    Hopper 3 - Corrupted Recordings - Error 04

    I have never used the 4 window multi channel sports bar mode and yet I am getting corrupted recordings. I don't think it's related to using the sports bar mode. Mark

    How do I program a 40.0 remote?

    My in-laws just got a Hopper 3 and Joey 2.0. They hate the new 52.0 remotes, my father-in-law has a hard enough time operating the DVR but the new remote makes it worse. He can't find the buttons he's used to using. I found an old 40.0 and 20.0 remote for them to use. I was able to program...

    OFFLINE MODE banner

    I transferred some TV shows to my iPhone 4s with the Dish Anywhere app. When I watch the shows on my iPhone, if I don't have internet access I get a blue banner across the screen saying "OFFLINE MODE: Some features may be limited or disabled". This banner goes across the screen blocking part...

    Hopper timer not recording per the ending instructions.

    Do you have PTAT turned on for Sunday nights? I think when PTAT is on recording will stop at 10:00 (central time) and it will not record late. I turned PTAT off for Sundays and added 60 minutes to my "The Mentalist" timer.

    Transfers to EHD

    Yes, it is the PTAT recordings that I can't transfer. I turned off PTAT for now but I still can't transfer them. Now that PTAT is turned off do I still have to wait the 8 days or is there any way to speed up the process? Mark

    Transfers to EHD

    They might be PTAT events. I have timers for the shows we usually watch so they are always on the first DVR screen and are saved for more than 8 days. PTAT is on in case there's a show we want to watch that we didn't set a timer for. Mark

    Transfers to EHD

    Has anyone found a way around the problem transferring recordings to an external hard drive? When I go to my DVR I have 11 recordings but when I try to transfer some to an external hard drive it says there are no events. I have a new HWS waiting to replace my Hopper but I'd like to save a few...

    DVR features not working

    I received a call today from someone with Dishnetwork. They said there was a problem on their end but they think it is fixed now. It seemed to be working fine last night when I checked it. He's going to call me back again tomorrow to verify that everything is still working correctly. A big...

    DVR features not working

    Yes, it sounds like your receiver is doing the same thing. I sent a PM to Ray C (DIRT). He said it was not a known issue and he was going to let the engineers know. Mark

    DVR features not working

    This doesn't make sense to me. I played with my Mother-in-laws DVR and my DVR and they both are acting the same way. I cannot pause or record on the local channel 25 (FOX) or channel 13 (NBC). If I pause one of these channels it looks like it is paused, the screen freezes and the counter...

    DVR features not working

    My mother-in-law called me this weekend saying she was having problems with her DVR. They were watching a show and tried to pause it but it wouldn't pause, it kept jumping back to live TV. My first thought was her hard drive died. I told her I would come over this week and look at it. Then...

    PTAT During Football Season

    My solution is to turn PTAT off on Sundays and just set a timer for The Mentalist. I have the timer set to record an extra hour of The Mentalist. If you set the timer to record an extra hour and have PTAT turned on, the extra hour does not get recorded.

    Cost to Upgrade - Are They Getting Ripped Off

    Yes, you will lose HD, R/W/Y is standard def. With your parents original setup only 2 of the TVs received high def. With the Joeys every TV receives high def. That is one advantage to their current setup. Mark

    Cost to Upgrade - Are They Getting Ripped Off

    Take the output of one of the Joeys (red/white/yellow) and feed it into an RF modulator. The output of the modulator will feed the 8 port amplifier and the amplifier will feed the remaining 4 TVs. Mark

    Cost to Upgrade - Are They Getting Ripped Off

    Your parents had 5 TVs all sharing the same TV2 output from the 722. With their new Hopper/Joey setup each of those TVs have their own Joey so they each could be watching something different (depending on which Hopper they were paired with). If your parents don't need the individual control at...

The Mentalist is scheduled from 9:00 - 10:00 but when the football games run late The Mentalist will be later also. Will PrimeTime Anytime record the entire The Mentalist...
