scheduled a Hopper upgrade. Technician told me I needed to have 3GH cable and that a new DISH needs to point in another...

    SD Only

    We already do autopay and paperless so that is not an issue. Thanks,

    SD Only

    I currently have a 510 DVR receiver and two 311's. Like the features of the hopper for DVR recording especially since I use a DVD-RW recorder for some of my recordings now. I am also concerned about how long the $100 to upgrade offer would be present. Thanks,

    SD Only

    Hello, I am new to posting here, but I have been viewing threads for years. We currently do not have an HD TV in our house, but are looking at upgrading to one or two HD sets in the summer. Will the Hopper/Joey package work totally on SD platform. My viewing of the pictures suggest yes, but...
