    Watching OTA channels with no satelite signal

    I just had my roof re-done. The roofers put the dish in the "exact" same place, but obviously not quite as I lost all satellite signal. I do, use an OTA for local channels. I however can't figure out how to get around the "searching for satellite signal.....5mins...." message to access the...

    Hooking up OTA, how to

    Thanks Bobby! Really seems like a no brainer.....unless there is something I'm missing. I live in the middle of Dallas, so I don't anticipate any sort of signal issue. I'm betting I'll get signal with a small antenna put on the wall behind my tv.

    Hooking up OTA, how to

    This thread is great! I'm in a similar boat. If I hook up my antenna to the white airTV dual tuner adapter, and then hook that up to my hopper, how does the hopper act? I'm assuming there is a little setup to be done in the menus, however once all said and done: 1) Do the OTA channels...

    H3 OTA Antenna and Local Channels Question

    Thanks! Great info. I'm not using Flex as there are sports channels that I watch that would be lost as not available via flex. Guess I had made a false assumption on the option to ditch the local channel option. More so, option 4 above is a very good point. There are a lot of prime time...

    H3 OTA Antenna and Local Channels Question

    Ok, So as I am assuming is the case for everyone, Dish has started charging me $10/month for local channels. I live in Dallas, TX so all of those local channels that I am paying for I can undoubtedly get using an OTA Antenna (I don't one one, but I live in the city and would be shocked if I...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    I just tried the whole process again with the additional unpairing step mentioned above. When through the restore process on the H3. It seemed to get stuck on the second progress bar just shy of complete. It seemed like maybe it timed out and then it just went to live tv. Checked the DVR...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    Oh....interesting. I didn't think that unpairing would have mattered in the middle....but I'll def give that a shot. I haven't even touched my H3 remote yet. Batteries aren't even in it and never paired. Could it be worth a shot to try to pair it to the HWS and try backing up to the...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    Ok, it has been 72+ hours and still no luck. Just to make sure, here are the steps I'm doing. Can someone please double check me that I'm doing this properly. Connect HWS completely up. Coax, HDMI, CAT-5, and then Power. Link the 40 remote to it. Let the whole system boot up and find...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    Ok, thanks everyone for the input. It has been 2 nights, but not quite 48 hours. Still no luck. CAT-5 Transfer....noted. I'll just give up trying there and stick with the external HDD. Timers: I just tried again. It went through the "Your settings are being restored......" It did 2...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    Ok....Thanks! I'll not mess with it for a while in that case. I'll give it a shot this afternoon after the 24hr mark. With that said, do I need to go back to the HWS after every failed attempt to restore the H3 to re-backup the 40 remote, or does the backup data stay on the 40 remote despite...

    HWS to H3 transition problems

    Ok, I've read a few threads with people who have had similar issues, but I have yet to really find an answer. Just got my H3 installed today. I still have my HSL. I am not having any luck restoring my timers via the 40 remote to the H3, AND I am having no luck transferring my recordings via...

    Hopper "wake up" querk

    I've got a hopper setup in my house with no joeys. I'm running software version S525 NDEB. My hopper bit the dust about 6 months ago. It required a new hopper from dish to be sent. I installed the new hopper and did a restore via the saved settings on the remote, which worked great. Only...

    Well....now the damn thing won't even boot up. It will show the "start up screen 2x, then gets stuck on a black screen. Dish is sending me a new box. However, until then I without TV.....anyone know a trick to get the darn thing booted up? (I currently have my power strip to it turned off...

    Hopper acting weird

    Great......grrrrrr. I'm able to bypass the screen and view the TV normally. No recordings are showing up on the DVR menu. I go to try to see if I can do an external hard drive back up, but when I plug in a hard drive, the hopper just restarts itself.

    Hopper acting weird

    Oh NO!!!! Just did another restart. After reboot, got the message: "your timers have been saved but any recordings have been lost. Select OK to reformat........." Crap! Oddly enough, I'm this same reboot, I seem to have reconnected to the Internet with the hopper as I can now "connect" to...

    No luck with the unplug and restart method. I also had it setting in standby mode all night hoping it may fix itself.....nope.

    Hopper acting weird

    One thing to note, the hopper never really seems like it finishes the guide updates. It slowly progresses, and then it will just hang.....the last time I was watching it it hung on 70% for a few minutes, and then it just disappeared.....as if the hopper gave up trying.

    Hopper acting weird

    Ok, my hopper started acting very strange all of the sudden. I noticed today, that on the guide, normal on the left where it shows all the channel numbers, names, and logos, that the logos had disappeared. I didn't think too much of it. I then noticed that all my DVR recordings (although...

    Dish Anywhere and iPad AV adapter

    I have an update for everyone on this topic. I've had a little success thanks to previous posts. For reference I am using an iPad 2 operating on iOS 6.## I have no clue if iOS 7 and/or newer iPads would make a difference, but from my research, I think not. I am using the most up to date...

    Dish Anywhere and iPad AV adapter

    My thoughts exactly.....seems like it isn't a limitation of the iPad, rather a limitation on the Dish Anywhere app code to not let the video cables work. I don't have an appleTV, so airplay isn't an option for me.

    Dish Anywhere and iPad AV adapter

    My apologies if this topic is already in this forum....I'm sure it is. I did some searching, however, and didn't find anything, so here it goes! I like to watch my DVR/TV via the Dish Anywhere app on my ipad. When I watch movies on my ipad, I use my av adapter cable so that the iPad pipes the...
