Who has tried this? Did you succeed? I wanted to connect the damned thing to my bedroom TV which uses a Joey. Fat Chance ... at least if you follow the dish directions. I'm guessing that you cannot connect Alexa to a Joey. Seems rather short sighted of Dish.

Thanks, guys.

When I turn my Hopper 3 on, it shows the home screen with a program running in the upper right corner window. The initial program selected is almost never a channel that we watch. For the last few weeks, it has been HLN ... 202 or something like that. We never watch that channel. Prior to...

I have a Hopper 3 and have had a Samsung 55KS800D (the Costco version of the KS8000) for 3 weeks. I have a 4 year old Samsung 50" 1080p set that works really well. I have both sets sitting side by side in the family room. My hopper connects to a Yamaha HDR with 2 HDMI outputs. This lets me...

Beginning this morning, cannot set a timer for either future or currently showing program. Get a message "Timer Creation Failed, Try again later" error 1281 This is on a hopper 3 that is about 3 months old. I have never seen this before. Thought I'd ask before I whine at tech support.

Have a hopper 3 and am thinking about getting a 4K TV. How much 4k content is available on dish right now? Have looked at the dish web site and couldn't find a good answer. Also, most 4k tvs upscale all lower input to 4k. If you have a 4k tv, how does standard HD look on your 4K box. Is...

Hi, have had the H3 for about 6 weeks. Have 2 hard drives connected to the device. All was fine and both were working with the hopper until a day ago when they disappeared from the DVR display. Have tried unplugging, power recycle, etc. I cannot believe that both drives failed at the same...

I now have the 50 remote and very much like it. Voice is very convenient for a number of things, even for something as simple as changing channels. The arrangement of the recall and mute buttons is the same as the 52 remote, but since their placement on the remote is changed because of how you...

Got my 50 about a week ago. I really like this remote, even though the key layout is the same for the buttons below the touch pad and the 52 above the number keys I am not hitting the recall button accidentally. I like to record football games and start watching when the game is about half way...

I've only had the H3 & the 52 remote since the 1st of the month. I'm happy with both. I've had dish for over 16 years and gone through so many devices, good and not so good. I've made a number of wrong button presses (all during footfall games) where I hit recall instead of pause. This is...

My Hopper with Sling just died ... dead dead dead I do want to upgrade to Hopper 3.

I'm considering downgrading from America's Everything package to AT-250. I asked Dish what channels I'll be giving up, and they couldn't (or wouldn't) give me a straight answer. According to the Dish web page, AT-250 has 260+ channels, and Everything has 315+ channels. That's a 55 channel...

I'm having the same problem. I've noticed that when I start out, the loop is a few minutes, and gets shorter and shorter. This is a serious sirius problem. Unless they fix it ... and I haven't a clue as to whether or not they are even aware of it, the app is useless.

Guys I don't see a difference between OTA and the Dish version. More importantly, neither does my wife.

It makes perfect sense. Thanks
