    I have had problems with my OTA Dish recordings showing up pixelated. DISH has no remedy, but it started several years ago when Dish had a software upgrade. It seems sporadic--sometimes if I restart the Hopper with Sling, it works ok. Not sure which generation of OTA adapter I have--but tried...

    I had dealt with this issue when we downsized from 2 Hopper with Slings to 1 Hopper with Sling (and recordings)--it was easy to just transfer those to an external HD, but they were still in DISH Format which does need an active account to play, but several years ago, got a Panasonic Dual DVD/VHS...

    Thank you but I have both in my possession and can choose which to activate/ deactivate/ reactivate...because we had both and now only need one. So I don't need to replace anything...just choosing for future...

    After almost 15 years with DISH and several receivers--had 2 receivers--upgraded 2021 so both are Hoppers with Sling (change in usage and failure of newer Hopper to solve OTA recording pixellation issues), am downgrading to just one Hopper with Sling (not choosing Hopper 3 due to extra cost on...

    I tried the texting, once I got it set up to text direct from my cell phone (not Google phone), was able to rent the movie, BUT again, it showed up in my VOD Rentals in the DVR Recordings section PLUS another movie, again, I did not rent. I spent over an hour with DISH Advanced Support and...

    It is but not the main number which is a non-cell number. No blocking but we use Hangouts for messaging and it's a Google number.
  7. General DISH™ Discussion
    I have tried repeatedly to text to the above number and no response at all. Have called DISH so many times in past few months--seems like they are just giving up--very sad. A merger headed up by AT&T would be a disaster--after having worked with AT&T with wireless internet phones and phone service.

    I tried texting to the number above MOVIE--nothing happens. Before that I had texted Join--no response?????

    Thanks! I completely disconnected internet to DISH as ANOTHER movie showed up that I did not order or anything like it. Noone else in our household and both retired. We live in rural area where noone else in range of our router which has password, etc and is firewalled. I checked my router and...

    (Back to DBS since old C Band days, so bear with me--not sure if this thread exists already. Had this problem since June where when trying to use the Pay Per View Certificates (free in the Stars and Stripe Pack for Veteran husband), whenever I ordered a VOD movie--either on MyDish app, or on...

    I had an ongoing problem with this feature. I could not view My DVR or access any programming from a remote location with broadband, although I previously was able to several months ago. I tried every possible solution--checked with Router (Linksys) support, ISP provider, DISH local...

    Additional OTA guide channel has disappeared--that being our CBS local, KELO ch 11-1, so that's most of our network locals. Only one left is NBC Sent from my SM-T310 using DBSTalk mobile app

    DishTim--Call DISH and insist they note this as a problem with the last software update. Try leaving the receiver unplugged for more than 1/2 hour. I also had to have the dual node replaced and the LNB. I also think the problem is reinforced by the hot receiver--so my husband bought 4 x 2"...

    Since then, this send Hopper has "lost signal" and then rebooted itself and regained access to signal. But, if there is something wrong in RAM, how would a cold reboot "fix" that problem?:confused:
  17. Hopper System Support Forum
    Does the tech have a way to electronically test the LNBF at the Dish because, after the looonnnng depowering--pulling plug for 20 minutes, the 2nd Hopper that had the LNB drift error message now does not show that message and not having any issues with this Hopper????? What can cause this...
  18. Hopper System Support Forum
    What should the technician do to correct this problem? What might have caused it--after being installed and working ok for 2 months?
  19. Hopper System Support Forum
    In another forum or topic thread, I read that someone with a similar problem pulled the power for a longer period of time than 10 secs, so I did that yesterday--for about 20 minutes. So far, today, have played back all DVR recordings and resumed paused live tv WITHOUT ANY SKIPS or stuttering or...
  20. Hopper System Support Forum
    The past few days (have had my Hopper since Nov 9) all of a sudden, after a few hours of usage, any DVR recordings I start to play or if I pause any live tv and then start to reply or resume, the resulting play is full of skips, jerky, loss of sound, recorded content--really unwatchable. So all...
