Going from 8 ch. view to 6 is helpful? I presume you can change the # of lines presented in the guide like you can with ViP?

When DiSH first made available a replacement remote, it was $50. Or $49.99, they worked everything in oily 99s. And this was in 1996.

It is the age of the squeaky wheel. DiSH long ago abandoned any pretense of treating all comers (and customers) with due respect. They shifted to the general ethos of the milking parlor where they want to get the cows through as quickly as possible, as thoroughly drained as possible. If a cow...

I would not like a pickup delay when skipping forward. My 722 has none.

$15 "whole-house DVR" added fee on hoppers? When they aren't even whole house, like they should have designed?

Gimme the hopper as it was announced, with same-night auto-DVR'ed viewing and autohop, I might consider. Otherwise I consider the thing as simply an exercise in tit-for-tat with the broadcast nets. Ah, yes, those "vertical consoles" everyone had to have in the 90s...how much of our landfills...

Outage was observed here beginning at noon Central...I had noticed the "bogging down" for 2-3 days. All seems well now

Yep, DiSH can be exasperating but they have good tech

Well, you might want 3 hoppers if you have 3 independent users and don't want joeys for whatever reason (like the guide) or just happen to have extra hoppers lying around

Part of why they're now so doggone cheap

Don't know if this means anything, but I've started getting frequent all-white screens when paging back, like from a thread back to the thread list. Paging further back always brings up the previous page (forums list) and then I can proceed forward again

Wonder why vol & ch are at the top, when as most frequently-used they're better placed where the thump more natually lands when picking it up? Does it do device modes?

Looks like they can't even keep a consistent UI in same home.

I'll look for it at Hy-Vee

Certainly the chances are that if you own your boxes you also own the dish/LNBF. Unless you started with a leased system and have for whatever reason substituted out owned rx's for leased. Or if DiSH supplied the dish/LNBF on install. They used to be persistent about getting back the LNBF (just...

NOW they refer....

First I've ever heard of them referring a dealer.

They get touchy about that for whatever reasons. Like it's something totally nefarious. The warned me not to try to sell my bad 722 that they let me keep because they didn't want to pay shipping back. I guess they thought I was possibly lying about it being bad in order to free it up to sell....

I'm pretty sure they haven't sent self-installation kits in quite some time. Just I'd throw them that one just to mess with them. They weren't such a scrupulous outfit in past years. They have to bring out all possible gear they might need including rx's because yours might not be usable or you...

If you see something, whisper something

Why would need the newest LNBF? Lotsa hopper users must be on older ones like the DPP triple. If you've self-installed before, you can again, especially if dish is already in place. Just buy the hopper and any kind of add-on 'node' you might need (per advice here), and call in activation. Do NOT...

Are you saying that if you would purchase a hopper on ebay that had been deactivated from account and unencumbered, or perhaps a new or refurbished one from a dealer and self install, that they won't activate? I'm not asking what will they tell you prospectively just to deter you....but what...

They didn't make me get pp to have an owned 722 swapped out. Lotta other grief but not that...unless they did it w/o saying...

Interesting. Historically DiSH rx's have been operable by IR command including those (also) operable by RF remote. There's always the odd situation where RF remote is either undesired or problematic, and of course I'm sure they wanted some usability with 3rd party IR multi-remotes. Although it...

It can allow them to capture PPV revenue in cases where cx is unable or unwilling to broadband connect, but has landline. Does hopper, joey use UHF remote?
