    Satellite TV piracy and account stacking

    Many years ago, my friend got busted pirating satellite TV. He had a old computer somehow hooked up to do it. Anyhow, the place he got stuff from got busted and got his name. He had to pay a fine.

    Are CBS / NBC /ABC important anymore? / Lacking coverage of Impeachment Hearings makes me wonder

    All three of my locals have this coverage on all day. 2 days ago there must’ve been a recess as my soap opera recorded. Don’t laugh. The DVR comes on when it’s time, but records the hearings.

    Is AT&T gutting DIRECTV?

    Never was a fan of Dolby back in the cassette days. Seemed like it destroyed the highs. Always left it turned off.

    Why is my cable not working?

    I heard that you could get a chip and put it in that box and get every Premium Channel. Just a rumor I heard.

    Directv might drop the NFL Sunday Ticket

    Directv’s tactics had me switch to Dish many years ago. (On Cable now). I received phone calls from them (I think twice) offering me free NFL Sunday Ticket for the weekend. Guess what? They billed me for it. It happened twice til I caught on. I would then have to wait till the next month to...

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    Don't know what you mean about that. Formatting to me means erasing everything.

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    Still haven't turned in the bad Hopper. Two things I don't like about the competition is it looks like if your main box goes out, no tv. Also Comcast only offers one HD Channel for each of its premium channels. At least Dish allows you to have two Hoppers. One more thing, if I do stay with Dish...

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    Lparsons81, your comments on the EHD are interesting. Didn't know things were stored there instead of the Hopper with no apparent way to store programs on both Hard Drives. Dish gave me the second Hopper free. You made me think about if the Genie fails. No TV. At least now I am up and running...

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    Three bedroom Hoppers failed. The Family Room one which I had since the Hopper w Sling came out just died. I did some rewiring and am using a Joey in its place. There are no wiring issues in my home. The Family Room is only 3 years old and has 3 circuits. All 12 ga. wiring in home. I'm not...

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    I just had my fourth Hopper failure losing some very special recordings. Just looking for some opinions on the move that I am very serious about. As I am writing this, some older posts appeared. I will check them out. I don't want to commit to a 2 year contract and be sorry.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    Didn't know that, Scott. I don't remember seeing any announcements about it either. Either way, 1TB is more than I will ever need.

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    That's why I'm on this Forum. Another one of my Hoppers failed losing my recordings. Including a TV show my deceased son was on. The fourth Hopper. I don't beleive in buying an External Hard Drive. I'm even looking at Comcast (ouch). They now have cloud storage. I'm feeling around for a deal...

    HR54 - 4K Genie FIRST LOOK

    As a Hopper user, 1TB of that is useless for me. It's only for Prime Time Any Time which I don't use.
