When I call Direct, I expect they will refuse to give me free HD and DVR. When they do I will cancel and move to Dish. I currently have an old Tivo so I MUST have DVR. I will also be getting Am Top 250. I have a LR tv and 4 bedrooms and don't want to be limited to 3 tuners, so I think $200 for a second Hopper makes the most sense. Is that price correct? I am just looking to get the best system at the best price and greatly appreciate any and all advice/pointers to make that happen. Thanks for the help!!

You might try to CALL customer support and let them know you are looking at other options with someone else and and ask for a C/S Supervisor and explain how much you are displeased with the stations that have beeen canceled and to make up for it you would like a Hooper and Joey like the New First Time Customers like me just got on a 24 month Top 120 plan. I bet they may give you the up grade. I have had my DISH for 3 days and after 24 hours my Hooper was Really Warm and lost my signal. We went thru the process with on line customer service and they made a tech call to repair. 3 Days later........ grrrr . Best my wife could do online as she pleaded that we could not watch any TV for days then (I am retired) so I called C/S and explained and C/S said 3 days was the quickest, I finally had to ask for my money back and come get the Hooper etc. after a 30 second wait they scheduled a tech call the next (yesterday). They were there on time yesterday and they changed out everything. I have my siginal again and so far today everything is working. I want the Google Device to use my 55" flattscreen for my PC but I will wait and see if the Hooper and Joey will pass the test of being On all day every day.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
