    DishTV - Silicone Dielectric - Y/N/AN ??

    Sorry been a bit busy the past couple of weeks (72 hrs in 1 week and only 60 in the other two) Time was short .. as to cleaning that head .. half to 1 dollar 2 inches of cable .. just snipped & snapped new head. Lesson learned about not leaving dangling cables, while the other side is...

    DishTV - Silicone Dielectric - Y/N/AN ??

    No no, while I was working to solve the wiring / switch issue, I had left the new room un-connected and unprotected at my switch port side. It was dangling there for about 16 to 24 hours. It was directly touching the cinder block wall, and the corrosion (this case) is simply a fact of leaving...

    DishTV - Silicone Dielectric - Y/N/AN ??

    Silicone Dielectric, Yes? No? Absolutely Not? I just finished updating my wiring, during the process I had an exposed end, while attached to a hopper w/sling at the other end. In about 24 hours, with it contacting slightly damp area, at basement cinder block wall, and saw I had a corroded...

    Issues Surrounding CUI Update

    I wonder if you could use gParted with 2 EHD's one already formatted by the Hopper, to allow you to manually copy the data from working older partition, to newer partition. eg, is it just the drive layout that's the issue, or is the data saved to the disk also saved differently that makes the...

    Issues Surrounding CUI Update

    I know .. :( but it all starts to coalesce into this "I'm as mad as h*ll and I'm not going to take it any more" rage. I'm *that* guy, the one always in the losing percentage. ... 5% failure rate? it fails for me .. 94% served on time, in proper working order, etc etc .. I'm in that 6%.. it gets...

    Issues Surrounding CUI Update

    Depends on the technician and how knowledgeable you (dish customer) are about things. I just had a Hopper 2000 replaced with a Hopper w/sling. Aside from this 3rd party install tech saying it couldn't be done, also tried to tell me you couldn't have 3 hoppers on the account, couldn't use...

    Issues Surrounding CUI Update

    Wait .. how exactly is forced obsolescence "good" for them? Cost for the box, cost for the installer .. sure they get to pull the whole 2 year commitment garb, but even that isn't worth all that much .. you stem the tide of some losses only to have people (myself included) badmouthing dish at...

    New Carbon Interface on Hopper with Sling - positives and negatives

    They couldn't really recommend it even if really needed, as it becomes a litigious issue "your product wasn't designed properly and overheats" ... fix or repair diligently and even if they do, they still get sued. Funny thought ... the problems with the new UI and oddities in recording are...

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Possible partial resolution to PTAT issue .. so I've not been able to watch PTAT recorded on the 2nd DVR in my house from my first DVR.. DVR 1 is Hopper w/Sling, 2nd DVR is hopper without sling. I only record PTAT on Hopper 2. I prefer to have my PTAT shown to me grouped by Network.... so...

    New Carbon Interface on Hopper with Sling - positives and negatives

    And while I'm here... More Negatives.. Since day one, I've had nothing but problems with PTAT. 2 Hoppers, 1 Joey. 1 hopper is w/sling, the other is not, but I do have the sling adapter attached. I group PTAT by network on the regular Hopper, and on my HWS I go in .. I reset the view there...

    New Carbon Interface on Hopper with Sling - positives and negatives

    No option for watching which? PTAT? there is.. on the new UI .. click to go into PTAT .. you'll see the 4 network folders .. press the RED button on the 40.0 remote ... and you get the 9 square options .. #2 should be "Group By" at the bottom of its cube .. and you probably see "Network" above...

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    My bad I must have read the "2 years" as 2 hoppers. The multiple recordings .. with less than full length look like the recording got halted by "whatever" and so the hopper picked up where it left off, but one of the pictures didn't show reduced time ... wow. :(

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Ferl ... check that PTAT is not enabled on BOTH boxes. I only had it on one box before, then my hopper updated and it turned it on, on my DVR... Since the update I've not been able to watch any PTAT recordings from my other DVR which does the PTAT. I get to see the folders that tell me how...

    HWS with CUI PTAT Issues

    DVR1 - HWS DVR2 - Hopper DVR1 updated - it turned on PTAT without my knowledge. After I found it.. I turned it off .. maybe day 2 of it being on DVR2 is the ONLY DVR I do PTAT on ... While DVR2 was not updated, I was getting folders on DVR2 for PTAT that showed a normal amount of shows (eg 20...

    Hopper Update FAIL

    My Hopper w/Sling updated without bricking but the rest of the house was still a mess. After forcing the update on the other DVR 2 days later, some things got better, the joey had to be manually updated too. So far all three "work" but in most cases there's noticeable lag, and some other...

    New Carbon Interface on Hopper with Sling - positives and negatives

    J .. I just now saw the beta testers thread (DISH Hopper Carbon UI Testing Forum) Scott had up ... hist first post in there "at the top" is a "note this" type posting. Is there a thread or a list of known issues for the new software? One with an updated Top Post of currently known issues? I...

    New Carbon Interface on Hopper with Sling - positives and negatives

    wow ... anyone have other hoppers in their set-up, and that don't have the update on them? And have you tried using them? now I'm really wishing I could downgrade back to the old.. maybe it will go better once the other DVR is updated, but oh my god is it horrible! What I would do normally...

    DIRT question / help - Current hopper limit?

    lol and "good" is relative. Any online suggestions? I looked for what use to be recommended on the main page of the satguys but I'm either blind or they are missing.. :( Looking for a refurb unit (don't want to waste money on brand new when doesn't need to be). :)

    DIRT question / help - Current hopper limit?

    Awesome ... would you be able to look at my account, to confirm I can just purchase one, and then I could schedule a work order to install?

    DIRT question / help - Current hopper limit?

    Tommy, the original question is how many regular hoppers on one account. I've found DIRT postings from 2 years ago that say 3 hoppers (not the hopper 3, but regular hopper / hopper with sling) on an account and 6 joeys. Is that currently the case? TY!

    DIRT question / help - Current hopper limit?

    Understanding is one thing, in practice use is another. First, I've not found a way to access the external recordings except from the *one* DVR. Second, the amount of time it takes to manage that amount of recordings. In the hopper3 thread, I see the same anguish, how could dish have been so...

    DIRT question / help - Current hopper limit?

    Any DISH IRT/Dirt members on? I wanted to go Hopper3 for the 16 channel DVR, but then find its still only a 2TB drive, so doesn't meet our needs. Try now to get a 3rd hopper added but not getting anywhere. The last post I could find was from 2013 when a Dirt Member said 3 hoppers 6 joeys is...
