    Timers

    You should be able to backup the timers to the remote and then copy it to the new Hopper once you link the remote to it. I do not remember the specific steps at this time, but I'm sure another member will chime in.

    Expanded DLNA capabilities!

    Though I've not yet had time to try it, I've noticed that the new software update might have added some new DLNA capabilities. With the "play to" feature in Windows Media Player, which allows it to act as a digital media controller (DMC), one of my hoppers shows up as a digital media renderer...

    Explorer App won't find my Hopper

    When you rebooted your iPad did you turn it off and then turn it back on? Or did you actually restart it which occurs after you press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time for a few seconds until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo appears? If not, I would suggest trying...

    Corrupted recordings?

    Okay, just to give an update. I chatted with Dish this morning and explained this problem to them. They had me go through their procedural troubleshooting and had me do an RBR the results are just the same. They suggested that I delete every recording that is naving this issue, unplugged the...

    Joey Live DVR functionality

    No, you can pause and rewind live TV without recording the show. Really, it works just like you would expect it to on both the hopper and joey.

    Corrupted recordings?

    The football game was on a completely different station from The Mentalist so it would not have been affected by sporting events and timing on the guide.

    How do you reboot the hopper?

    Or, if you need to do a hard reset unplug it and plug it back in.

    Post your Hopper/Joey Temps.

    If you needed to you could purchase a USB powered laptop cooler and plug it into your hopper. I have one of those plugged into one of my hoppers and it helps.

    transfer timers from one hopper to another

    If you have two hoppers and several joeys do you know if you can use the remote from one joey linked to one hopper, copy the timers to the remote, link the joey to the other hopper, and then transfer them back?

    Corrupted recordings?

    Well, I checked the signal on the Hopper that is experiencing the problem and found out that some of the signal strengths are so low that they are registered as a 30 and some of them are not even locked. I seem to remember that some of the signals were much stronger when the system was first...

    Corrupted recordings?

    I didn't expect the fact that it stopped in the middle of the recording to tell me anything, but I just found it strange. Every recording that has this issue has been on a different day that's why my first suspicion was the hard drive. I'll still check the signal later to make sure that is not...

    Corrupted recordings?

    It could be that the signal is interrupted, but I do not remember any bad weather which would have caused the recordings to have this issue. Plus, if The hopper is anything like the 722 it would tell me that part of the recorded portion was lost which I do not see in this case. When I have the...

    Corrupted recordings?

    There are a few shows I have recorded and when I watch them they play about halfway through and then abruptly stop in the middle of the recording. It will then return to the DVR menu as though the episode is over. It is like the recording is so corrupted that the Hopper thinks it has...

    Corrupt DVR recordings - Error Code 04

    I'm having a similar issue on one of my Hoppers but I do not receive an error code. There are a few shows I have recorded and when I watch them they play about halfway through and then abruptly stop in the middle of the recording. It will then return to the DVR menu as though the episode is...

    HIC/Broadband Connection Question

    You can get a Wi-Fi adapter that works on the Hopper for $25 from dish that should be able to receive a signal from your phone or router if it has Wi-Fi. Your installer might also be able to get it for you for free but I am not completely sure since it does not sound he is directly from dish...

    FB login missing?

    Oh, ok. Thanks for the explanation!

    FB login missing?

    I tried to sign-in earlier using Facebook and the button is missing. Not that it is an extremely big deal for me to actually type in my credentials, but it was convenient to just click the button since I am normally signed in to Facebook already. Also, didn't there used to be an option where I...

    No video signal using Sling

    Well, I talked to dish and they weren't yet able to resolve my issue. They had to send a detailed report to their engineers so they could further investigate how to fix it which means I will not hear anything for a day or two. The good news is they said they don't think that the device...

    No video signal using Sling

    Sorry it's been a while, I have been really busy and have not been online much lately. To answer your questions the Hopper software version is S222 and the Sling Status is listed as "ready" with the version number R.03.01.11. I've also tried a couple other things such as forwarding the...

    Joey Audio ?

    As far as I know you should be able to use the audio out with no issues. My dad has recorded a news program to a DVD from one of our hoppers using a composite output while staying connected by HDMI. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not see why you would not also be able to do this on a Joey.

    No video signal using Sling

    I am having troubles with a Sling Adapter connected to one of my Hoppers. When I attempt to view live television or recorded content it goes through the process of connecting and once it says it is connected I have a message that says "no video signal" accompanied by a black screen. The screen...

    Just downloaded software version 222.

    Didn't you hear? Software version 222 gave everyone the Dish copycat Siri! ;)

    Bridging Question

    My family has a 2H/4J system where we have one Hopper connected to the Internet by ethernet. That is the only thing we currently have connected to our network and since I know the latest update has bridging disabled by default, several of our boxes are now without Internet. My question is, is...

    Getting Ticked at Sling Adapter!

    Earlier this week I had trouble connecting to my Sling Adapter and it said "no data stream." (This is actually my first problem using the Sling Adapter since my family got Hoppers back in March.) I tried unplugging it from the Hopper and then plugging it back in and did not get any results. What...
