    Is it possible to record ( set Hopper3) when away?

    We are away for Thanksgiving week. I get emails from my local public tv ( KET) regarding tonight’s and tmrw night’s guide. Normally, I go to the Guide to record when this happens because I am home. I use Dishanywhere with my iPad. Can I use the app to let my Hopper3 (which is 450 miles away!)...

    How do I find model number for Hopper 3 with Sling?

    Hi everybody; I purchased a Samsung tv to replace my aging Vizio yesterday. During setup I was asked to enter information for my provider. I selected Dish from the list. Then the manufacturer's name for the device. That was easy to find. Easy to see 'Echostar' behind the Hopper. Weirdly, the...

    Is Joey2 able to recognize EHD attached to Hopper3?

    Before I switched to Hopper3, I moved some shows from hopper2 to Seagate brand EHD (with its own power cord). My daily tv uses a Joey2. If I connect this ehd to one of the Hopper3's usb port is it only available to tv connected to Hopper3? I am hoping that limitation does not exist. Can I have...

    FF button on remote 52 still hops too much!!

    This is happening a lot with recorded programs. Commercials start. I press FF button (above channel up/down). It jumps 15 seconds(I assume.) The second time seems ok, too. But the third or the fourth push advances the recording more than it should. A minute, 90 seconds? Then, I have to press...
