    Hopper and 211z external hard drive

    I'm quite sure this has been addressed many times on this forum but I just can't seem to get the correct search terms to find the posts. I have a Hopper3 and an external hard drive connected to it. We also have a 211z that we use with a portable satellite dish while on vacation. Is there any...

    Access point weak?

    Is there any way to increase the range of the access point? I posted before about a weak signal in an upstairs room. One of the suggestions was to move the AP. So I ran some CAT5 in the wall to an unused upstairs bedroom and installed the AP there. I would still occasionally lose the signal...

    Low signal strength to wireless joey

    We have a hopper with three wireless joeys and for several months we have had no problems. But now we are experiencing low signal strength to one of our upstairs joeys. The signal strength varies between about 18 and 30 and stays in the yellow most of the time. It seems to be worse in the...

    Dish Anywhere on Hopper 3

    I seldom use the Dish Anywhere app but I would like to have it available just in case. I'm having problems getting it to work with our new Hopper 3. I can connect to the Hopper and get the guide and even watch shows that we have recorded on the Hopper. But I cannot watch live TV. When I try...

    Inactive 211Z

    I have a 211Z that has not been used in over a year. It is on our account and we have been paying the monthly charge for it. We bought it for use in our motorhome but we have been bringing our Hopper with Joeys instead. I have a Dish 500 antenna that I don't use anymore and I have connected...

    I always get the "No Titles Found" message on all of the On Demand channels. Using the Dish On Demand button on the remote results on the loading bar staying on for a few minutes until the regular programming comes back on. Broadband network connection shows OK and resetting my router and...

    Video description

    I was watching NCIS LA last night when suddenly I was hearing a description of what was happening on the screen. I think it is called video description. I did not turn this on and I couldn't turn it off. This is on a Hopper. I went to the audio settings and there are only two choices...

    Keeping 211Z activated

    I have a Hopper with three Joey system and a 211Z that I use in a motorhome. The 211Z sits unused most of the time and I would like to avoid having to get it reactivated every time we plan on using it. Is there a way to keep it activated by using the Hopper input with a tap or a splitter...

    Eastern vs Western arc

    I have a 1000.2 dish with a 1000.2 triple lnb that we use in a motorhome. We recently got the Hopper system for home use and added a 211Z receiver for the motorhome. The person that installed the Hopper installed a new dish and switched us to the Eastern arc. My question is what to do with...

    We have a Dish 508 in our bedroom that does not download the program info automatically. Every few days when we try to access the guide it says that the info is being downloaded. It seems to take forever. I checked the setup menu and found no place to schedule automatic downloads. Is there...

    Cannot get 119

    I have a Dish 500 with a 311 receiver. I thought that I was reasonably proficient at setting it up in our camper until now. I am up in western Maine with a very limited view of the sky. Using an Align-a-Site and satellite finder I can get a strong signal on 110. But no matter where I place the...
