    I need to attach another HDMI to my Samsung TV?

    I think you may have found the solution. I unplugged the cable that is marked as coming from Comcast, but I think maybe it's from my computer. Everything still worked, including my internet connection with it unplugged. I don't use my monitor with my computer anymore, so I can just get rid...

    I need to attach another HDMI to my Samsung TV?

    I don't mind buying the splitter, can I just spit it off from the USB that already has Comcast and not affect the performance of the two signals connected to it? I can select HDMI 2 /DVI on the TV, the internet connection seems to just work without having to select that input. Yeah, I wasn't...

    I need to attach another HDMI to my Samsung TV?

    Hi I just got this streaming box from Comcast, which now comes free with my internet connection. The problem is that my Samsung Smart TV only has two HDMI ports on the back. One is used by Dish, and the other is used by Comcast for my connection from my TV to my internet. Can I use an HDMI...

    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    One other thing that drives me crazy, with Formula One Races which I have set to record New episodes, it always picks the one latest in the day. Even though it runs live at say 9 AM, it chooses to record one that is on in the evening. Almost every week I have to search for the live broadcast...

    why won't Dish fix their idiotic guide issues?

    I'll just add on here, my complaints, Last week I tried to record the Formula One race. I settled back and prepared to watch, and what do I see? A baseball game! As I fast-forwarded to see if at some point it was going to switch to what it said I was watching. Just before the recording ended...

    Does anyone know why sometimes when I push the pause button, it will switch to Netflix?

    I've got two remotes, and it does the same thing with both of them?

    Does anyone know why sometimes when I push the pause button, it will switch to Netflix?

    Every once in a while when I push the pause button, it will switch to Netflix or some other service I don't use, and then I can't get out of it. I end up having to shut off the receiver and restart it. When I restart, it asks me if I want to leave the service whatever it is, and I can get out...

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    I have a one gigabyte external hard drive, and it will hold more than my hopper, I have hundreds of movies on it.

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    "I'm confused. In your initial post, you asked how to turn off the Hopper along with the TV. Then you said you are using your Dish remote to turn off the TV and the Hopper. Which is it?" I never use the remote that came with the TV for anything that has to do with Dish, but It seems to me that...

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    Hi I just checked my software version number and it's H215. I see that the posts here say the latest is H315 but when I went to upgrade the software is says that it's going to update to H215 which is what it's at already. How do I get it to get the latest version?

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    Thanks, I'm using the Dish Remote to turn my TV and Hopper on and off, so I guess it's set that way. What I did notice is that my software version is H215, not H315. So is that correct do the numbers go up in jumps like 215, 216, etc.

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    I'm having this too, on a Hopper that was recently replaced. Where do you set it to turn off the Hopper along with the TV? I've never noticed that setting anyplace? I'll try that if I can find it, my hopper also shuts down and updated in the middle of watching something even though I know the...

    What happened to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix practice?

    I even ran a search for Formula One and the only programs that came up were the ones I recorded, there were no other hits for F1 at all. I have all the ESPN channels visible on my menu, couldn't find anything else. I'm not too surprised, I have a local channel that has shown that the national...

    What happened to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix practice?

    This is the last Grand Prix of the year and the two top drivers are tied going into it. I have my Hopper set to record the weekends activity. I started the first practice session recording and what did I find.... Basket Ball! It says that it is Formula One, on the schedule, it says that it's...

    Any way to toggle Magnify?

    Thanks for the information, I knew there must be some way to do it. I should have thought of that, I have one of them set to close captions, I don't know if the others are set to do anything.

    Any way to toggle Magnify?

    Hi guys, at 83 there are times I'd like to toggle magnify, but I don't want it on all the time. Is there a way to do it with a button or something rather than making your way through all the screens to get there every time? It's kind of a pain to switch back and forth.

    Dish off in storm, permanently?

    Hi Again... Just came back to say they didn't follow up on the promise to contact me within 24 hours, but I did find that I could watch the debate live on YouTube. I guess they aren't going to show up until next weekend. A whole week to go. In the meantime, I'm watching things on Amazon...

    No Roku but I'll keep looking. I think I may have found a spot to watch at Cord Cutters.

    Dish off in storm, permanently?

    Hi I did call back and finally got them to say they would contact me within 24 hours and try to get there sooner, but that was the best I could do. So I'm still really waiting to see when they are going to come. I did find out that I've been a customer for over 16 years. The TV does work I...

    Dish off in storm, permanently?

    Hi He's right the message is from the TV set not the Dish Box. I can still get some TV through Smart TV over the internet. But not our regular programs. I've been with Dish, for many years even before Comcast was available around here. You would think they would try harder. Comcast usually...

    Dish off in storm, permanently?

    Hi We just had a thunderstorm this evening. During the storm, the dish box went dead. I can hear the disk drive running but there is no light on the front, not Green, or Yellow but power is going in. I tried pushing the buttons for start and reset. I unplugged it waited and plugged it back...

    Does the Hopper have both and eSATA and USB hook up?

    Thanks for the information I'll have to see if the drive comes with the appropriate USB cable or if I have to get one separately, the description seemed to indicate that most new DVRs don't come with a USB connection anymore. I'm not sure what Hopper I have but I'm pretty sure it is't the...
