    Possible MLB Rule Change

    At least with pitching changes you eventually run out of pitchers. As for the DH, I wonder what the average time of a NL game is compared to the AL? Shouldn't that show how much the DH affects the game time? MLB instituted a rule 2 or 3 seasons ago to try and speed up games by preventing batters...

    XFER Hopper to EHD

    I found out that an external power supply is needed for standard 3 1/2" external drives because of the added power they use. If you use a 2 1/2" drive without a separate power supply it should work fine even if not specifically supported.

    No sound with VIP 612

    It could be HDMI related. I had the same thing happen to my H3 yesterday. When I rebooted the H3 and my Denon receiver the sound came back. You may try swapping out the HDMI cable too.

    Is it finally safe to Upgrade to the H3 / Joey 2 from VIP722K's?

    I came from an even older ViP622 that worked for 9 years. When the component video output finally died (the HDMI output had broken years ago) I had to upgrade. Yes, the H3 does have bugs but what Dish receiver doesn't? Many of the ViP series problems were solved with an occasional reboot. That...

    What are the latest dish pointing options for hopper 3

    That was my experience after doing the hybrid LNB swap. In fact, my signal has been more stable since switching from a ViP 622 to the H3 about a month ago.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    Yes it played fine. Today, I watched a VOD movie from Showtime and it didn't give any errors when I deleted it.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    I spoke too soon! I just watched an HBO VOD and when I deleted it the H3 gave me an error message that it lost the network connection. I backed out and everything still worked fine though.

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    The only issue I have noticed with U336 and HBO VOD is when I delete a program that I have viewed the H3 reports it lost network connectivity. Everything still worked OK. As for new EHDs, I was able to format a new EHD (USB powered 2.5 inch portable drive) and it is working fine. I think the...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    I am glad Dish gave us the option of 2 updates. Personally, I never pay for VOD movies so it was a non-issue but I used the EHD a lot. HBO and Showtime VOD work fine for me with U336.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    U331 and U334 didn't see the EHD at all. U336 wants to format the drive even with a DiRT account hit probably because the H3 sees a partition that is not ext3. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Youtube not working on H3?

    YouTube didn't work on my new H3 with U331 after about 3 days but now does with U336. What is your software version? Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    The problem is my 750 GB EHD is formatted into 3 partitions: partition 1 is ext3 and roughly 1 GB. It has an empty lost&found folder. Partition 2 shows other/no file system (depending on the program looking at it) and 500 GB. Partition 3 is ext3 and roughly 240 GB. I scanned for missing files on...

    Hopper 3 external drives have disappeared

    I got U336 too and can now see my EHDs. For grins I plugged my portable Seagate 2TB USB powered drive in and it said to format so I did. It is working fine off the front USB port without AC power. Go figure! Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    U336 fixed my H3 seeing the old EHD but now there is another issue. My H3 can't use it without formatting first. I had DiRT do a "hit" but no help. The EHD came off of a Vip622 so I suspect there is some kind of a hard drive problem. I used a Linux Live CD and it sees 2 partitions, one a 500 GB...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    No, I am saying trying to update the software and/or the resulting reboot killed Dish Anywhere. It said the hopper is not available/offline when the H3 says it is. It is now working again after maybe 30 minutes so maybe it needed time to initialize or something. Sent from my iPhone using the...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    OK I will see what happens. This is a H3 only setup, no Joeys, but I do use Dish Anywhere on my iPhone. It was working fine too until the H3 rebooted and now it shows "connection failed" even though the H3 is connected to the Internet and its status is OK. The Hopper light is green in the app...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    Well I just tried using the new software update feature (twice) and guess what, my H3 rebooted after maybe 3 minutes with nothing changed. I could care less about VOD but want my EHD back!!!

    U334 is now out

    Well U334 appears to have fixed my YouTube issue as it loads without crashing the receiver but it still doesn't see the EHD.

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    It sounds like they went back to the U331 code. Did you have U331 or U332 before this update? Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    Thanks! I wonder how often they don't find any problems? :) I read the U332 bug reports but it appears to fix the EHD Seems to me Dish could do a much better job of keeping people informed when their equipment doesn't work as advertised from the very beginning. I was told by an advanced tech...

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    How long does it normally take Dish to complete software updates? I am still waiting for U332 and it is has been well over a week since people started getting it. My EHD has yet to work on my new H3 and YouTube hasn't worked since the first week after the install.

    Is it my external drive or is this just the way the Hopper 3 works?

    Yes, the H3 seems to be very quirky with EHDs. I can't get my WD MyBook to work at all on my new H3 and was told by Dish to give them 7-14 business days for a possible fix or fix date. That was just over a week ago. My guess is your WD may be powering down (into sleep mode) and the H3 is...

    Hopper crashes with youtube and netflix

    I did some more digging online and saw that you can also cast YouTube from a portable device (in my case an iPhone 6) directly to the H3. Casting it apparently hoses the H3 too and not just the built-in app. The red YouTube logo appears then the screen goes black after a few seconds. Hitting the...

    Hopper crashes with youtube and netflix

    I did follow the instructions in post 7 -- several times. At least twice my H3 became unresponsive for maybe 30 seconds, then it rebooted/restarted on its own. YouTube was not fixed after doing ANY of the resets.

    Hopper crashes with youtube and netflix

    My YouTube worked fine in the week since installing the H3. Today it gave me the black screen. Tried the reset above but still don't work. In fact, it forces a reboot when trying to go back to live tv. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!
