    No sound unless you restart Joey or pull out HDMI and plug back in.

    Try switching the TV to a different input and then back to the input with the Joey.

    Two new hd channels on directv

    They are considering shutting down the U-Verse TV WEBSITE by the end of May, not the entire U-Verse TV service according to the original post on FierceCable.com. They don't want to attract new customers. They are wanting to phase out U-Verse, but that will take several years.

    Can you mirror Hopper 3 on 2nd TV?

    With my Hopper 1, I used a Component video cable to mirror the TV in the kitchen. You could also use the composite video out if you do not need HD video quality on the kitchen TV.

    Had charter installed today

    Most older TV shows made prior to the 1990s and all movies made before 1953 were shot in a 4x3 aspect ratio and will have the bars on each side. Many have been re-scanned from the original film and are broadcast in HD with bars on each side. TV Land and Turner Classic Movies are good examples...

    They are supposed to be coming out with a new DVR they are calling the "World Box" but I have not seen any information as to when it will be available. I went with a Tivo Roamio and three Tivo minis and so far they are working great.

    SD Channels Go Dark?

    I read an article that said over 85% percent of the TV households in the US have at least 1 HDTV, but less than 40% actually watch HD programing on them. I had a co-worker that bought a new 70" HDTV and was wondering why the picture was so bad. He had a SD receiver connected with a composite...

    Hopper OTA guide information

    The good thing about the Dish OTA module is that it will scan in ALL OTA channels and you can set manual timers to record anything you want. My wife has about five manual timers set to record shows everyday from sub channels (ME, RTV, Antrenna TV, etc) that do not have guide info. We have one...

    No Auto Hop on CBS & ABC

    This is the result of the new contracts that Dish made with CBS and ABC. The Autohop is disabled for several days after the show airs. I believe it is 7 days for CBS and 3 days for ABC O&O stations.

    Recorded Programs Cannot be Deleted

    We have four programs that were recorded over the last three days that cannot be deleted. They were recorded using a manual timer from an OTA sub-channel. They all play fine but there is no option to delete. The program icon still has the red dot in the upper left hand corner like it was still...

    Joeys Pixelating Bad on SD Sports

    I have found that almost all SD channels look bad with sports (on any receiver) because of fast moving action. The SD channels are compressed too much to keep up with fast movement. Why would you watch 140 ESPN in SD when it is available in HD ?

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    I have a DTVPal that does the same with KTVT channel 11 in the DFW area. The station transmits on channel 18 (virtual 11) but shows as channel 70.1 in the DTVPal guide. It has always done this. It displays correctly on all other Dish receivers that I have had. It tunes correctly when I press...

    Can I have 2 tv's on 1 dish hopper

    Yes, on the Hopper all outputs are always live. I have two TVs connected with a HDMI splitter, one in another room connected to the component output, and a RF modulator connected to the composite output, all on the same Hopper.

    Subliminal Messages

    Sounds like audio from a Dish commercial. Somebody, somewhere, left the wrong audio turned up or hit play at the wrong time.

    Helluva Charter deal...what would you do?

    In Fort Worth TX Charter is all digital with over 200 HD channels which is more than Direct or Dish. We have Charter where I work and the HD picture quality is about the same as Direct (we also have Direct in two of the buildings). The biggest problem is their equipment. They no longer offer...
