    Teardown video/photos of Hopper 3 or similar receivers

    Maybe in reality, they use different manufacturers for the HDs as this was as of 2015/2016 and the HD manufacturers can always discontinue products and come up with new models.

    Mediaset Italia

    What is going on with Mediaset Italia (MEDITA), channel 2020? I'm just seeing 4 hour blocks of "Non annunciato" (To Be Announced in Italian) over the next couple of days. Are they off the air?

    Newgarden wins legitimately this time around. O'Ward so close. He'll be second guessing that for a long time. Disappointment with Herta, he appeared to have the car. Kirkwood came from who knows where to finish top ten. Veekay recovers from unsafe release penalty back to 23rd to finish top 10...

    Program guide API

    There are 3 major guide data providers for North America: Gracenote/TMS who is used by DIRECTV, Optimum, Cox, Verizon FiOS, Xfinity and most of the ex-TWC/Brighthouse Spectrum systems. Schedules Direct uses them for their data, and they also power the listings for FireTV, HDHomeRun, GoogleTV...

    Teardown video/photos of Hopper 3 or similar receivers

    Yes, but note earlier the comments about the ST2000VM003 (Seagate) being seemingly the only supported drive. Based on these pictures, there might be another one. (Or at least there was another one, if it wasn't obsoleted by a newer firmware version??)

    Program guide API

    Thanks for the info, I'll check this out but this is a great place to start! I was looking into Zap2it (which looks free) and Rovi (which has a good structured API, but I worry is old and not long term supported). And I didn't know about Gracenote being the main guide supplier. I just searched...

    Batteries are in correctly and I tested them. I'll take them out overnight before I order a new remote tomorrow.

    Passkeys: is this finally the solution to the password problem?

    Every so often, I rant about the problems with passwords. (Don’t believe me? Here’s the proof.) Passwords are a real problem because they go against human nature. If they’re complex enough to be unhackable, they’re not simple enough to be memorized. If you have enough complexity and don’t reuse...

    That is a Hopper 3, I wonder if they all use Toshiba 2TB inside, always thought it would be Seagate or Western Digital.

    Program guide API

    DIRECTV's online guide API is token protected, and it only returns the channels you subscribe to, the RSNs you are eligible to receive in your zip code, and doesn't provide listings for the PPV Event channels. The guide data is powered by Gracenote so you can also get most of the exact same data...

    Program guide API

    Hi, long term lurker, first time poster! I’m wondering if you guys know how I can get accurate program guide info via API for Directv and Dish and Optimum. Mostly for sports, but should be searchable for anything. I see lots of services that collect the info for live sports and put it in a doc...

    Very good point. The positive sides of the batteries should both face toward the top of the remote.

    No lights on the remote is bad batteries or bad remote. Even though you said you changed batteries, change them again and make sure they're facing the right way. Both batteries face the same direction.
