I have noticed recently that I have had 3 or 4 different series that record multiple episodes the same night. Latest example: Lone Star Law, Animal Planet On 8/11 the Hopper 3 recorded the fist episode at 7:59 to 9:08PM (1 hour, 9 minutes). Then I have a second recording of the same episode...

I used the Hopper search feature and found an on demand series. I selected the first episode and selected "Watch It Later". Based on my wired network switch it indicated the Hopper was downloading the show. Today when it went to watch the show it was not found into the Rentals folder (nothing...

Finally got through to customer service, who was clueless about the issue. worthless foriegn call center customer service! Looks to be back online now...

Doesn't work.....reboot and power cycling does not fix the problem

Same here....gotta love this technology advanced service! Endless reboots. :oldmad

Stable DVR, far from it!!!!! Just look at the forums here and the Dish support forums, lots of issues that need to be resolved.

Today when I went to watch a recorded show I noticed it didn't record. I went to view the schedule list to see if there were any conflicts. There was nothing listed. I then went to look at my timers and it too was blank. I believe the issue occured yesterday or the day before. I performed a H3...

Let's not forget the bug that shows the tv show being paused without you pausing it (right at the point of recorded and live)....when you press play button it does not un-pause the show but rather resets the pause timer. You can't get out of this loop. Pressing live tv doesn't work....skip back...

Dish needs to really look into how the Carbon interface hands the transitions between watching a record show from the beginning (while it is still being recorded) and the transition to live tv. I have had black screens occurring after receiving the playback complete window (when the show is...

I too have this really annoying bug. All recording made to date are showing up as already watched. I will try the work around and turn off Smart Prepare. Hopefully this fixes the issue. I hope Dish has logged this as an bug and it is planned for resolution. Amazes me that a bug this obvious was...

As long as you have a decent UPS (preferably with AVR), Dish hardware will function just fine. Most decent UPS' also have overload protection and will prevent you from plugging in too many pieces of hardware into one UPS. UPS with AVR protect hardware from brownouts, surges and short duration...

Is there a way of disabling the notification bar that is found at the bottom of the guide. The only option I see is "Show tips & Tricks Only" or "Show All". It is a waste real estate and to date has provided absolutely no beneficial info. I believe on the HWS that you could disable the...

Netflix works on my new Hopper 3 but on my Joey 4K it says "Netflix will be available soon. Please check back after Feb 18th". I would think the the same app regardless of the device. Odd that it works on one device in the house and not the other! Looks like the software version of the Joey 4K...

Oh man I would love one of these remotes. Count me it for two!!
