Great New features for the Dish Hopper!

The award winning Dish Hopper Whole-Home™ HD DVR just got even better!

New upgrades to the Dish Hopper system include:

Recover recently deleted recordings (DVR Recycle Bin).  Hopper customers now can restore shows that have been deleted within the last 48 hours from their recordings.  To do this, go to the DVR menu and select the “Deleted recordings” tile in My Recordings to access all your shows that were deleted within the last 48 hours.  Select (highlight) the shows to restore and then select “Restore”.

Watch the hottest TV shows, movies and sports based on what other Dish Network customers are watching.  There are two ways to see “what’s hot” on Dish.  You can access this feature from the main menu by selecting “What’s Hot” and select shows based on genres, locals vs. national, on now, on next and on today.  Using your Hopper remote, you can also use the color keys (red: genres, green: local vs. national, yellow: on now, on next, Today).  Content will be sorted by most popular to least popular.  You can also access this feature by pressing the blue color key on your remote from the guide.

Use your Bluetooth®  headset with your Hopper!  No need to disturb others while watching your favorite Dish programming, now Hopper customers can listen to the audio of their programming using their Bluetooh headset.  (Feature not available on Joey and only 2 headsets can be connected at one time).  To set this up go to the settings and menu, select Bluetooth and then select find devices.

GameFinder App:  Follow the scores of your favorite teams and quickly change channels to a new game while watching live TV.  To access the GameFinder app from live TV, press the blue color key on your remote and highlight the game you want to watch and press select.  If the game is available you can watch or record the event.

Why is my screen fuzzy? - A quick fix!





If your TV shows a fuzzy, snowy, blue or black screen there are a few simple steps you can take to fix this. With your fuzzy or blue screen, you may also see a message “No Signal” or “Unusable Signal” on your screen—This just means your TV is not getting programming input for the tuned channel from your satellite or cable receiver.  If this was a Dish Satellite error, you would receiver an error message usually in a blue box with a number in the upper corner—if you do get this message, write down the number and the channel you were watching and time of day you receive this message and call customer support.  If you have Satellite TV or cable TV and have a receiver (satellite or cable box), first make sure this is turned on.  If you have determined that your receiver is turned on (with Dish Network satellite you will see a light on the box) make sure your TV is tuned to the correct channel; usually to channel 3 or one of the auxiliary inputs on your TV—especially if you have HDTV you may need to have your TV tuned to your HDMI input.  There is usually an input button both on your TV and your television remote.  If you are not sure where your input button is, consult your television manual.  If you have a Dish Network dual receiver (one receiver that services two televisions) your TV2 (usually the TV that does not have the receiver nearby) will usually be set to channel 60 or channel 73.  If none of these steps fix your issue, call customer service.  Dish Network customer service is available 24/7, 7 days a week.  In most cases, your issue can be resolved over the phone by tech support.

Dish Network Tailgater named CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award Honoree

Dish Networks innovative portable remote viewing satellite dish, the Tailgater, was recently named an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree.  This prestigious award was sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) ®, the producer of the International CES, is the world’s largest consumer technology tradeshow which has been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976.  The innovations entries are judged based on engineering qualities including technical specs and materials used, aesthetic and design qualities, the product’s intended use/function and user value and unique/novel features that consumers would find attractive.  The Dish Tailgater is an ideal solution for Dish Network customers to watch their TV while tailgating, camping, for use with an RV or any outdoor activity giving Dish customers full access to all their satellite programming packages on-the-go.  The Dish Tailgater is lightweight (weighing around 10 pounds), portable, HDTV compatible, and easy to use.  The Tailgater is also currently the lowest-priced portable satellite dish available.  Dish Networks Tailgater automatically locates satellite positions thus eliminating the need for manual adjustment.  Set up of the Tailgater takes only a few minutes, and connects to the compatible Dish Network receiver and the customer’s television allowing viewers who have an HDTV to experience high definition virtually anywhere they travel, without the high-cost of other auto-tuning portable satellite dishes.  To experience the most HD available on the go with Dish Network satellite, visit our website to order  Dish Satellite TV  today!

So what do you get when you mix a kangaroo and satellite TV?

It’s not a joke, it’s Dish Network’s new system that will change the way Dish customers watch TV.  The Dish Hopper will revolutionize the way you watch TV.  Some of the unique features include SRS TruVolume technology to prevent volume fluctuations, a two-terabyte hard drive (for those of you who do not know what a terabyte is—well it’s huge) which allows up to 250 hours of HD or up to 1,000 hours of SD recording, SiriusXM satellite music channels including station logos, Share any DVR recordings between any HDTV in your home, and you can also access hundreds of On Demand titles even if you are not connected to the Internet with DISH Unplugged.  The hopper also includes three satellite tuners, TV Everywhere on mobile devices with Sling® Adapter, picture-in-picture for watching any two channels simultaneously and you can also record up to 6 live HD channels at once.
To use the Dish Hopper Whole-Home HD DVR entertainment system you will need a “Joey” device.  The Dish Joey gives you the ability to have full DVR functionality on every TV, including the ability to pause, rewind, fast-forward, and record live TV.  Combined with a Joey, the Dish Hopper offers even more features such as a 750 MHz Broadcom process (the fastest satellite receiver processor available today for a quick, responsive on screen guide), a “remote control finder” alert, a fast, graphical easy-to-use tile-based user interface with predictive search. Not only is the Dish Hopper small and sleek, but it also is approximately 50 percent more energy efficient for a four-room installation than previous models.
My personal favorite feature is called PrimeTime AnytimeÔ which allows customers (with only one click) to record using a single tuner all of the Primetime TV programming from ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX.  Once the customer activates this feature, PrimeTime Anytime records network programming in high definition, where available, every night and stores the programming for eight days after they have aired giving you an on-demand library of around 100 hours of Primetime TV shows.  Forget to record your favorite primetime show from last week? No problem! Just use this feature and your covered! Some other features include “apps” that give Dish TV viewers real time access to Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, games, news, weather, sports stock options and photo sharing.
