Re: Dish TV Question
According to the Wally User manual, if you have internet service in your home, you can connect the Wally to your router via an ethernet cable or a Wi-Fi connection (optional adapter required) to access your Hopper 3 via the Dish Anywhere app. Keep in mind that each active Wally connected to your Hopper will cost you a $7 per month service cost.218Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish Wally Receiver DVR Hard Drive
As best as I can tell, the Wally has 2 USB 1.0/2.0 ports. By specs, a USB 1/2 port will only provide 0.5Ma power to each port/device or 1.0Ma to a single device if only one device is plugged in. An external HD like any USB 3.0 Seagate Expansion HD requires 0.9Ma of power for max playback. Therefor, you will get good performance (no buffering) from any USB 3.0 HD as long as nothing else is attached to the other port. However, if you add an OTA tuner and/or a WiFi dongle, the USB 3.0 HD will periodically pause playback and start buffering. If you want to use a USB 3.0 HD plus the other goodies, you should run them through an externally powered USB 3.0 hub (That's what I have on mine) or get an externally powered HD. Don't forget, you will have to register your DVR function with DISH for a $40 extra fee. FYI, Newegg has a sale on now for the Seagate 2TB Expansion USB 2.0/3.0 HD HERE.2KViews0likes0Comments- 398Views0likes0Comments
Re: Terk FM + Antenna Connection
An external loop antenna is typically attached to a receiver to strengthen the AM frequency signal. Your receiver should have a separate FM connector on the back for your external Terk FM antenna. If the receivers connections are labeled (FM, Gnd) or colored (Red, BLack) be sure to connect the Terk Black/Gnd wire to the receivers' Black/Gnd connector. To help reduce static noise, locate the antenna away from any hidden electric wiring.227Views0likes0Comments
