Wally DVR fee

[Jackonearth]

It is a dual-tuner receiver. "Solo" simply refers to the number of TV's that can be connected with independent viewing. (In other words, no TV2 output like the old ViP222 receivers, and no Joeys for other rooms.) There is only one coax input on the back of the Wally because the separator is built-in, unlike the ViP receivers. I am not sure how that works with an RV dish, since I use a regular dish, so someone else will have to weigh-in on that one.

Do you know if recordings on the Wally can be watched with Dish Anywhere?

No, Dish Anywhere would be VOD only. Apparently, with the newer receivers, Dish Anywhere will only play recordings from the internal drive. Since the Wally has no internal drive, there is no Dish Anywhere compatibility for recordings.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for all your help.

No problem. That is what I am here for.

 

[navychop]

Ask for a raise.

Ask for a raise.

If we gave him a raise could we still afford him?

 

[Bobby]

I'll give him a double in the pub bar!

Hello again
Does Dish limit the number of Wally receivers you can have if there's a Hopper 3 on the account?

The limit is two Wally per account if there is a Hopper on the account. With no Hopper, the limit of two Wally does not apply.

Does that include the Wally receivers for RV use or just the Wally receivers at home?

With a Hopper on the account, the limit is two Wally total. They are intended to be used in the RV or for tailgating, but there is nothing stopping you from using them at home if you want to do so.

Thanks again.

Any time. Glad to help.

Can two Wally receivers share recordings with each other?

 

[MikeD-C05]

Not that I know of, unless they are both turned in to a Dvr by paying the $40.00 one time fee to DISH and adding external hard drives. Then you could switch the external hard drives and share recordings. I know I did this with my older 211ks when I had them on my account years ago.

That's right, I meant to say two Wally receivers with external hard drives and the $40 DVR service activated. With all that, can recordings on one Wally be watched on the other Wally?

Not unless you manually disconnect the hard drive from one Wally and hook it up to the other Wally to watch it there. There is no way to integrate them or transfer the recordings.

Not quite. You can transfer a program from one Wally to it's hard drive, then transfer that recording to the other Wally from that hard drive.

Not quite. You can transfer a program from one Wally to it's hard drive, then transfer that recording to the other Wally from that hard drive.

Now, I'm confused. Please explain how to transfer a program from a Wally to it's hard drive.

 

[pattykay]

Not quite. You can transfer a program from one Wally to it's hard drive...

The Wally has no internal hard drive, so the recordings are already on the external drive.

...then transfer that recording to the other Wally from that hard drive.

You can transfer the entire drive from one Wally to another. Other than that, there is nowhere to transfer the recordings to, for the reason I stated above.

To be technical, there is a way to hook both hard drives up to a computer to transfer files from one drive to another, but that might be a more involved process than the average subscriber would be willing to fool with. I suppose you could just clone the entire hard drive to have access to recordings from the same Wally on both Wally at the same time.
