I had playback problems on a recorded show on Sunday. I rebooted my Hopper 3 three times before it rebooted properly. PTAT wasn't showing up in the guide. Somehow it got turned off. I turn it on, but still nothing in guide. I then saw it had forgotten all my PTAT settings so had to select...

Check Dish's website first. Some posts are talking about drives that are not compatible like SSD's and EHD's above 7TB.

I live in Santa Fe and don't see channel 293 listed in my all channels list. I went to the H&I website. It shows Albuquerque - Santa Fe should be getting Dish channel 293, so I sent them a message requesting they contact Dish to actually make this channel available to us. They also list phone...

I have a 4 TB EHD which is 98% full with 254 program tiles and 1,858 programs, so the 999 limit doesn't apply to total number of programs.

Dish has this info on their website: "The external hard drive must not use flash memory and should only be a single-hard disk drive." Your SanDisk EHD may not meet this requirement.

I have the same problem that began on August 1st when software version H357 was downloaded at 3:54 AM that morning. It's annoying and makes it more difficult to use the skip back button accurately.

2 or 3 weeks ago I noticed that a timer wasn't going to record new episodes of the "Tonight Show". I used the guide to create a new timer and moved it in the timer list directly behind the old timer where it had exactly the same name. Since then only the new timer worked so I delete the old timer.

It seems to me that the program you are watching live is also being recorded which could explain the behavior of your hopper. I haven't experienced my Hopper 3 jumping to a previously recorded program when watching live TV and pressing pause. If you are watching and recording a program and you...

I don't know of any link on Dish's website that lists specific recommended USB EHD's. I'm using 2 and 4 TB WD EasyStore USB EHD's bought from Best Buy when on sale. Most USB EHD's you can buy on Amazon now are modern and are more energy efficient than items manufactured 5 years ago and should...

I have a 4 port USB hub with on/off button on each port, so I can choose which ports I want to be active. My Hopper 3 is able to power 2 modern USB powered EHD's without adding external power.

I'm in the Mountain time zone, Albuquerque market. Late night is messed up for Jimmy Kimmel Live! The existing timer has no entries until Friday 11/4. Also messed up is The Late Late Show With James Corden which has no entries until Thursday 11/3. They both appear on the Dish guide for...

I wanted to tell people about my absurd experience with Dish when I tried to buy their OTA adapter back in November. As noted, I bought the AirTV Dual Tuner Adapter.

Back in November I read on this site that 2 of my locals could be lost to a contract dispute, so I called Dish about getting the Dish 2 tuner adapter. As I remember, they would not sell me the adapter, but for $150 they could come to my house and install the adapter. I explained that I already...

Do you have broadband internet? If so, you have options to get programming that way.

Let's do some math. $1,000,000,000/5,400,000 customers = $185+ per customer asked by Nexstar. If this is for 36 months, then Nexstar is asking Dish to charge an average of over $5 per month to each Dish customer who currently has channels blacked out. I have both the local Fox and CBS...
