    Sorting changes listing of programs

    I recorded 4 soccer matches this week, 2 each on Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2. On both Tuesday and Wednesday, matches were broadcast simultaneously on both stations. I have these recorded through two series timers, again, one for each channel. When I went to watch them Wednesday night, the...

    Sling adapter went out

    Sling adapter has gone out for the second time. Both times the red light would not illuminate and PC/iPad reported unable to connect. Dish readily replaced my first one. This time Dish Chat support said call <phone#> and ask for Advanced Broadband Support Team. Phone rep says I can't put you...

    Hopper and Sling Adapter

    Just thought I'd share an update to my earlier post. I made the changes referred to above and my sling adapter has been working reliably since. Specifically, here's what I've done. 1. Configured my router to assign the same IP address to my Hopper every time the link went down. (I did both...

    Hopper and Sling Adapter

    I'm having pretty consistent problems with my Sling Adapter connected to a Hopper. Whether I'm trying to watch video from an iPad or a computer, I typically don't get any video. This is true even if I'm trying to watch from inside my house, again, on either a computer or an iPad. On the...

    Buyers remorse about getting 1 Hopper vs 2 Hoppers?

    I was happy to pay $199 to get the system I wanted (2H/2J) rather than the 1H/3J they kept trying to push on me. I don't know why, but Dish seems very reluctant to configure a 2H/2J system. The DNS tech who installed mine agreed that a 1H/3J system doesn't make sense for a 4 TV household. He...

    Hopper Remote in IR mode

    I used the VIP722 codes to program my ProntoPro for my Hopper, and they all work (including red, green, yellow, and blue), but the "0" doesn't for some reason. Any ideas? joe.

    Hopper Remote in IR mode

    Thanks. I was already there today but wasn't sure which device to look for. joe.

    Hopper Remote in IR mode

    Unfortunately this is my first Dish system, so the only remote I have is the latest one; a 40.0. My remote is a ProntoPro TSU6000 (old, but it still works). Hex codes will work. thanks, joe.

    Hopper Remote in IR mode

    I'm trying to program a learning remote to work with my new Hopper/Joey setup. IR mode is enabled on both the Hopper and Joey I'm working with. The way it should work is I press a button on the learning remote to enable "learning mode", then press the corresponding button on the original...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I was able to do the steps you described on the Hopper TV and watch a third show on the Joey TV. Similarly, I tried to recreate the scenario from last night by recording two shows in process on the Hopper TV, and I could watch a third show on the Joey TV. I'm not sure what the difference was...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Maybe this issue is related to a problem described in a different post: Joey Won't Change Channels; Automatically Goes To "TV Viewing Status" joe.

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I finally made the switch and had a 2H/2J system installed Saturday. Wow, what an experience. First, Dish simply does not want customers to have this configuration. For whatever reason, they reverted it back to a 1H/3J system at least 3 times. I was still on the phone with them 30 minutes...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Another question I'm curious about is physical wiring required. What does it take for internal wiring for 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys? If I'm already wired with 2 coax throughout my house, am I set? thanks. joe.

    Questions about The Hopper?

    If I go with Dish, I'll get a 2 Hopper system, and 2 Joeys. Shame about the other 1TB, but it's still a massive upgrade from the 200GB or so that I have on each of my current pair of DVRs. joe.

    Questions about The Hopper?

    That's good news and thanks for letting me know. If I disable PTAT, I then get 6 tuners to use for whatever I want. I think I read that normally the HD is partitioned to use 1TB for PTAT and one for the other tuners. If PTAT is disabled, does the full 2TB become available for "my" recordings...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but it's a tough task to read through almost 100 pages of posts (just in this topic) and digest all of it. I'm not particularly interested in PTAT. Between my wife and I, we watch two prime time series a week. I'm pretty sure the third tuner is dedicated...

    Answers to your Hopper Questions

    Brand new here and trying to soak up a lot of info. I'm considering switching my satellite provider because of the Hopper/Joey system. During a chat with a Dish CSR yesterday I was told a 2H/2J system was not an option. If I wanted a 2H configuration I could only get it if I also got 3 Joeys...
