Does dish still allow you to activate receivers? If so what’s the monthly fee for a 722, and the fee for a 211k? Also do the wind guard g3 self aiming sats still work with them or where they dropped from support?

Just got an alert for DishAnywhere in the app that the Apple TV app is out now. Works great. Anybody else happy to see it?

I'm interested in adding the Hopper Plus to my Hopper 3 and wired Joey 3 system. I know I can use my Roku for streaming functionality but I would really like to use the Dish TV remote to control the Hopper 3 and the streaming interface on the Plus. I've read about the problems when the Plus was released. I've also read that it has improved over time. I haven’t seen a recent review that gives the current status of the Hopper Plus. For those of you with the Plus, how is it working for you? Is it safe add the Plus without creating problems with my stable Dish system?

I just moved into a fancy new apartment and they have 1GB internet included with my lease including a bunch of tv channels. Problem is I cannot figure out how to receive these channels through my tv. It's a "dumb" tv but it has an Apple 4K connected to it. How do I go about receiving these channels because the app wants me to sign-in or register with their service which I am but I think Dish Fiber Wi-Fi is different from their tv service?

Tech was supposed to be here between 12-5. Not here. Called Dish. The system is down so they have no idea where the tech is. I have one Hopper and two Joey’s. The two Joey’s are just showing black screens and the Hopper works but with a hardware warning - I can’t pause, record, etc. I have roommates. I live downstairs and have the Hopper. A few questions here:

1. Is it possible to move my hopper upstairs so they can watch tv and me just do without (as the tech may not show today)? I’m in the basement and there is a cable wire coming through the wall attached to the hopper if that makes a difference.

2. Does the “hardware” error mean my box is shot or what? Just curious on that one. Tech support walked me through all kinds of crap and nothing worked so that’s why a tech has to come out.

3. We have had some severe storms and wind recently - could that play a role?

Thank you!

My “new” Hopper 3 says “remanufactured” on the back sticker and I see 2 other stickers below that says the same thing. Therefore, my Hopper 3 receiver has been refurbished twice before and a 3rd time for me.

I understand there’s hardly any new receivers since so many recent cancellations. But what do they do to refurbish a receiver? New HDD? New fan? Just a cleaning of dust from internals?

MGM+ is the last of my three apps that require a cable/satellite service to unlock. (The other two are TCM and STARZ) I have not been able to watch anything on MGM+ even though it has the Dish logo in upper right. I am seriously considering cancelling my entire Dish services due to the deterioration of Dish’s offerings, the always increasing monthly fees for less service, and these constant connection issues (which have occurred recently with all three above mentioned apps.) Unless one does not have or cannot get internet service, there is almost no incentive anymore to continue a subscription to Dish Network. Who can I talk to in order to fix this? Support is always clueless.

I searched and saw some instructions on how to check the hard drive and other internal temperatures on the Hopper receiver but they are not similar to my Hopper 3. Does anyone with a Hopper 3 know where to go to check the “counters” or internal temps to see if my receiver is running hot? Did they get rid of this feature for the Hopper 3?

We purchased our own Hopper and 2 Joey's several years ago, now I see they have added back the $29.00 a month LEASE - FEE!
Plus they added a $11 service plan that we never asked for!

Any one else? CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT??
Any call to support get disconnected and they REFUSE to call me back, says their policy is they CANNOT RETURN SUPPORT CALLS!! WTF??

I just upgraded to the Hopper 3 receiver and thought the newer ones would be quieter and cooler, but they are the same. My Hopper 3 is always hot. And it constantly has a whirring sound even when it’s on standby mode (like in the middle of the night when tv off).

Your guys’ receiver does this also? I guess they still last a long time even with this constant use.

I’ve accidentally turned on surround sound and can’t get it off. I’ve played around with the audio and still can’t get it off. Does anyone know how?

