    New nickname for the Hopper with Sling

    How about "HopSling?" Kind of reminds me of Hopsing from the old Bonanza series.

    Turned OFF Hopper or Joey drains remote's batteries

    We left on vacation for two weeks in August and I turned the Hopper off and unplugged it. I left the Joeys plugged up. While gone I saw this post and I thought uh-oh. After returning I plugged the Hopper back and everything was ok. The batteries in the Hopper remote died last week. The Joey...

    Hopper would not power on

    I'm not sure what happened, but this evening the Hopper would not power on. I had to unplug it and plug it back in. I guess we'll be rebooting stuff the rest of our lives.

    Only 64 percent signal after Hopper install?

    Hopper Goes From Watching DVR to System Ingetrity Check 770

    I'm not sure about not being able to stop the fast forwarding as I haven't experienced that problem, but you can increase the time it will "go to sleep" by going to: "settings" "diagnostics" and "updates." The default is two hours. I changed mine to four.

    Put your remote in the TV mode and right underneath the TV button you'll find the input button. Don't forget to go back to SAT mode to work your receiver.

    I didn't find a forum for new members and if I overlooked it I apologize. I've had the Dish Hopper since Friday week ago and I immediately knew I would need an online resource to help me. The Hopper television commercial is my favorite and since Comcast would not negotiate a new monthly rate...
