  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    I agree that if you leave and then want to return in a (relatively) short time, there is little incentive for Dish to offer any great deal, as you have explained. Conversely, providers do want to get customers back. I switched from D* to Dish several months ago, and I still get offers from D*...

    Thanks for responding. I understand what you are saying, but the D* list would show a lot more titles vertically than Dish does horizontally.

    When I had D*, I could click on a channel number in the guide, and I would see a list of all upcoming programming for that channel alone. Is there any way to do something similar with the Hopper 3?
  4. General DISH™ Discussion
    I switched from D* to Direct a few months ago. One thing I lost was the macroblocking I constantly got on Genie recordings. I had two other DVRs that did not have the problem. I have no problem with my Hopper 3. I really like the sixteen tuners, which came in handy during the Olympics. Oh, and I...

    I will keep this in mind. However, since I started this thread, I haven't had a disconnect message, and the message didn't appear for a couple of months. I wouldn't mind if the message appeared and was acknowledged, but when the problem is extant, every few minutes it would say the EHD had...

    No. I am using a Thermaltake BlacX dock which has a physical off/on switch. When it was used on one of my D* boxes, it never lost connection over several years, which would be easy to see since the external replaces the internal when it is used. (One of the things I never understood about D*.)

    You have a certain point re sports. However, the ultimate result is measured in an objective way: how many points does one team have compared to the other. And I don't deny that referees sometimes blow a call, but overall, the final results are clear based on a measured result. I don't deny that...

    During the Olympics, I padded everything 90 minutes. Because of this, there was overlap on some of the recordings. I would use 300X to get to new stuff. I would also use it to get through some events I had no interest in. BTW, if an event cannot be measured by time, distance or other objective...

    Last night, I kept getting alerts that the external drive has disconnected/reconnected. The screen goes dark until I press the "OK" button. This happened soon after I connected the external drive, but then was stable until just last night. Any ideas or comments?

    Thanks for all the responses! I have preferences set to only list HD channels where there is also a SD broadcast. I'll double check to make sure that hasn't changed.

    Gaffigan is on TVLAND (I like the fact Jim makes fun of that) and BLTN is on NBC; that is what I found strange. I guessed that TVLand might have been broadcast in a different resolution, but it was full screen from D* before I switched.

    I didn't know how to label this thread, but here's the problem. I watched the first episode of Better Late Than Never. The video is in a small area in the middle of the screen. I have to use my tv control to enlarge it. This also happens for episodes of The Jim Gaffigan Show. All other videos...

    I tried using a 3T drive, but the capacity only shows 1T available.

    Hi, I'm new to Dish after 15 years with DirecTv. To set up a custom timer, go to the DVR menu, go to the timer tab, click on "options", one of which will let you set up a manual timer. I did this for the entire seasons of NASCAR, Formula 1, IMSA and Indycar. It took a while, but I was able to...
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Haven't been around here for quite some time. I see that your channel 13 is a FOX channel. I am in NV I have the same problem with my Genie HR34 when watching FOX 5, mostly when watching recordings of live sports (mostly NASCAR) broadcasts. I do not have the problem with my HR24 or HR23. I...

    One other question: (hopefully the last, but no guarantees, lol) 9. Can a series on a dvr be deleted from an H2x? (I doubt it)
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    If ordered on-line, will D* include a DECA with an H2x? Or will I have to contact them to include one? (This receiver will be free due to having the protection plan) I am assuming the H24 and H25 do not need a DECA, correct?
  18. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I do use the Android app from time to time, but I find searching and scheduling from a dvr to be much quicker.
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have checked D* site and the owners manual for the H2x receivers but I have some questions. (I indicate what I believe/guess is the answer to each question) I currently have three HR2x and one Genie. I am thinking about replacing one of the HR2x with an H2x receiver. I would like to verify a...

    I called a week ago, and was told there is no change in policy.
