Anyone who has been through this, please share your experiences. I'm both disappointed and angry right now. I had an appointment over the weekend to get Dish service installed, after moving into a different house. The technicians arrived and started doing their site survey and couldn't find...

After having the Hopper and PTAT for a couple of months, I've found 2 big advantages of it: 1) When someone says did you see such and such last night. A good example is this year's Kennedy Center Honors awards. I had no idea they were going on. PTAT recorded them. Later that night, a friend said...

Want to clarify: I saw this listed on Solid Signal http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=es179048 Maybe it is simply a Wi-Fi adapter and is mislabeled as a Sling adapter???

Has anyone verified if the ES179048 sling adapter for the 722 (the one that looks like a jump drive) will work with the Hopper?

Hey Fiveft20in, the one I have works and is free. :) I was mostly wondering why the rewind, fast forward, etc. buttons are colored with those same color codes. I thought maybe there was some special way to make them function as those buttons.

So I'm using an old 5.4 IR remote with one of my Joey's, because I have the HDMI going to 2 rooms. The remote works good, but I can't figure out if there is a way to send the Red, Green, Yellow and Blue buttons. I see that the Rewind, Back, 30 second skip, and Forward, are colored as if I might...

I wanted to wait until I'd had the Hopper for a week until I responded to this thread. I upgraded last Saturday, and I am comparing my experience to a 922. Very sluggish when entering channel numbers (I.E. typing 140 to go directly to ESPN). Many times I've had it completely miss picking up a...

Thanks so much, all. I appreciate it.

I'm finding that the 3 tuners is fine for a family of 3. One of the things we've had to do is re-train ourselves when watching Prime Time programming live. I've coached everyone to go to the PTAT folder on the DVR and play the programs from there instead of tuning to one of the 4 networks live...

Hi! Who do I contact to in order to report a problem with the Game Finder app on the Dish Hopper DVR? (Hoping the DIRT team can pass this along.) Here is the problem I've discovered: I have Ohio University Bobcats football in my favorites list. They are playing a game on Friday the 23rd...

Just FYI- This was previously a 211K EHD. I had to hook the drive up to a Windows machine, wipe all of the partitions, then hook it up to the 922 again. Once I did that, I got the popup and I was able to use it. Does this behavior make any sense to anyone?

Hooking Up EHD to 922 for first time tonight! Getting Hopper tomorrow! Yep, I hooked it up and I saw the light come on like the drive was busy. But I see no indication that it is being used or formatted or anything. It's also not showing up in my Transfer menu. What do I need to do to get it...

Very disappointed about this policy!

Can anyone help? Am I really screwed? I'm finally upgrading to Hopper now that the OTA module is available. However, now that my installation appointment is scheduled, I am unable to order from the Dish Online Store. I get the message: You have an open appointment, please complete your request...

So Matt, is it reasonable for me to expect that you will relay this information to the proper people at Dish to help resolve this issue? Trying to determine to what extent you are able to help.

Matt, What Iceberg posted here is EXACTLY right. Two additional transmitters/channels have been added (22 and 47) and the original Digital channel 15 has been reconfigured. So right now, I have NO OTA guide data for 22 or 47. The guide is correct for 15.1 but not 15.2, which still shows the...

The local broadcast group Grey Television, has added a CBS and Fox affiliate on 2 new channels in my market (Parkersburg, WV / Marietta, OH). These channels have been on the air since September 1st. I did a new scan for local channels on my VIP 922, and I can view the channels, but the guide is...

Man, am I glad people are starting to stir up this thread again! That OTA module is all that's stopping me from getting the Hopper. Scott, please keep us updated on this. My 2 year contract is almost up. I'm chomping at the bit to get Hopper when this is available!

In the words of Dana Carvey as President George H.W. Bush: "Not gonna do it! Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture!" Nope! I GOTTA have OTA! There are certain customers who have "moved" to the nearest campground, therefore OTA is the only way they can receive certain channels. Are ya with me? ;-)

Are we talking about DirecTV BS Talk?

This may sound crazy, but my wife and I use it so that we don't miss the charlie brown specials. We put "charlie brown" in a Dish Pass and set it for all channels, so that it gets recorded whenever and wherever it comes on. Great feature!

...and just to clarify when setting up "Dish Pass" online, it will search for and record the search on ALL CHANNELS, just like Dish Pass does? If so, this is welcome news!

I would be more thrilled with the 922 if it would just do Dish Pass!

Reporting these hoping someone from Dish Network is reading or that someone will pass this along. First Issue: This is reproducable 100% of the time. Sort recording in folders by title. Go into one of the folders and delete all of the shows in the folder. After doing this, clicking the Back...

Possible Bug in S109 New issue since getting the S109 firmware. I put my 922 in Standby last night before bed. The standby screen saver came on but it did not shut off the Optical Audio output. After hitting the power button several more times, taking the unit in and out of standby, the audio...
