    DVR recording question

    The only way I have seen to see file size is when you transfer the recording to an external drive it indicates how much space is needed for that file. As for OTA recordings, all of them are MPEG2 and thusly about twice the size of MPEG4 recordings with similar resolution, MPEG4 being a more...

    LNB Caps shot

    I also believe the bolts on a 1000.4 are wider apart at the top than near the lnb arm, so It's probably a 1000.2.

    recording question, which is best, DVR or Seek?

    Marklyn Are you recording major national network shows (ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox) or are they on ESPN, Discovery, or another cable/Satellite network, maybe both? On the Hopper 3 the 4 major networks are automatically recorded during prime time when Prime Time Any TIme is enabled. These are...

    Anybody knows what model this could be?

    MPEG2 means it is useless. IIRC Dish has gone to MPEG4 on all sats. It is an old SD satellite receiver.

    Hopper 3 is hardly a decent boat anchor unless you fill it with cement. Then it is still questionable as a successful anchor.

    Seek Recordings

    Unless your show is on multiple networks, DON'T USE SEEK TIMERS!

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    To "toggle" between two channels you have to record both of them. Pause when you are going to switch. That "saves" the buffer as a recording, then you can jump back and forth, hopefully it will resume where you paused it.

    Hopper 3 Cooling fan

    I bought a 4 inch low speed high volume case fan way back when I got my first622 and have had it near the exit side vents on the 622, 722 Hopper 2000 and now my Hopper 3. Unfortunately the business is no longer found on the internet, but others can be "Googled" for less than $30. I've never had...

    What’s keeping you guys with Dish Network…

    I find streaming services are too quirky for me. The remote with my FireStick is not always responsive especially after long pauses or trying to rejoin an episode that we had to abandon in midstream. Turning closed captioning on and off is erratic, sometimes the icon does not respond. They are...

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I have seen reports that the 4K Joey will play 4K HDR recordings just not live 4K HDR. I can record a 4K HDR program and watch it o my old non-HDR Samsung (from 2015) but the colors are washed out and dim. Not worth the trouble.

    New Customer--Many Problems!

    I presume you are changing inputs either on the TV or your sound system. That points to a problem with the device where the input change occurs because it sounds like you are not making any changes on the Hopper. Try unplugging and reconnecting the HDMI cable next time the audio drops out...

    Dish customers have Mission stations back but DirecTV and AT&T Universe are still not in agreement, HMMMM!

    How to disable this Hopper3 dvr feature!

    Every time I watch a recorded episode and it ends, there is a list of all recorded and on demand recordings for that same series that are available. This is a feature that I do not think is optional. I have never has one begin playing that I did not select. I just left my Hopper in the...

    Recommendation to Dish - Dump Hopper+ and Rembrace Virtual Joey

    The H+ is designed to run the native android apps directly from the provider, not Dish.

    Aligning dish

    When switching from one sat to the other, you should not have to move the dish. Cover the outer two lnb's and find 119 using the Dish parameters for tour particular type of dish. For all satellites at one location NEVER change the skew. Dish finder is for after the skew is set by the parameters...

    I believe after the recording is completed, the 4K Joey can play it, but not while it is recording.

    Aligning dish

    Your Dish may very well be pointed about 9 degrees too far east, picking up 110 on the 119 lnb and the 110 lnb is looking at 101 where there is nada for Dish. Cover the left (looking from behind the dish) lnb with aluminum foul and try to find 110 with the right lnb. Once found, remove the foil...
