New Customer - Impression After One Week!

... My Harmony remote works fine as long as the wooden doors are open, but there is a known compatibility glitch between the HDMI IR Blaster and the Hopper, so the Harmony remote simply will not control the Hopper with the doors closed. ...

I also use Harmony 650s, with the equipment in a closed cabinet. The problem with the blaster is that Dish using a different IR modulation frequency than most. I think they do this to avoid interference from some plasma TVs. Anyway, I now use this IR blaster: Amazon product ASIN B00OVAPS3YIt's not perfect, but it works well enough.

autohop has a delay based on contract negotiations. I believe it is 1 day for ABC, 3 days for FOX and 7 days for NBC and CBS.
