    HWS/Joey getting installed right now.

    I've had my 2 HWS/Joey setup for about a month now, and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!! I know reading the threads about the S328 software make it sound like a much worse systen than it is, but the issues were very minor, and they're all being corrected right now, anyhow. The HWS is...

    Patch cable question

    Sounds good, thanks guys! I did pick up the blue F connector barrels aready so I'm set there. I'll pick up some cable this weekend. Much appreciated! I'll post some pics when I get the new plates installed and get everything cleaned up.

    Patch cable question

    I am doing some rearranging of my home theater, and I am going to need to purchase a coax patch cable for my HWS. I know MoCA needs RG6. I am one who doesn't mind paying a bit more for quality, but at the same time I don't like to waste money on stuff like Monster Cable, either. Does anyone...

    Hopper With Sling Software Version S330

    Both of mine are S328 still...for now. Hopefully the EHD problem is solved for me wheneger I get S330 since I have a few recordings that are getting hung up on S328.

    EHDTransfer

    The OTA problem with be solved with a 2nd update on Wednesday per Ray of DIRT on the S330 thread. The rest of the EHD problems should have been corrected with S330.

    HWS DVR glitch

    Thanks for the link to your post, I never noticed that the audio is broadcasting on another tuner. Interesting. I sent DIRT a message earlier today, Matt said that they are aware of the problem. Hopefully they will fix it in a software update some day.

    Hopper w/Sling not playing back DVR recordings? Help please.

    I started another thread about this same problem a few days ago. It's not just PTAT, it seems to happen any time the Hopper is recording any DVR event at the time. I notified Matt of DIRT, he says they are already aware of the issue. Hopefully it will be corrected in a future software update.

    Two Hopper w/ Slings - Issue watching recordings on 2nd Hopper during PTAT

    I posted a thread about the same problem a few days ago. On mine, it does it any time the other Hopper is recording. I sent DIRT a kessage, Matt says they are aware of the problem. Hopefully a software fix will happen some day!

    Hey DISH, Improve Your Picture Quality

    I've had Dish and Comcast- Dish HD looks about 100x better than Comcast does. It looks better than U-Verse as well. I'd say Dish is either equal to or slightly below DTV in HD quality. My guess is your VOD picture quality was reduced because of the internet connection. Since someone else...

    HWS DVR glitch

    I've noticed lately that if I use 1 HWS to watch DVR recordings saved on my other HWS there are a few glitches. Usually the video will play fine, but there is no audio whatsoever. If I stop the recording, then go back in and play again it starts working fine with audio. Also occasionally when...

    External hard drive

    Everyone from this site recommended I get the Western Digital MyBook, which is what I got. It's great!

    Can I watch my external Hard Drive recordings from my 722 on the Hopper?

    I just transferred a bunch of recordings from my 922's EHD onto one of my Hoppers and haven't noticed any issues so far.

    Many ordering problems

    Just an update. Thanks to the AMAZING DIRT Team!!! I have temporarily bypassed my hopper node. They were kind enough to temporarily deactivate my Hoppers, and reactivate my 922! On the advice from fellow forum members, I had purchased a 2TB WD My Book. Hooked up the EHD this evening and it...

    Guide question

    I rebooted both of mine using the reset button, and the collapsed views are back now. Thanks for the help!! There are a few holiday channels that stay expanded, but all others including the regional sports channels will compress and expand again. Maybe it glitched when they added the holiday...

    Guide question

    When my 2 HWS were installed yesterday, I noticed the XM and regional sports networks were in a collapsed view. That is one feature my 922 didn't have, and I really liked it. This evening I noticed that the collapsed view is gone for both. I've tried both clicking the minus sign in the guide...

    VIP 922 old?

    I just upgraded my 722k/922 setup to 2 Hoppers with Sling. The Hoppers are awesome! All the folks on here are right- the Hopper functions and menus are practically identical to the 922. You should have no trouble learning the Hopper system very quickly. I haven't even had it a day and I've...

    Many ordering problems

    I know the 922 and Hopper can't be activated at the same time. When the EHD arrives I will try to see if they can temporarily activate them as you suggested. I assume I'll have to bypass the node, but that shouldn't be too hard. I'm new to the whole EHD thing, hopefully others will learn from...

    Many ordering problems

    That's sort of what I figured honestly. I have 30 days to return the 922, so I guess I'll just be watching a LOT of tv. Do you usually have to call and have a CSR enable EHD use for a 922 the first time you use it? The EHD directions on MyDish don't really specify that, they just state if you...

    Many ordering problems

    Crap. Lol. I guess when the EHD comes I'll be the guinea pig. I sure hope it works! If it makes a difference, I unhooked the 922 before it was deactivated in the system.

    Transferring dvr timers

    I just saved all my timers the old fashioned way- I wrote them down ;-). I didn't know the remote could save the info, though. That's good to know if I ever need a Hopper replacement. Thanks!

    Many ordering problems

    The Hopper conversion is done. The CSR on the phone said since she deactivated my 922 amd 722k all the dvr recordings are lost! I ordered an EHD which will arrive later this week. When I plug in my 922 to the tv, I am still able to see all the dvr recordings. Will the 922 read the EHD when I...

    722K reliability??

    Either bad luck, poor ventilation, or bad power. I've had the same 722k since it came out (at least 5 or 6 years, maybe longer). The last couple years it was hooked up with the diplexor. I just retired it today for a Hopper with Sling, and it still works without a hitch. The 722k is the best...

    Transferring dvr timers

    I'm getting my 922 and 722k replaced with 2 HWS today. I was wondering if there was any way to transfer the dvr timers from the 722k and 922 over to the Hopper, or do I just have to reprogram manually? I have 1 WD 2TB EHD to transfer the actual recordings from the 922. Am I able to hook it up...

    Hopper Upgrades

    Matt- I did order 2 Hoppers with Sling and 2 Joeys over the phone. I only need 1 Joey with the 2 HWS units. If you or another DIRT member could send me a PM, I would really appreciate it! I also need the order for a 722 that was wrongly placed cancelled as well. Thanks!
