    Hopper bugs, please add yours!

    That's what happened to me. Got the new interface on my original hopper and it was a slow, error prone mess. Now have a new Hopper 3.

    dishstandsbyyou gives you a great credit for fox dispute

    I received both without even threatening to leave. Dish is taking this seriously, and they should. I can move to DTV, have FNC and save $500 the 1st year.

    Dish/Capital Broadcasting Dispute (Resolved)

    February of 98 for me, bought my setup at Costco. A 4700 and 2700 receiver, about $300 IIRC. Installed them with the help of my teenage son, that was an experience, especially aligning the dish! Boy ain't that the truth! Dish should award us old timers all purple hearts for all the crap we put...

    FOX News Channel/DISH dispute

    It doesn't matter to me who is the "problem". I subscribe to a service, if that service ceases to provide what I value then I'll switch to one that will. Dish has made a business decision and so will I.

    FOX News Channel/DISH dispute

    What are you talking about? I simply reported what I was told, no where did I imply " that is feeling of everyone?" "Doubtful at best:" Yeah, sure, whatever makes you happy...

    FOX News Channel/DISH dispute

    I've been a Dish subscriber for almost 17 years but this is getting old really fast. I spoke to a CSR and she said they are getting hammered over this, way more than they expected. I still have access to FNC via my broadband provider but if this isn't resolved soon I'm done with Dish.

    HWS not releasing phone line

    A reboot isn't necessary. Just flash one of your telephone handsets on-off hook a couple of times and the dial tone will return.

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    I agree on Denon, the 3xxx series definitely took a wrong turn after the 3808, luckily it meets all my current needs. I've always had a fondness for Yamaha receivers, I owned a stereo one for a while in the late 70's, beautiful warm sounding amps. Yeah does look like something post...

    Haven't experienced that one. What brand/model AVR?

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I think I'll try disconnecting the RF antenna on the hopper to minimize the possibility that some of my other RF devices (ceiling fans, X-10, weather station) might be causing the problem.

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    I'm having a issue with IR becoming disabled overnight. Several times now my Hopper has stopped responding to IR commands after going into standby, the Dish remote still works. I check the settings under Remote and IR has been reset to disabled. I can re-enable IR but the receiver will not...

    How much is the Hopper upgrade costing you?

    I'd even be willing to pay the bogus $4 whole house DVR fee if they would let me have a Hopper sans Joey because I'd save all but $1 of that on reduced programming cost. It all comes down to Dish losing a 14 year subscriber and $1100.00 a year in monthly programming vs $84 a year in fees. Can...
