    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    Thanks for that info, I actually like watching on Dish. I guess I'm old school, but I like scanning the channels to see what's on. I do have a bunch of streaming services as well, mostly for my kids, but I don't sign up for any that are also available as a Dish package.

    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    I know, I have done that may times over the past few years. Didn't get the offer this time. Will wait a couple of days and try again.

    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    My 3 month 50% off just expired and now Showtime does show that I am subscribed at $10/month. If select Cancel, I don't get the 50% off offer.

    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    I am considering taking them up on the Netflix deal as well, but it seems the only way is to call them. Can't do it online.

    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    OK, I get that, but the other premium packages I have (Starz and Movie Pack), show up. If I select them, they say I am subscribed with the 50% off and when that offer will expire. It seems Dish is behind in fixing their website. Of course I just read that Paramount is being acquired by another...

    What's going on with Showtime/Paramount?

    I am a current and longtime subscriber to Showtime (now Paramount+ with Showtime). When I go online and look at my account, Showtime does not show up but I can still watch it and it's still a line item on my last bill. When I search online for premium channels and select Paramount/Showtime, I...

    DISH Announces New TV Bundle

    OK, that's good. I assume this would show up as a new user account with Netflix. Me, my wife and three kids all have our own profiles in Netflix, I wonder if there is any way to move all of them to a new account?

    DISH Announces New TV Bundle

    If you subscribe with this deal, can you still watch Netflix on other devices (computers, phones, tablets and streamers like Roku), or can you only watch with the Disk Netflix app and Dish Anywhere? I have been a Netflix subscriber since the beginning, starting with DVD rentals, and wouldn't...

    Recommendation to Dish - Dump Hopper+ and Rembrace Virtual Joey

    The old Sling/DA did exactly that when you were on the same local network. Back then, when I watched something using DA from one of my devices (PC, phone, or tablet), my 722K with the Sling adapter would send the stream directly to my PC without going out the Internet and back in after all the...

    Anything new in H367?

    clearly not fixed in this release and I can also confirm that the blackouts happen with or without a Joey 3 being on.

    Anything new in H367?

    I guess it's just you and me :cool: ! I just noticed that my Hopper 3 was updated to H367overnight. Haven't seen a blackout yet but I've only had the TV on for 30 minutes. If I do see a blackout, I will check to see if my wife is also watching on one of the Joeys.

    Anything new in H367?

    That's interesting, I hadn't considered that. I have two Joey 3's, but since it's just me and my wife while my kids are away at school, only one of them is used at a time, but not always when I am on the Hopper. I will have to try and determine if one of the Joeys is being used when I get...

    Anything new in H367?

    That sucks, why can't they fix that, it's very annoying! I am still on h366 and was hoping the next release might resolve it. Does Dish even know this is a problem? It acts like a HDMI handshake problem.

    H366 is out

    I have the same issue and it hasn't been fixed in 366.

    Dish's email notification system has a few bugs

    Showtime Anytime going away

    With all the other premium movie channels, you still get streaming access. Showtime's content and the ability to stream (even with the higher quality video and audio) is simply not compelling enough to pay almost triple to what I subscribe with Dish. I still renew the $5 discount every three...

    Showtime Anytime going away

    Showtime Anytime is going away next month. Does that mean we won't be able to stream Showtime movies and series using our Dish credentials like we can now? The Showtime App and website don't provide that ability.

    H365 has arrived

    My Hopper has not updated yet, but I am curious if H365 actually fixes any of the problems introduced with H364? In particular, the very annoying 1 to 2 second screen blackouts that randomly happens.

    H364 is here

    The other thing my wife has noticed watching recorded shows on a Joey 3 connected to our Hopper 3, when she skips forward through commercials, it will sometimes jump back to the beginning of the recording. My Hopper was only installed back in the summer and was on a much older release for a long...

    H364 is here

    I see the same thing. Out of nowhere, the screen will go black for a second or two and may happen several times withing a minute and then not again for a while. Very annoying! It's almost like there is an HDMI video issue? Oh, and this happens on live as well as recordings.

    Any tips on how to fill an EHDD on the Hopper 3 to maximum capacity?

    I lived and breathed disk drives for almost 10 years at NetApp and my team did all the software support for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). I can say from all the performance testing we did, that there is no penalty for encryption. First, it's done with hardware, not software. Secondly, what...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    That's a poor excuse. I am not talking about a 200 page book and I am not talking about all the permutations of equipment. But the User Interface needs to be well documented. The online documentation's organization is actually pretty good, but the actual information is minimal to non-existent...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    Thanks! I will give that a try. Why can't Dish add that to its "How To" directions!! As a former software development director, a project was never considered complete unless the appropriate documentation was also updated. It's not that hard, it just needs to be part of the development and QA...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    The other day when I was experimenting with folders, I could not find any way to move recordings out of the folder, except to move them to an EHD. Dish's online documentation describes how to create and move recordings into a folder but that all. There is no provision for the reverse.
