I have two WD EHDs attached to the Hopper in the living room. External Device 1 is 750 Gb and External Device 2 is 1 Tb. The ED2 disappears frequently and power cycling it usually fixes the problem. It is just annoying and I hope Dish will fix the problem with a software upgrade. I used both...

Just upgraded from a 722 system with 1.75 Tb of EHD stored programming and the Hopper not only reads the data as is but let's me hook up both EHDs concurrently. My installer was anxious to remove my DPP44 switch from the system since my 2H/4J system does not need it. I already had a 1000.4...

Got it formatted and on the Hopper. Thanks guys.

I am going to Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Disc Management and the drive shows up as WD SmartWare (F:). When I right-click the format command is grayed out. I guess I will go to the DOS command prompt and use a DOS Format Command and see if that works. I guess this odd behavior...

Got a new 2H, 4J system installed and it is working great. Here are two operational questions: 1. I have a WD 500 Gb EHD that was on mt 211K that I want to use on one of the Hoppers. The Hopper will not recognize it so the it can be reformatted and I have tried to reformat it in Windows 7...

Thanks to all for the quick replies for the EHD question. Looking forward to making the change as soon as it becomes available. Looks like I can remove my DP44 switch and replace with the Duo Node for the Hopper(s) and the Joeys. Does the Node require a power inserter like the DP44? Also...

Does the Hopper/Joey system support the EHD's that I have full of archived material through the USB ports on the Hopper?

i have not been able to get the Netflix App to run since I got the OTA 3.1 update. Do I need to go to my Netflix account and reauthorize the Revue? HBO Go and Epix seem to work okay. The screen shows"Launching Netflix," shows the red Netflix screen for a long time and then says "unable to...

I am having the "Loss of Satellite Signal" also. I can immediately retrieve the signal by presssing the Program Guide button. Probably the operating system. Guess we will have to wait for an update?

Thanks for the info. I'll talk to the manager again and see if he can point me to the local installer and see how the sytem is setup.

I am moving my Mom to an assisted living facility. The manager says they have basic Dish Network service to all the apartments. She has a 42" Vizio HDTV. Guess I will need to get her her a 211 receiver to hook on to the network to receive the HD signal? I see lots of folks with HD sets but...

DustoMan, Thanks for the help on EPIX. I authorized my device and all is cool.

EPIX Movie Bookmark Question When I click on the EPIX bookmark, the app loads and I can select from the list of movies; but order to view the movie I have to go to the Chrome browser and access the EpixHD site and logon with my Dish signon to download a movie for viewing. Is this normal? I...

When should we expect updates to the Revue from Google I/O? Will these updates solve any of the network viewing issues? Are these updates expected to address the Adobe Flash Player issues? Just got the Revue and it was easy to setup but the lack of network viewing capability is the biggest...

Any talk about ESPNU in HD or is that a dead horse?
