Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

[jthackery]

I am getting an error 41 on the hopper (or connected Joey) when trying to add a new timer. I only have 33 timers setup. The max should be 96, correct? Anyway, I went ahead and deleted a couple because it said to add a new one I should delete one. Well now I have 31 timers and I still receive the same message that I cannot add a new timer. Anyone else having this issue or anyone find a way to fix? I have tried resetting the hopper and that did not work. I also contacted dish and gave them the software version and such I am on and they are looking into it but not sure when it will be addressed.



I have a 2 hopper, 3 joey setup with a sling adapter.

I am not sure but I thought I seen a menu which allowed you to change the number of timers.

I think you are seeing the max events to keep under DVD defaults. I have looked everywhere and don't see anything about timers.

The number of timers is restricted by a software limitation. I also can't imagine why a user would need/want to lower the number of timers allowed - there's really no need to do that.

Isn't that software limit 96 or something close?

That's a number I recall from previous discussions. Remember, there's "timers" and there's "events" too. There's limits on both (you could reach the 'event' limit before hitting the 'timer' limit) and the first one reached, stops everything.

Nonetheless, something is odd in your scenario.
