    Button to get to other Hopper missing

    Anyone know where it went? After the update last night this button is missing and I cannot access recordings from our other hopper. Through the menu then the Home tab I can see that that the channel I want is on the other DVR but I can only watch it live, not from the start. Any tips? Thanks

    New Software Coming Tonight

    Seems that the button to select a different DVR has disappeared. Any way to get it back? Or did they move it?

    Why does my Hopper/Sling use two tuners to record the same program?

    The DVR alerts me when it needs the tuner I am watching to record a scheduled program. This is ok and if there were no other tuners available I would understand this behavior. But it alerts me when there are other tuners available. It then proceeds to change my channel to the program being...

    How long to update Dish schedule/guide?

    Thanks guys. Yes I can record whatever is on ESPN during the times needed. But playback is a pain. I'll do it that way if needed. Now the games are listed in the Sports section of the guide. But are not available to my DVR for some reason. Giving it a bit more time to see what happens.

    How long to update Dish schedule/guide?

    There are two MLB games scheduled for today. They were needed after yesterday's games. These are first place tiebreakers. Cubs/Brewers and Dodgers/Rockies. I have noticed in the past that Dish is slow to update the guide. Neither of these games show up yet on the guide or in the Sports...

    Odd issue with fast forward and rewind

    Thank you! When you say let it sit idle, I was planning to update before I go to bed tonight.. Is that good or should I do something different? EDIT: also, do I need to update both or will one time update both receivers?

    Hello, I have an issue that I have reported to Dish but no resolution so far. I have 2 Hoppers w Sling. When recording something on Hopper 1 and starting that same program a bit later on Hopper 2 I cannot fast forward very fast. Hopper 1 is still recording the program and when fast...

    Manually update Guide?

    It is updated for Fox 32 in Chicago now. Funny thing is that it changed all of my timers for tonight too. I had to re-extend the post game show on my local Comcast sports channel.

    Manually update Guide?

    Still not showing for Fox 32 in Chicago. I'll reset the receiver and wait until later this afternoon before I set a manual timer. However the game does show up in the sports section when you hit the blue button on the remote. But setting that to record does nothing. A reset is probably in order.

    Hopper recording shows there are no timers for

    Nothing happens when I press info at the Daily Schedule or at a show that is being recorded that's not supposed to be recorded. These shows seem to have made themselves top priority since the shows I want to record are crossed out in the schedule. The shows I deleted last night that were...

    Hopper recording shows there are no timers for

    Hi, suddenly last night there were many shows being recorded in my Daily Schedule that I have never set timers for. It seems to be limited to two different channels, WGN 9 and WCIU 26, both local channels in Chicago. This DVR does not have Prime Time turned on (plus those aren't included in PT...

    DISH introduces Hopper Transfers to Android Platform

    This is a question that interests me as well. Watching TV on the iPhone is a little tiresome as the screen is just a bit small. And not everyone has an iPad. The Kindle Fire Tablet screen size is bigger than a phone and quite a bit less expensive than an iPad. Hope they can support the Dish...

    Hopper changes channel on tuner I am watching so it can record

    It just happened again. The Primetime was using one tuner. Another tuner was still on MLB network even though the TV was off and no one was there (on a Joey). And one tuner was free. My wife and I were watching something on the DVR and it changed the channel on us at 9PM apparently when the...

    Hopper changes channel on tuner I am watching so it can record

    This was last night during Prime Time. Primetime was enabled and one tuner was recording that. When the Hopper switched channels on me to record something on Food Network or some channel like that for my wfe, I hit the red button on the remote and saw that another tuner was free so I switched...

    Hopper changes channel on tuner I am watching so it can record

    Thanks for the quick response. I probably missed it. I'll watch for that in the future. But I do not recall seeing that message. It must have been up for only a very short time. It seems odd that if a tuner is being watched it would choose that one to record something else. Why not default...

    Hopper changes channel on tuner I am watching so it can record

    Hi, I have the Hopper with Sling just installed a couple days ago. The subject line says just about all. Even though there is another tuner available, doing nothing, it changes the channel I am watching so that it can record something else. Is there any way around this? Force new recordings...

    Hopper Timer Questions

    Hi, Just got the Hopper today. I have a question on how best to use timers for a sports program that may appear on one of several channels. I want to record the Chicago Cubs games. They can appear on WGN, Comcast Sports Net, Chicago Channel 26, sometimes one of the Sports Net alternate...

    2 questions on HD VIP722K dual channel DVR - timers and inactivity

    Hi My first question is regarding my number one priority for recording. This show can occasionally be run several times per day. Most days it is on twice or perhaps three times. When I don't want those episodes to record I will tell the DVR to skip them. If I am traveling for work I will...

    DVR schedule disappeared plus one other question

    Awesome. I'll give that a try. I realize I could just set the timer for one channel,. but the problem is that my baseball team (Cubs) games are on any one of 3 or 4 different channels. So my timer says "MLB: Cubs" on any channel. Thanks for the tip.

    DVR schedule disappeared plus one other question

    No, not spike. I said WGN and for baseball games. WGN is on several channels. The DVR wants to record the same game, on the same day, at the same time on 2 or 3 of them How can I make it record a game only once?
