    Transfer recordings from HWS to H3?

    I've just completed the Carbon UI update on the HWS, and read several posts here and elsewhere saying the ethernet transfer from HWS to H3 worked. Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

    Transfer recordings from HWS to H3?

    How do I know if I have the carbon UI? My UI still appears the same as it always has. Nevermind, I found the thread on how to update it. Going now. Without a solid answer on the DVR transfer working I'm buying an EHD.

    Transfer recordings from HWS to H3?

    Is it possible to transfer my recordings to my new hopper 3? Getting the upgrade tomorrow afternoon, and I have several shows I'd like to not lose. I don't have an external drive at the moment, never needed one, but I'll go buy one tonight if it's possible.

    Being forced to watch Viceland

    How would some HWS have a different UI than others? Mine updates everynight, no change to anything I see.

    Your hws doesn't have those options regarding power on channel.

    Being forced to watch Viceland

    There are no leftover timers for History2, and I have a HWS, no 3 yet, working on the upgrade. I had forgot about the lockout, that should solve the problem. Thanks!

    Being forced to watch Viceland

    Technically not forced, I know... Issue I have with it is, about 6 out of 10 times I turn my hopper on, it's on Viceland. I've never watched this channel, the title of the programs I've seen does not agree with me on many levels. I was pissed about losing H2. Many times I come home, when no one...

    Ungrade a joey to a super joey...??'s

    Yea, through the integrator. Roger that!.. Main reason for wanting to do it myself is the time-frame of installs, and the weight of the last guy that was here crawling around in my attic. I own a business 30 miles from home and can't afford to waste half a day on the installation window..

    Ungrade a joey to a super joey...??'s

    Thanks, I managed to find that and the relevant PDF. So based on the layouts in the PDF, I should only need to add the integrator, a few feet of cable, and swap out the 2way splitter for a 3way splitter... If it's all actually the way I remember it being installed... Thanks again!

    Ungrade a joey to a super joey...??'s

    I'm looking at buying a super joey to add to our setup and have some questions. I didn't do the original install, dish tech did. He put the node outside, used existing wiring in the attic to get 10' to the master bedroom wall, drop down, and put the HWS in there. I know there is a TAP or...

    DTV Equipment purchase.

    Got a guy here local that selling an SL dish, and 5 various receivers, some HD, some DVR, etc. I'm curious if buying them will save me any money monthly with DTV? We've been kicking around going back to either Dish or getting DTV as our cable sucks. Both seem to be within $2 a month of each...

    VOD won't play 1080p..

    Well if by recently you mean beyond yesterday, then no I haven't tried it. Recently (yesterday) I rented the movie. I've never had it give me grief about 1080p before. I've watched several DishOnline programs that were 1080p. This was a 501 (there are 12 or so channels) VOD that was...

    VOD won't play 1080p..

    Well thanks for all the information.. I bought this tv specifically because it was a 1080p unit. Here's a link to the specs. 42" Class (42.0" Diagonal) LCD TV - LT-42X788 - Features It doesn't say anything about 1080p/24fps there.. Just mentions the 1080p Genessa processing. As for...

    VOD won't play 1080p..

    Rented "Knowing" tonight, on my 722k, and it says it's 1080p, and it's going to run a test on my tv, causing the screen to go blank for 15 seconds. Test concludes and says my tv doesn't support it. BS.. It's a 1080p JVC.. :rant: So it then says I can rent at a resolution the WILL work, and now...

    Build Vs Buy (the new computer quandry)

    Aside from Neweggs "clearance" prices.. (which is usually on outdated, or soon to be, parts.) Everything on your list was $20-$80 cheaper at mwave. I don't shop by discount only, just sayin, maybe some price checking could net you a bit of savings. :D

    WD offers a couple 10k rpm drives, but I think the largest I have seen is 150gig. Maybe something out larger now, but short of SCSI, (or now SSD) that's the fastest you'll get.

    Build Vs Buy (the new computer quandry)

    Ok.. :rolleyes: I've built around 1000-1200 in that same time frame. :up Like I said.. Your free to give your money to whomever you like. I try to give mine (and my customers) money to people who provide quality parts, and no hassle when there issues, because eventually, you will have...

    Build Vs Buy (the new computer quandry)

    Possibly.. But when someone comes here asking what he should do, what he should buy, how he should plan, etc.. I would expect he's looking for the answer I provided. I could go into the RMA issues I've had with Kingston, the poor compatibility with motherboard manufacturers, the fact that...

    Build Vs Buy (the new computer quandry)

    Good for you.. :rant: I could say don't eat drano, and someone would come in here saying they've been doing it for years. Still doesn't make it the smart thing to do. I did this for a living.. When you sell things to people, you tend to try to keep them from coming back upset.

    What he's getting at is a 32bit OS actually runs worse with over 3 gig installed. If your planning on leaving it on the shelf for several months, ok. Don't put over 3 in with XP/Vista 32bit... And don't get too excited about Win7... It's pretty, slick, and nice to use so far, But drivers are...

    Build Vs Buy (the new computer quandry)

    Whatever you do, stay away from the DFI and Gygabyte boards... Get yourself an ASUS. And stay away from Corsair anything, and Kingston memory if you were thinking about those. Crucial.com will handle your memory, for the same price or less, and have a lifetime warranty. I've never had to...
