Add me to the list. I have 2 500gb and 1 1tb (wd my book) which were attached to H2K before I upgraded to H3 in January. All have been working fine until recently. Now the 500gb drives are still OK, but the 1tb MyBook is not recognized. I have rebooted, unplugged and plugged, etc. with no joy.

I was able to hook up with Chris_S, and after some back and forth, he was able to get me set up. Thanks, DIRT. It seems Dish's system was showing I had 4 orbitals instead of the 3 that I actually have.

Tried to upgrade yesterday via chat (twice). Currently have H2K and Joey 1.0 and would like to have H3 and Joey 2.0. Was told by both CSR's I chatted with that I couldn't upgrade because the H3 is not compatible with my area. I am in mid-Missouri and my locals are on 61.5. All main channels...

Please put me on the list. I am interested in a Hopper 3 upgrade. Thanks.

rglore, thanks for the response. After the panic had subsided, I tried exactly what you suggested, and things are back to normal. I switched the USB ports which forced a reboot, and everything is working again.

Started watching an OTA channel this morning, and everything was fine. After about a half hour, I suddenly got the "The offair signal has been lost" screen (Error 739). After waiting a few minutes thinking it may be a glitch with the station, still no signal. I then tried other stations (no...

Time Remaining on Recording I know this may be a little anal, but I would like to be able to press Select to see the time remaining when watching a recording. If I remember correctly, it worked this way on the 722. I know I can pause and un-pause to see the time remaining, but it would be...

I moved back home before my upgrade, but they did not change the locals (yet). So I have not had to "move" back.

All cabling is RG6 and has been in place for some time. My problem is with the Joey, not the Hopper. It is about 20' from the point of entry to the Hopper. I tried running a temporary cable from the tap to the Joey, but that did not correct the problem. I tried unplugging the Joey...

I have a 1 Hopper and 1 Joey installation. I'm wanting to move the Joey from it's current location close to the main TV to a TV in the upstairs bedroom since we have purchased an HD TV to replace the current SD TV there. Current setup - this works Solo node installed at dish approximately...

Still waiting for S237. However, since my Hopper install on 1/11/13, my Caller ID had not worked until 2/13/13 when it suddenly started working. I had called Dish previously because the Caller Id was not working despite hard resets, etc. They had told me the new firmware should fix the...

I upgraded from a VIP 722 to 1 Hopper and 1 Joey a week ago yesterday. I'm having 2 small problems I'm seeking advice on. The first problem is Caller ID. I've read here that some are having intermittent problems with getting Caller ID, but it can be restored with a reset. However, I've not...

Please PM me about upgrading to the Hopper. Thanks.

Apparently, this is correct. The ext3 file system is not native to the Mac OS. However, there is a driver from Paragon that can be added to give access to ext3 drives. For those who may not know, you can boot a Mac into "single user mode" which gives access to the unix command line. I do...

I've read here that this can be done using Linux. Can this be done with a Mac (OS x 10.5.8) using Terminal? I've purchased a larger drive for my 722 DVR, and want to use the current drive for our computers. Thanks.
