    No sound unless you restart Joey or pull out HDMI and plug back in.

    Try switching the TV to a different input and then back to the input with the Joey.

    Can you mirror Hopper 3 on 2nd TV?

    With my Hopper 1, I used a Component video cable to mirror the TV in the kitchen. You could also use the composite video out if you do not need HD video quality on the kitchen TV.

    SD Channels Go Dark?

    I read an article that said over 85% percent of the TV households in the US have at least 1 HDTV, but less than 40% actually watch HD programing on them. I had a co-worker that bought a new 70" HDTV and was wondering why the picture was so bad. He had a SD receiver connected with a composite...

    Hopper OTA guide information

    The good thing about the Dish OTA module is that it will scan in ALL OTA channels and you can set manual timers to record anything you want. My wife has about five manual timers set to record shows everyday from sub channels (ME, RTV, Antrenna TV, etc) that do not have guide info. We have one...

    No Auto Hop on CBS & ABC

    This is the result of the new contracts that Dish made with CBS and ABC. The Autohop is disabled for several days after the show airs. I believe it is 7 days for CBS and 3 days for ABC O&O stations.

    Recorded Programs Cannot be Deleted

    We have four programs that were recorded over the last three days that cannot be deleted. They were recorded using a manual timer from an OTA sub-channel. They all play fine but there is no option to delete. The program icon still has the red dot in the upper left hand corner like it was still...

    Joeys Pixelating Bad on SD Sports

    I have found that almost all SD channels look bad with sports (on any receiver) because of fast moving action. The SD channels are compressed too much to keep up with fast movement. Why would you watch 140 ESPN in SD when it is available in HD ?

    Dish VIP211k will not properly scan and add an OTA Channel(s)?

    I have a DTVPal that does the same with KTVT channel 11 in the DFW area. The station transmits on channel 18 (virtual 11) but shows as channel 70.1 in the DTVPal guide. It has always done this. It displays correctly on all other Dish receivers that I have had. It tunes correctly when I press...

    Can I have 2 tv's on 1 dish hopper

    Yes, on the Hopper all outputs are always live. I have two TVs connected with a HDMI splitter, one in another room connected to the component output, and a RF modulator connected to the composite output, all on the same Hopper.

    Subliminal Messages

    Sounds like audio from a Dish commercial. Somebody, somewhere, left the wrong audio turned up or hit play at the wrong time.

    HD Quality? PT Anytime? onDemand?

    The big 4 network locals can always be tuned in using one tuner because they are on one satellite transponder and Hopper is set up to tune them this way. This works even if PT anytime is turned off. In the DFW area the Dish locals are quite good but not as good as OTA. I bought the OTA tuner...

    Hopper/Joey DVR Tuner confusion

    The hopper has 3 tuners and the regular joey has none so it uses a tuner from the Hopper to watch live TV. The Super Joey adds 2 tuners for a total of 5. You can record or watch the four major networks using just 1 tuner. You can also add the OTA module so you can watch or record one...

    OTA question

    I have OTA dongles for both of my Hoppers. I have never had a problem recording from either one of them. In the DFW area there are over 50 channels/sub-channels that are not available on Dish. Many are shopping or informercials, but my wife watches and records several shows every day from...

    RF out to 2nd tv?

    Make sure the modulator is set to a channel that is not used as "transmit" channel for a TV station in your area. You can obtain this information from "rabbitears.info". I have four UHF modulators combined with an OTA antenna feeding a distribution system that feeds the whole house and it...

    OTA transfer problems with EHD

    I have had this problem with all transfers since the software update about a month ago. Mine goes to 4 seconds left in the transfer and then stops. The only way out is to do a reset. I have had the EHDs for over a year and a half and never had any problems until that software upgrade. The...

    Hopper and 4K

    Yes you can connect the Hopper to a 4K TV. The TV will up-convert the signal the same as it does any other source.

    Transfers to EHD

    I am having the same problem since the last software upgrade. Every time that I have tried to transfer shows, it has hung up before the transfer has finished. The only way out is to reboot the Hopper. I never had a problem until the last software upgrade.

    VIP622 TO HOPPER

    With the current software the add on OTA tuner for the Genie it will only tune and record OTA channels that are in the Direct TV database and program guide. It will not scan in other OTA channels. With the OTA tuner for the Hopper it will scan in and record all receivable local channels just...

    HDTV and Analog Dish Signal

    720p or 1080p will not make a big difference. Analog video will not look as good on a HD flatscreen as it does on an analog CRT set. Some sets seem to handle SD video better than others. The only way to fill a 16x9 HD TV screen with SD 4x3 video is to Zoom or Strech it, which in my opinion...

    Hopper not outputting 5.1 Dolby Digital

    I have not had any problems getting DD 5.1 with a HDMI cable from either a Hopper or Joey. I use the low cost cables from Monoprice.com. Are there any settings on your AV receiver that would affect the audio input?
