Does anyone else have their Hopper reboot when the Joey gets turned on? Everything was working great until they fixed it.

What a burn ;) Good one. Nothing that exiting. Usually it's a clip from the news or a segment of a nature doc. She and her zookeeper husband are in to herpetology and entomology. I show them interesting clips when they come over and don't like searching an event.

Thanks all for the replies. I wasn't getting the email notifications of replies so I thought no one had opinions on my issues. I've adopted the "do the opposite approach".

While watching something for 10-60 minutes or so and I see something specific I want to record, I rewind to the point I want the recording to start and hit record. I forward past the point where I want my recording to end and then stop recording. More often than not, the recording captures the...

Same here. Had appointment for last Friday and canceled after deciding it was software update related. Dish wouldn't send new H3 via UPS and insisted sending tech (sorry, human being)since I was insisting on a resolution. They tried to get rid of me by saying my case would be referred to tech...

Thanks again for this. Works like a champ. Does anyone know if my guide would still populate if I drop the Dish locals? What's interesting is that the guide populates the program information on all 4 PBS channels . The guide also displays program information on 2 of the 4 NBC channels. On...

Thanks, I was just reading about them a moment ago.

HBO NOW via Roku

I was transferred to loyalty. Front line offered me $5 and loyalty valued my loyalty at $30. I even asked the loyalty rep to just send me the dongle and he apparently was of the opinion that I was only worth $30. It's a shame actually. Prior to losing HBO I had the 250 package, Showtime and...

Just FYI, I just contacted Dish and the offer is not available to me. Go figure. Before the hopper I had 722's and could receive all my local stations via an ota antenna just fine. Now they offer me a $30 credit and the dongle costs $60 :) They wouldn't even just send me the dongle. While...

Thanks. I've already called and the return process is in the works. I also asked the the service rep and was told nothing needs to be done at my house. I've learned to never trust what someone in a sales/service position says. That's why I asked here first. You've confirmed what I suspected...

Thanks everyone for the guidance. I can be kind of thick sometimes, or so my wife says. I suppose she's right :)

I now have the hopper3 and 2 Joeys of some sort. The kid moved and it goes unused.

So, if it wont "hurt anything", It won't help anything either?

Are you saying that leaving that coax unterminated won't have a negative impact on the MOCA or signal quality to the hopper3 or superjoey? I've always wanted things done correctly. I'm guessing that if they send a truck, the tech would replace the splitter or whatever it's called these days...
