I hope I didn't make a big mistake

Two weeks ago my 722 bit the dust. Yesterday, two Dish Techs came out to install a Hopper in the man cave. When they got there they said they were installing a Hopper and two Joeys and I told them it was just going to be one Hopper. They were, also, supposed to put in a new dish since we are getting a new roof and the old one is on the roof.

The techs were very good at their job. They looked at the existing cabling and came upstairs to the man cave and put in the Hopper. Then things went somewhat awry. I did not know that we had to go all Hopper and no 722. She who must be obeyed, hereafter known as the boss, has a SD TV in the den with a 722 on it and she watches TV upstairs in the bedroom off of that DVR. When they told me it had to be all Hopper, i was cool with it. They installed a Joey in the den and one in the bedroom. My son is living with us now and he wanted to get Dish in his room so they put another Joey in his room. OK so far.

The problem is there are now three different people watching TV and the Hopper only has 3 tuners. If something is recording then there are only 2 tuners available, unless two things are recording. We all watch totally different types of programs and I am certain we are going to run out of tuners very soon.

The boss is not going to be happy at all, and if she aint happy aint nobody happy, if she cant watch what she wants to watch when she wants to watch it.

So, here's the dilemma, I assume i would need to get another Hopper in order to get more tuners. If we did that, would there be anymore DVR fees over what we will have with one Hopper and three Joeys? Also, can the Hopper in the Man Cave be on its own and the other three joeys be linked to the new Hopper?

They did not install the new dish yesterday because someone has to come out and check for underground wiring even though I know there is nothing where they want to put it and where the cable will run. They are scheduled to come back on 7/8 for the dish install. Depending on what I learn from you guys, I will see about getting another Hopper and eliminating on of the Joeys.

Thanks a lot guys, I have a lot to learn about this Hopper.

Well, now on top of the tuners problem, the remote for the boss' Joey quit working today. I called Dish and the young lady that answered went through several steps to see if it would come back to life. Alas, it was to no avail. Now the boss has to get up to change channels, yeah right. The TV functions of the remote work just no SAT functions. New remote is on the way.

This is a common problem with the remotes. The fix is on the Remote, hold the Sat button in on the side until all the lights light up, then release that and at the same time press Home and Guide until the remote beeps in a descending tone, then hit the System Info button on the front panel of the receiver. Press select and then arrow to unpair.
Open the battery cover, pop the batteries out, then back in, put the cover back on and hit the Sat button on the side and it should pair up.

Now, press home, go to Settings, Remote Control, Drop to TV and press Select, then TV Paring Wizard, select your brand, hit next, let it scan, when it's done, check the volume, if it works, back out and enjoy.

I called Dish and talked to one of the best reps i have ever talked to on the phone. I don't remember his name but he was excellent.

Anyway, they are going to come out July 7 and install a Hopper 3 and upgrade two of the Joeys to Joey 3. The other Joey is a wireless one and he said i would have the latest and greatest that Dish has to offer. He, also, waived the $100 upgrade fee. I told him that last night I was ready to throw all of this new equipment out the window and tell Dish to pound sand.

Now i am a happy camper and hopefully the boss's new remote will be in on monday, then she will be happy, too.

Glad to hear that they took care of you. Even with all the problems we had with the Hopper with Sling and the wireless joeys, the customer service was excellent. If I had called them earlier instead of trying to troubleshoot all the problems myself it would have been resolved earlier, lol. I guess I kind of liked the challenge of figuring it out myself, but the wife was NOT amused. It got to the point that she said if the issues we had with the wireless joey did not stop, she wanted to dump Dish for cable. I informed the second to last tech about that and they ended up running cable and swapping the WJ for a Joey 3. That room has been perfect ever since. They gave us the Hopper 3 upgrade with no contract because of the multiple service calls to resolve the original issues. I have been very happy with Dish customer service and now the wife is happy with the actual satellite service.

Yes I agree, the tech that installed the Joey 3, went above and beyond, climbing into the attic to find the line coming into the house so that he could tap into it and install the wired Joey 3. It was a Sunday morning, and when they got to the point of actually running the wire down the wall his service manager showed up to help him, they were awesome.

