You should be able to backup the timers to the remote and then copy it to the new Hopper once you link the remote to it. I do not remember the specific steps at this time, but I'm sure another member will chime in.

Though I've not yet had time to try it, I've noticed that the new software update might have added some new DLNA capabilities. With the "play to" feature in Windows Media Player, which allows it to act as a digital media controller (DMC), one of my hoppers shows up as a digital media renderer...

When you rebooted your iPad did you turn it off and then turn it back on? Or did you actually restart it which occurs after you press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time for a few seconds until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears? If not, I would suggest trying...

Okay, just to give an update. I chatted with Dish this morning and explained this problem to them. They had me go through their procedural troubleshooting and had me do an RBR the results are just the same. They suggested that I delete every recording that is naving this issue, unplugged the...

No, you can pause and rewind live TV without recording the show. Really, it works just like you would expect it to on both the hopper and joey.

The football game was on a completely different station from The Mentalist so it would not have been affected by sporting events and timing on the guide.

Or, if you need to do a hard reset unplug it and plug it back in.

If you needed to you could purchase a USB powered laptop cooler and plug it into your hopper. I have one of those plugged into one of my hoppers and it helps.

If you have two hoppers and several joeys do you know if you can use the remote from one joey linked to one hopper, copy the timers to the remote, link the joey to the other hopper, and then transfer them back?

Well, I checked the signal on the Hopper that is experiencing the problem and found out that some of the signal strengths are so low that they are registered as a 30 and some of them are not even locked. I seem to remember that some of the signals were much stronger when the system was first...

I didn't expect the fact that it stopped in the middle of the recording to tell me anything, but I just found it strange. Every recording that has this issue has been on a different day that's why my first suspicion was the hard drive. I'll still check the signal later to make sure that is not...

It could be that the signal is interrupted, but I do not remember any bad weather which would have caused the recordings to have this issue. Plus, if The hopper is anything like the 722 it would tell me that part of the recorded portion was lost which I do not see in this case. When I have the...

There are a few shows I have recorded and when I watch them they play about halfway through and then abruptly stop in the middle of the recording. It will then return to the DVR menu as though the episode is over. It is like the recording is so corrupted that the Hopper thinks it has...

I'm having a similar issue on one of my Hoppers but I do not receive an error code. There are a few shows I have recorded and when I watch them they play about halfway through and then abruptly stop in the middle of the recording. It will then return to the DVR menu as though the episode is...

You can get a Wi-Fi adapter that works on the Hopper for $25 from dish that should be able to receive a signal from your phone or router if it has Wi-Fi. Your installer might also be able to get it for you for free but I am not completely sure since it does not sound he is directly from dish...
