My video on demand has not been working for +1 month. I get the Attention 145 popup with Specific Error Code 76 or 77.
Additionally, I can't access the Hopper Arcade either, it tells me I have no Internet connection, but I do.
Furthermore, using Dish Anywhere has been a nightmare since the beginning of April. I couldn't use it at all for a month but then was able to do so from my mother-in-law's house. However, I still could not access it from my own home. After many, many hours I discovered that if I disconnected a device from my home network, and then connected it to my phone's hotpot, I could get it to work after then reconnecting to my home Wi-Fi. This only lasts from 1 hour to 1 week.
I have noticed that in my network details, everything is fine except the "Server Connection" says "Failed." I believe that has been the case for months (I have a photo of the screen dating 05/15/18 and I believe it was like that even before then (beginning of 04/18 I believe).
Currently the Internet connection is through a Dish HIC (Hopper Internet Connector). I changed it from the HIC to wireless, same issue (actually tried our Verizon router wireless, and our Google Wi-Fi). Same problem. Then I hardwired it to the straight to the Verizon router. Same problem. Then I hardwired it to the Google Wi-Fi. Same problem. And yes, the HIC was physically powered off, and the WIFI's were disabled by entering wrong passwords three times and I made sure only the connection I wanted to test was active.
We can access Netflix through Dish with no problems. We can also use it on our TV as well. YouTube and the Weather Channel also work on the Hopper & Joeys (both require Internet access). Amazon Fire TV has no problems with the Internet. I have various iPhones, iPads, Fire Tablets, Laptops, PC's, Android tablets, ADT Pulse Systems, and other devices all connected to the Internet with no issues (Verizon FIOS 150 upload / 150 download).
They did replace my Hopper3 shortly after my initial install in 02/18 because the original hard drive was banging so loud nobody could sleep in the same room with it. And all the trouble occurred after that, but i think it has more to do with flaws in the updates (ran the update again today, and still the same problems).
Other changes tried:
Bridging - turned off and then on again.
Joey – connected to Google Wi-Fi (router behind the Verizon Fios Quantum Gateway) via ethernet instead of Coax.
Joey – connected to Verizon Fios Quantum Gateway
Verizon – called Verizon and had them verify that the Hopper3 and Joeys connected to the Internet when they were connected with Ethernet.
It is frustrating because the kids are out of school and it seems like less and less works with the Dish. I am at my wits end with this since I just signed a two year agreement 02/18 and nothing works right.

Hello everyone, new guy here. I'm trying to solve problem I'm having with Dish bonus view channels. When I'm watching the bonus view channels then I switch back to regular dish channels, after few minutes the screen flips to black and after 30 seconds flips back to regular channels and continues to flip back and forth until I turn off TV. After I wait 30 minutes and turn back on , I can use regular channels again. So, its after I switch from bonus view channels to regular dish channels the problem starts. Been trying to fix this for a month, but no luck
Here what I've done.
i contacted Dish support and they sent me a new Joey3, but no help. Switched to a different HDMI input on TV, no help. Used different HDMI cable , no help. Used different electrical wall plug, no help.
Finally got a Dish tech to check it. He ran all systems check and was OK. Finally he brought in a small TV and plugged in the HDMI out from the Joey to the small TV. He could not get the problem to occur on his small TV, so the new Joey was working OK. So, then the problem must be myTV. He made some phone calls and came back with the answer that there must be a problem with the analog to digital switch in my TV. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this, or is it time to be looking for a new TV? My tv LG OLED65C8PUA. TV has been trouble free til now. Thanks

Thanks to Fitch Ratings ( who gives the ratings on Credit and debt, as approved by the SEC, so they have accurate numbers) we have the totals.
DIRECTV's video subscriber base is the third-largest traditional multi-channel video programming distributor (MVPD) in the U.S. with about 8.2 million subscribers at the end of 1Q26.
The last time it was reported, it was 8.8M at the end of 2Q25, so only a 600,000 loss for 3 quarters, which is a major improvement, since for many years before that, it was losing 500,000 a quarter, 2 Million a year.
It is now losing less than Dish/Sling combined, I believe the Genre Packs are helping to retain and get subscribers.

Recently came back to DirectTV Satellite service and have two boxes, Gemini and a main HR54.
DirecTV is charging me two "TV access fees" of $10 each, but can only watch TV on the one without the server. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

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....

I feel like this was discussed in another thread, but I can't find it. I have T-Mobile and my last iPhone upgrade was in 2020. I want to get a new iPhone, but what is the best way to go about doing it? Should I order the iPhone from T-Mobile directly, or should I buy from the Apple Store? I feel like there are pros/cons to each option.

I have a Hopper with Sling. (Don't know exact model.) A couple nights ago, I went into the DVR screen, and noted that it was recording three programs. Yet I was able to view live TV (that was not one of the channels being recorded.) Did something change? In the past, it would only let me watch one of the channels being recorded, or any recording in the DVR menu. Maybe it was streaming, although there was no indication of that?
Apologies if this has been covered; I searched and didn't find anything.
Thanks.

Anyone have a DirecTV Local Channel Connector that you'd like to get rid of at a reasonable price? DirecTV is currently in a contract dispute with owner of my local ABC affiliate.

I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
Could be out of them I guess ... I'd keep trying, every 3-4 days.I did that. The response was that the LCC is not available. Escalated the issue to a tech support person with the same results.
If they are not out of them as them WHY you can't get one, seeing Your in a Dispute. Thats what they are for.
I would make them give you a real answer, don't let them off the hook.
I had one, and it worked well, but I believe I gave it to another D* friend (also had a AM21), I know I gave them away ...
According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.
I'm not sure your going to find any Refurbished ones as D* doesn't ask for them back.According to the tech support guy, they don't have any in stock. He said I should receive an email when and if they have them. I even told him I would accept a refurbished unit.

Did anyone have a price increase today on their equipment? I own my VIP211k's, and they have been $5.00. My bill that I received last week shows the "add-ons" as being $5.00. However, I just logged into my Dish account, and my "add-ons" are now $10.00. Did the additional receivers go up by $5.00 recently?
As I mentioned, my last bill shows $5.00 and under the notes, nothing is mentioned about a price increase.
