    Strange issue recording one show (Elementary)

    So, my wife is deep in annoyed-mode with this, and I'm not sure WTH is happening. We have the CBS show "Elementary" scheduled to record all new episodes. For some reason, the recording always starts 30 minutes early, even though it was setup to record direct from the Guide. I tried...

    Storing timers from 2 HWS to combine to one Hopper 3?

    OK, thinking ahead to grabbing a Hopper 3 :) ....I currently have 2 HWS. Never tried backing up timers to the remote, but now that I know its doable, could I backup timers from both Hoppers on their respective remotes, then update the new Hopper with the timer backups from both old Hoppers? I'm...

    Dish Anywhere for Surface Pro... someday?

    Having just upgraded to the HWS I am surprised the Surface doesn't have an app for Dish Anywhere (unless I'm totally missing it). I've also been scraping the alleys of Google and don't see much info about it. Is there any new info about this?

    Problem with "Format TV" scaling?

    I'm wondering if anyone else is having this issue...my TV overscans more than I'd like, so I was happy to see the Hopper offered image scaling (last receiver was a 722). Problem is when I make adjustments they only affect the Hopper menus and TV guide--scaling for the satellite channels are...

    Joey signal issue report

    Day one with the Hopper/Joey and I'm having a signal issue. The Joey reports full MoCA signal strength, but once I ascend passed ch. 111 I start getting "Searching for satellite signal" warnings.

    IR codes for Hopper remote?

    Wondering if this is possible (I thought it was)...I use a Pronto Pro remote and thought once I enabled IR on the Hopper that I'd be able to capture the IR codes FROM the remote into my Pronto. Currently the Pronto uses codes from my previous 722 and it works fine, but I don't have the...

    Called today, install scheduled for tomorrow :) (2 Hoppers, 1 Joey)...great CSR!

    Thats pretty much it...painless order and CSR sounded pretty knowledgable. $100 per Hopper as expected, and verified duo-node included with the install. He also reiterated that the Hoppers won't talk to each other until the software update rolls out, but I'll have all the hardware in-place...

    Ext HDD failed on receiver, but not on WinVista?

    Turned on my 722 this evening and was greeted with a msg stating my connected USB device was not compatible (a 750GB drive that I've used for archiving for months). Tried a reboot, power cycle of the drive and combinations but no success. The 722 then prompted me to format the drive. Fine...

    This morning I'm not getting any signal on either receiver (510 and 622). Checked my switch and the transformer running to the power inserter is cool to the touch, so I think its blown. My question is, there looks like a small, round plastic circle on the transformer--is that a power...
