  1. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi: I watch a lot of sports and frequently use frame by frame advance. I just got the Hopper 3 with the 52.0 and 50.0 (voice). I love the voice remote. It's by far my favorite remote ever. But the frame by frame advance only works intermittently. Most of the time when the picture is paused...
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    Hi: I upgraded to the Hooper a few months ago. Now I'm unexpectedly moving. The new house has lots of HUGE old trees around it -- especially to the South. The only fairly clear path is North. The trees branches can't be cut because of rules. Plus I wouldn't want to cut them. The trees are...
  3. Hopper System Support Forum
    Hi: I'm really bad with math but the Hopper hard drive info seems wrong. My Hopper says "your hard drive is 21% full with 24 recordings". I thought the Hopper held 500 HD hours? The 24 recordings add up to about 23 HD hours. If my hard drive was 21% full wouldn't that mean I had 105 (.21 x...
  4. Hopper System Support Forum
    I'm thinking about switching from DISH (VIP 622) to DIRECTV (Genie) or maybe DISH Hopper because of the HD recording capabilities. It seems like the consensus is that both services are pretty much equal when it comes to PQ. I've got a 65" plasma and may be buying a 75" or 80" display before...
  5. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm thinking about switching from DISH (VIP 622) to DIRECTV (Genie) because of the HD recording capabilities. It seems like the consensus is that both services are pretty much equal when it comes to PQ. I've got a 65" plasma and may be buying a 75" or 80" display before the Fall so I want to...
  6. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I'm finally upgrading to an av receiver with HDMI inputs. I've used the HDMI out on the vip 722 to my display for picture with no problems. 1.) Will the 722's HDMI port output a 5.1 audio signal to my new receiver? Also, I know -- unfortunately -- that the 722 doesn't have native resolution...
  7. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    It's been a while since I've been to this forum so I hope I'm in the right place. I don't understand DISH's pricing. I get charged $6 for a service plan. I'm guessing this was for the DVR service. The 722 has performed beautifully for 28 months so I will drop that charge. But I seem to remember...
  8. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I have a VIP 722. It's almost full. I also have a WD My Book USB 2.0 EHD. It's also almost full. I know I can disconnect the full EHD and replace it with an empty WD My Book, but can I buy a USB hub and switch back and forth between the 2 external hard drives? If possible that would be much...
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm about to switch to an HR22. I currently only have a Sony HD 300 receiver. I've held off going the HR2X route because of bad experiences my friends and family have had with the units. My dad went through 6 HR20's before he got one that's been stable for 10 months, although he doesn't use it...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I've been patiently waiting since the "HR20 era" started. My dad has had terrible experiences with the HR20-100. He's on his 5th one. However, I thought it might be time for me to take the plunge, since my dad's latest HR20-100 has been trouble free for about 5 months and D*'s MPEG 4 HD...
  11. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    I'm trying to decide whether to go with the VIP 622 or the D* HR20. I'm currently a D* subcriber, but my dad's recent experience with the HR 20 has been a very negative. He's on his 3rd unit. I also noticed that CNET picked the VIP 622 as the best DVR. Mark Lamutt posted this back in July...
  12. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I'm sorry that my 1st post on this forum is going to be negative. However, the truth can't always be positive. My siblings purchashed the HR20 for my 76 y/o dad. It was installed in January. The installer didn't connect the OTA antenna, even though it was previously connected; he unplugged...