I had told the tech earlier when he arrived, the problem has to end today, no ifs ands or buts. If it did not the wife was calling WOW cable the next day. He laughed a little and said "nothing like a little pressure", but he got it done and I appreciate it. I like Dish and the Hopper, WOW has crap DVR's, my wife had them in her place before we got married 2 years ago and I always hated it. I got to keep all my EHD's with thousands of movies saved for years. I am very happy with their customer service and always give them a stellar survey.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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....

OTA no working after Update

My OTA is not working anymore. This started after the latest update. I have the OTA dongle with a OTA antenna that I've been using for years. My hopper does not recognize the dongle anymore and when I go to the OTA setting, it has a screen that says to plug a dongle into the USB. I tried unplugging and plugging back, in the same usb port and other ports. The Hopper does not recognize it. Anyone have same issue?

Installed an off-air antenna a couple days ago for a customer who had just cancelled his Dish service. He had a dual off-air adapter and gave it to me. Cool. I'll keep it on the truck....might come in handy. Got to admit I don't watch anything as far as live tv goes anymore. Even if we have severe weather, our local channels will have a live feed on Youtube.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

Balls
Bears. Gave the Pats a good beatdown.
Bucs. Got Baker back and absolutely demolished the previously surprising Panthers.
Falcons. Took care of the 49ers and did so convincingly.
Vikings. I hate them. I do. I've never seen such a bad/good team. Know what I mean? I know their D is epic. But their O is insulting. How they remain undefeated is a mystery.
Rams. Finally looked the part. Mind you against the hapless Cards.
Cowboys. Fireworks performance from their O.
Dolphins. Finally logged in a W. There won't be many. Enjoy it, Miami fans.
Browns. Still atop the AFC North.
Giants. Epic OT win with Buffalo's very own Motor Singletary finishing it off.
Seattle. Dominated KC from start to finish.

Goats
Jets. Couldn't beat the winless Dolphins. Aaron Glenn is a dead man walking.
Eagles. Injured beyond repair
Ravens and Lamar. Has he ever played a full season? Honestly, dude is fragile. Of course he's back for the Bills game.
49ers. No longer undefeated.
Colts. A sh*t show. When are they gonna realize that Daniel Jones is ass?
Steelers vs Saints game. Ass, just ass all around. Those poor people in Paris have had enough lately, and on top of that, endure that game.
Chiefs. They looked terrible. Like really bad.
Pack vs. Detroit game refs. Some of the worst refereeing I've seen in a long time. And the sample is pretty large.

What bothers me is the total waste of broadcasting spectrum in this very crowded market. It has been almost three years now since KFOX converted their broadcast tower to ATSC 3.0 and moved all of their channels to other towers causing noticeable degradation of the picture quality.
I have a Sony TV with 3.0 capabilities but still use the 1.0 version of locals due to the fact that one or all of the 3.0 channels are often missing or unwatchable. In this city of 800K I doubt that more than a few hundred even know about ATSC 3.0.
The only thing that could motivate me to be interested in 3.0 would be if all of the minor networks (diginets) could be in at least 720P rather than blurry ultra-compressed 480i.
Three years is long enough to waste one of the few available RF frequencies in the area for this trial.
It is time to either move on with this experiment or call it quits.

Fwiw, if theres a Major disaster or bad weather or whatever, the chances of me finding out about it by going to the AM side of the radio is SLIM and None.
Even FM, I haven't really had on since '13ish, I may turn it on from time to time, just to see if its still there.

That goes for a lot of people. I've been advertising on radio for more than a decade now and am very familiar with this subject. While it is still a valuable tool, it has far less impact than it did just a few years ago. The best reaction I get is from a local Country music station....they play a mix of older and newer music and have a very big footprint.

No, just regular FM stations. One is the country station I mentioned and the other is a Talk Radio station which used to get fantastic results but honestly, since the death of Rush Limbaugh, talk radio just doesn't do as well. There were two guys who had an early morning show which was hugely popular here in the southeast but one of them retired a couple years ago and the show just doesn't garner the same numbers as it used to.
