    Inactivity Standby disable

    Sethwell. Interesting. I hadn't thought of that. While I do have an event set to record "Morning Joe" on MSNBC at 4am, it doesn't auto-tune to it. That is usually what I set to watch before putting TV on dim mode and closing my eyes for sleep. I didn't realize that auto-tune would have it come...

    Inactivity Standby disable

    There is just no good reason the Hopper (or other DVRs) need to reboot every night. Software updates aren't released that often and it can update the program guide while booted. This inactivity shutdown and nightly reboot is a major pain to people using receivers 24/7 (public areas/offices/homes...

    Dish answer to multiple hoppers

    The problem is, Dish Receivers are notoriously unreliable long term. My mom has been thru 4 722's in 6 years. Brother thru 3. Other brother thru 2 and 3 have failed me. My guess is it is usually the hard drive. But design wise, Dish is pretty poor. They design their units with lower cost...

    Dish answer to multiple hoppers

    I had a 15 minute debate with a CSR about how many TV's I had in my house and that I have an HDMI splitter in the wiring closet with the (then 722, was ordering Hopper) telling him I didn't need Joey's. "No sir, that is not possible. You see, you cannot view on other TV's without Joeys." --...

    Dish answer to multiple hoppers

    As for the person many posts back worried about them not putting the order through without a Joey: Don't worry about this. When I had my Hopper installed 6 months ago they couldn't put the other through without adding at least 1 Joey and just told me to have the installer cancel it off the...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Unless stacking two Hoppers can blend their resources into a single device output, it isn't much use to me - especially if I have to redistribute a second run of HDMI throughout the house (and likely use a 2nd remote) -- forgive me if I don't yet understand just what stacking two hoppers does...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    ScottChez A great topic that no one has addressed in ages. I missed how my old 500 had an AV input. I fed my old analog front door cam into it and used it to check the video with a simple channel change. I would love it if Dish could release an add-on module that accepted an HDMI input that it...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    Hi guys, I am new to posting to the forums and a bit late on this topic, but Dish if you are listening (which I see a rep is) -- PLEASE keep the option open in the future to support more than 1 USB OTA tuner. I have 4 OTA ATSC tuners in my PC and it handles it great. From what I can tell of the...
