That's great news. Sounds like its a CPU intensive task. Do you know if it's coming to the Hopper Duo too? Any idea what the cost is to go from the Hopper Duo to Hopper 3, in terms of one-time fees and monthly fees?

We recently had the Hopper Duo installed. Coming from the 722k, this seems like a downgrade in most aspects. The UI is clunky and not well thought out. It seems to require multiple taps to get to important information. I know you can program the diamond buttons to be record and stop, but why is...

Dish is moving Portuguese language channels off of the satellite and they'll be exclusively available on streaming. However, it seems like you can't recording streaming channels? Does anyone know if this will always be the case? Are any other receivers able to record them? For a household that...

From my experience, the quality on the streaming channels is much better than what was offering via satellite. You now also have the ability to view the channels on a tablet or computer, even without a Sling receiver, which is a nice addition. However, the programming costs are too high for...

Thanks for the thoughtful and informative replies. I've only used DishAnywhere in the past with the Sling adapter and the quality of the app itself (on the web and iPad) wasn't great and the streaming quality was subpar. I understand it depends on your connection, but if you have a 100Mb...

Could I add and activate another receiver like a Wally and use it in my office at a different location? We don't spend enough time there to make it worth another subscription, but it'd be worth the $7/month just for the occasional times we may turn on the tv. Does Dish do anything to prevent...

I assume it's a bad idea to use a SS drive?

What is SS?

If I want to add a Wally as a 2nd receiver, am I better off just getting it from Dish or buying a used one off eBay? I imagine I need to pay the 2nd receiver fee either way. Why is the Wally aimed at RV use? Seems kind of odd. Also, does Wally allow me to watch some of the Dish channels that...

I'm looking to keep a DVR, so the Wally doesn't really work. But does the Wally require an additional fee like a 2nd receiver fee if it's being used as a 2nd receiver? Seems like a cheap alternative for a 2nd tv.

I'm having trouble with my 722k receiver and Dish is offering an upgrade to the Hopper Duo, which would cost an addtional $3/month for me in DVR fees. I can't find a lot of info about the Hopper Duo. My main questions are: 1) Does it use the same interface as the other Hopper receivers such as...

This is perfect for some ppl. My parents for example may be getting a HD TV soon but will not be interested in paying $20/month extra for HD channels. They would however be interested in free HD local channels. I think this fits the bill for many ppl if it's offered for free.

Any idea how they distribute the ondemand showings? Bandwidth isn't cheap, and those movies to really be DVD quality are at the very least 1/2 GB, and tha'ts if they're using an advanced codec. Could they be using bittorrent to help dilute the cost of distribution? I'm not a huge fan of AT&T...

I believe estimates are still for Spring '06.

what he means by lose your locals is that you won't receive your local channels but the local channels of where you move to. So if you're mainly interested in primetime programming, then you'll still get it, but if it's the news you want, then it's a different story. I say to move. It's much...

I disagree as well, I have a 721 and yeah lately it has some minor issues like the skip back button not working or freezing for a couple seconds, but i really prefer the whole box as a whole to my crappy directivo which is slow 100% of the time and has its bugs as well. From my experience Dish...

Scott's post on the Dish NEtwork forum seems to have hit it on the head. Directv does not have a current contract with FSNY and MSG. Who knows when they will be able to show those teams again.

ok...just called back..again.. and spoke with a somewhat knowledge girl who was really nice. she said they are aware of the problem and have lots of ppl calling in and understand that it's NHL opening night and we're probably pretty upset. She offered some compensation for this and offered me...

this is Bullsh!t...i just called back and was hung up on.

i made sure the guy i talked to knew they weren't suppose to be blacked out in my area. as far as i know, they're blacking out everyone. we need more ppl calling in and complaining Anyone using a reguar receiver and try restarting it every so often? I have a tivo and this crap takes forever to...

nope...still not getting the same 2 games Please let me know if you get either of the games working.

I'm getting the same problem here with the Sabres game and also the Pens VS NJ game. Just talked to Directv, he checked a logged and said they are getting a lot of calls for these 2 games. Everyone is blacked out. They're working on fixing it now.. this is pissing me off tho..I already hate how...

I received the center ice package a couple years ago. And although the regular price is $169 or there about they offer an early bird special that runs until the season starts for $139. I'd also like to see them lower it to sub $100, but the biggest problem is finding the time to watch enough...

The guy above is wrong. You can easily retreive the programs from the 510's HDD. There's a program out there that makes it extremely easy. You can get it from the Yahoo group called dishrip I believe. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
