  1. Hopper System Support Forum
    Click on his user ID to go his page, then "ignore user." Works wonders. :)

    Same experience here. I went from a Genie to a Hopper and there's no comparison in speed and ease of use. On demand, searching, channel changes, guides, are all painful and slow on the genie. The only thing the genie has over the hopper is 2 more tuners, but then I've really started enjoying...

    CNET specifically called out the functionality of being able to transfer shows to a tablet for offline and away from home viewing. Sorry if I missed it, but didn't see this link posted yet from the editor in chief...

    Agreed. I made the mistake of jumping to the Genie and have been looking for a way out of it ever since. Unfortunately it's only gotten worse as they add features.
  5. General Satellite Discussion
    Having used both, I can say that the Hopper's UI is much faster, more intuitive, and more polished than the Genie. It's a frustrating experience using the channel guide in the Genie where the Hopper is instantaneous and fluid.
  6. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Same here. It does everything I ask but it's so darned slow...
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    Every 2 years. Nice to get new equipment and promotions.
  8. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    It does that on reboot.
  9. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    The poll is about the hopper technology vs HR34 and RVU, but many seem to be nitpicking the PTA feature (which is able to be disabled BTW). Honestly, it's hard to compare because while the "joeys" will be released at the same time as the hopper there are no RVU clients to speak of. I have to...
  10. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    What you are describing is the correct functionality and what doglover described.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    The question I would ask is if their new installs are also scheduling 4 weeks out? If so, then they seriously need more techs as they are losing business. If the answer is no, then I agree with everyone questioning the model at this point. If your TV service was out (cable, sat, whatever) and...
  12. General DISH™ Discussion
    This has nothing to do with that.
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I see a lot of people trying to blow off the 1080p announce as something that's not needed or even wanted at this point, but how many of those people have Blu-Ray players at home? It doesn't matter if no providers broadcast this format yet - it's about the providers allowing downloads in...
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes, but like he said E* has no upfront costs for the HD-DVR. Opinion It doesn't sound like he wants more than 8 tuners. An while a 722 HD-DVR does have 3 tuners, one of them is OTA and does not count. This isn't a D* vs E* debate, but your facts needed correcting.
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    I have Dish and my bill didn't go up a dollar. They didn't raise prices on the DVR Advantage plans.
  16. General DISH™ Discussion
    Many of the more popular PPV movies start every half hour on different channels, so that's close to OnDemand.
  17. ViP612/622/722/722K DVR Support Forum
    Not true. My 622 works just fine with Vonage, as did my D* H10-250.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yes they can. They can send a signal to the receiver to force it to dial-in. I had to do that before I could order PPV via my remote because the receiver had not called in for a while.
  19. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Which does lead me to believe that it's a software issue, not an uplink issue. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.
  20. General DISH™ Discussion
    A similar thing happened to me, although the person cancelling my order said they would send an empty box for the 622. I ended up sending an email to ceo@echostar.com and they were able to help me out. I was installed the next day, with some free service as an apology. :)
