    Anyone know what criteria they use to determine if existing customers are eligible for free voice remote?

    I called in last night and waited even though it's a known issue, they told me the target for a fix was August 18th.

    Wow, it's been a while since I've been on this site! How did Dish screw this feature up so long ago (April) and still not have it fixed in August? It is one of my favorite features as I watch in multiple rooms, two fed from one H2 and two from the other H2.
  4. Hopper System Support Forum
    Wanted to post an update to my situation. Chatted with Dish on-line and they were quick to offer to replace my two Hoppers with Hopper 2s with Sling at no charge and no commitment. Technician came out yesterday to install them, I asked him if he had been doing a lot of them and he said it was...

    It is nearly unusable now it is soooo slow. We don't watch much TV during the summer so it has been a minor annoyance but now that fall season and football are starting this is going to be unacceptable situation. I've never considered leaving Dish for 15+ years, many of those because they had...
  6. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    I don't know about iOS but the Dish Anywhere application on Android cannot be used like a remote and it seems like such a glaring omission that I'm shocked it hasn't been added. The app does allow you to set recordings and manage the DVR to some extent but it appears that it is more geared for...

    This is just sad - poorly informed consumers bought into a inferior technology and the better performing one is now just about gone. Even Consumer Reports is lamenting this: I just hope my 3 plasma sets hold out for a long time until there is actually something comparable to replace them with.
  8. Hopper System Support Forum
    Guys, it's been over 48 hours. I've done the check switch. left it off all day two days in a row, etc. and it will not update the software. I've done the replacement receiver enough times (this is the 3rd Hopper I've had to have replaced and many other 622s, etc.) to know the process by heart -...
  9. Hopper System Support Forum
    Has something happened to Dish's Tech Support??? I have a replacement Hopper I've activated and it has VERY old (S057) software so my OTA tuner doesn't work, it won't link to my other Hopper and it doesn't properly restore from the remote. I've tried the phone and chat and they just keep putting...

    I've already tried it, have moved / deleted all but a few and there are two of the three left that will not show as available to transfer no matter what. As a test I tried deleting one of them thinking I would restore it from the Deleted folder and then see if I could transfer it - the joke's on...

    For the third time since switched to Hoppers this bug is biting me in the a@@! Had (yet) another HDMI failure on a Hopper last week, trying to dump everything off before I put the replacement in and some shows just will NOT show up on the list to transfer them off. It is really sad this problem...

    I agree, it has been reported before (by me and others) and it is not an issue with DHCP. In my case I had to just keep transferring off what shows / movies it did show until I had them all (actually one or two never did show up in the available list). It acts like the buffer for displaying...
  13. Hopper System Support Forum
    When I first tried it I received that message and then realized I didn't have the PS3 on the same subnet as my Hoppers. After I rectified that and restarted the VJ app it came up asking which Hopper I wanted to link it to. I selected one and it came up with an activation code and instructions to...

    I'm trying to use my free PPV certificates I received from Dish when they discontinued the Blockbuster by mail movies but they don't appear to work for VOD movies on the Hopper. The e-mail that accompanied the certificates say it's good for either but according to Dish this is a "known issue"...

    I find it's usually when they have the "motion enhancement" settings (the name varies by manufacturer) enabled to try to eliminate motion blur. It's often called the soap opera effect and you are correct - most people take them out of the box and leave the default settings on. Of course a lot of...
  16. High Definition Displays
    I've briefly looked at the 4K sets in the stores but that experience means little to me until I can see one in a more typical viewing room (or my house). What I saw was definitely beautiful but motion scenes still do not look natural to me. Between that and black levels I will stay with my 60'...

    Looks like Panasonic has confirmed it and it's happening very quickly. If anyone is in the market for a new TV larger than 40", particularly if you have a discriminating eye, you better plan on getting one soon or be prepared to wait a long time for something better. I guess the Sammy will still...
  18. Hopper System Support Forum
    I thought that might be the case but it's not - and everything on the 2nd Hopper shows up in the transfer menu.
  19. Hopper System Support Forum
    The HDMI port of one of my two Hoppers croaked last week and I had Dish send me a replacement, no problem with that process as usual. However, when I go to transfer all the stuff off of the broken Hopper only about 1/4 of the recorded programs show up in the transfer to external device menu...

    connect to sites where is HTTPS is implented That's not always as effective as it sounds either, some sites only use HTTPS for the login and then redirect to insecure sites that leave you vulnerable. Sent from my Xoom using DBSTalk mobile app