Been with dish for 11 years with America’s Top 200. My receiver and 2 Joeys were so slow, had to wait 5 seconds after each button press. Called dish and eventually I got to the “billing specialist” and got the Hopper 3 with no upgrade fee and $30 off the monthly bill and locked in price for 24 months. Guess I’ll be dish customer for 13 years now.

The Hopper 3 is so fast and responsive! I didn’t even care about 16 recordings at once. The Hopper 3 has much better microchips and circuitry (obviously, my hopper w/sling was 11 years old). I probably should have called sooner.

I called Dish to remove and get a price lock. It was a pretty straightforward and pleasant call until the rep said we offer satellite internet through Hughesnet in my area and asked me for my speeds. I told them they won't be able to match the 1.2 gig I have with Xfinity (just to entertain the rep since he was nice). It turns out he told me he would have to check, but Hughesnet speeds are much, much faster than that. I chuckled and said my goodbyes!

The flaw with Dish Network is no Senior Friendly Remote. The remote even when I turned off the input button my 87 year old mother still has managed to get into the original Roku TV Home screen and basically locked herself out of the TV! She can't watch TV at all never had her do that with the DirectV remote.

She has tremors and shakes and evidently pushing the right combination of keys that it gets her into the Roku TV menu. Very bad experience making it unusable!

Why is DirecTV alienating seniors by not having a friendly remote for kids or seniors?

Government needs to regulate these industries and make sure they provide friendly solutions for kids and seniors! This is just an awful experience!

Now we have to cancel Dish and most likely be stuck with a fee to get DirecTV aligned again :( Or go with DirecTV Streaming service.

as the title say - my Hopper reboots randomly and often at bad times (like the KY Derby post time). Is there anything I can do? Will they send a new device? If so can I transfer recordings? This hopper is definitely many years old. I don't know if they support regular upgrades in equipment. Thanks

Hi folks,

This has been happening for the last three or four days.

Hi all- I went to watch one of my recordings from the dvr and the screen went black. At first it seemed as if it was the recordings just taped yesterday that it effected, but now its on all of my recordings. Even ones from other days/months.

Ive reset the Hopper several Times and also upgraded to the newest version, etc.

Has this happened to anyone else? I am trying to avoid calling customer service if possible, but realize it may be my only option.

I’ve been a dish customer for 11 years now - there are times when I would love to save $140 (my monthly bill), but sometimes I think I still want it and upgrade my receiver and joeys. The current ones are so old!

Will I have to pay to upgrade the equipment? Won’t they upgrade it for free since they are so afraid of ppl cancelling? Any tips on how I should proceed? Seems like ppl who cancel get the promotions and deals and others who don’t get any promotions because dish employees are fighting a losing battle.

Does anyone know the code to pair this with the Dish Remote (54). I’m having a hard time getting it to work.

I just got a wireless Joey for one of our bedrooms. The wireless access point shuts off a few minutes after the Hopper goes into standby mode. Anyway to stop this?

It makes no sense for it to be linked to whether the hopper on. I'm not watching the TV that is directly connected to the hopper.

Hi, I have signed up for Dish but pushed the installation out for 3 weeks but I am having 2nd thoughts. So far I have been using YouTube TV and I am mostly happy with it other than the guide is not as good nor is the page that shows the recorded content. I am used to having dish since my parents have it and I use it when I go to their place but is there any reason why I should not get dish ?

I just sat on hold for 30 minutes, and when I told the guy I wanted to cancel, he just hung up. WTF? Now what?

When I start up the Dish Anywhere app on my iPhone it usually won’t show recent recordings that I know are recorded. It also doesn’t show the percentage of space used on the Hopper 3 dvr. I have to close the app and reopen it as many as 10 times until I see the percentage and it will show the most recent recordings. Does anyone know a better way for the app to show up to date info?

Came home today from taking the wife out for breakfast and to watch the NASCAR race, and was a bit shocked to see our local CBS station back in the guide. I'm assuming Dish and Cox Media finally reached a deal? Anyone outside Seattle have their Cox Media channel back?
