    Hopper 3 external drives have disappeared

    Add me to the list. I have 2 500gb and 1 1tb (wd my book) which were attached to H2K before I upgraded to H3 in January. All have been working fine until recently. Now the 500gb drives are still OK, but the 1tb MyBook is not recognized. I have rebooted, unplugged and plugged, etc. with no joy.

    Why no H3 for me?

    I was able to hook up with Chris_S, and after some back and forth, he was able to get me set up. Thanks, DIRT. It seems Dish's system was showing I had 4 orbitals instead of the 3 that I actually have.

    Why no H3 for me?

    Tried to upgrade yesterday via chat (twice). Currently have H2K and Joey 1.0 and would like to have H3 and Joey 2.0. Was told by both CSR's I chatted with that I couldn't upgrade because the H3 is not compatible with my area. I am in mid-Missouri and my locals are on 61.5. All main channels...

    OTA Module Failure?

    rglore, thanks for the response. After the panic had subsided, I tried exactly what you suggested, and things are back to normal. I switched the USB ports which forced a reboot, and everything is working again.

    OTA Module Failure?

    Started watching an OTA channel this morning, and everything was fine. After about a half hour, I suddenly got the "The offair signal has been lost" screen (Error 739). After waiting a few minutes thinking it may be a glitch with the station, still no signal. I then tried other stations (no...

    Features you wish the hopper had

    Time Remaining on Recording I know this may be a little anal, but I would like to be able to press Select to see the time remaining when watching a recording. If I remember correctly, it worked this way on the 722. I know I can pause and un-pause to see the time remaining, but it would be...

    Hopper Install at Billing Address not Service Address

    I moved back home before my upgrade, but they did not change the locals (yet). So I have not had to "move" back.

    Why doesn't this work?

    All cabling is RG6 and has been in place for some time. My problem is with the Joey, not the Hopper. It is about 20' from the point of entry to the Hopper. I tried running a temporary cable from the tap to the Joey, but that did not correct the problem. I tried unplugging the Joey...

    Why doesn't this work?

    I have a 1 Hopper and 1 Joey installation. I'm wanting to move the Joey from it's current location close to the main TV to a TV in the upstairs bedroom since we have purchased an HD TV to replace the current SD TV there. Current setup - this works Solo node installed at dish approximately...

    S 237 What is in it?

    Still waiting for S237. However, since my Hopper install on 1/11/13, my Caller ID had not worked until 2/13/13 when it suddenly started working. I had called Dish previously because the Caller Id was not working despite hard resets, etc. They had told me the new firmware should fix the...

    Hopper Upgrade - 2 problems

    I upgraded from a VIP 722 to 1 Hopper and 1 Joey a week ago yesterday. I'm having 2 small problems I'm seeking advice on. The first problem is Caller ID. I've read here that some are having intermittent problems with getting Caller ID, but it can be restored with a reset. However, I've not...

    Cloning EHD

    Apparently, this is correct. The ext3 file system is not native to the Mac OS. However, there is a driver from Paragon that can be added to give access to ext3 drives. For those who may not know, you can boot a Mac into "single user mode" which gives access to the unix command line. I do...

    Cloning EHD

    I've read here that this can be done using Linux. Can this be done with a Mac (OS x 10.5.8) using Terminal? I've purchased a larger drive for my 722 DVR, and want to use the current drive for our computers. Thanks.

    Do you Have an EHD?

    I also love my 2 EHD's, but would like to have them hooked up and online together through a hub. That would make my 9 rating a 10.

    Dish on electric utility pole?

    Several years ago, we moved to a place in the country with lots of trees. Fortunately, there was a fairly clear view of the southwest sky, and I installed our Dish system getting 110, 119, and 129 (HD). A couple of years ago, Dish put up our HD locals (Columbia, MO) on 61.5 only. There are a...

    Another 119/110/61.5/129 Question - Wiring

    Pepper, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my HD locals (Columbia, MO) are only available on 61.5. I used to have 110/119/129, and then Dish put my HD locals on 61.5 so I put up another dish for it. That's why there is another dish aimed at 129 but not currently in use. Since this will...

    Another 119/110/61.5/129 Question - Wiring

    I currently receive 119/110/61.5 and want to add 129 because, well, you know..... Current setup is as follows: Dish 500 with DP Plus Twin pointed at 110/119. 61.5 wing dish to DP Plus Twin. There are 2 wires running from dish to house, but only 1 is currently in use going to a separator...

    L623 reboot with EHD hangs a while.

    I have noticed this behavior also. As it happens, I added a new EHD at about the time this started, and as I have added additional movies to the new EHD, the time it takes has gradually gotten longer. It seems to be checking each item on the EHD and as more items are added, it takes longer. I...

    Finding 61.5????

    Found satellite, now what? Thanks to all the great help I found here, I purchased a meter, set the elevation up to 38 and found 61.5. I was able to peak the dish using transponder/spotbeam 3 which is the SB my locals are on. However, I have lost some of the other HD channels due to low...

    Finding 61.5????

    The reason I was using check switch is because when I re-connected 129, I had to run check switch before the point dish screen would find it. So when I was trying to adjust the 61.5 dish, I would run check switch and then go to the point dish screen. I really appreciate all of the suggestions...

    Finding 61.5????

    Yes, I used a level to plumb the mast. It may not be perfect, but it is very close. I'm using a Dish 500 dish with the skew set to 0°. The lnb is in the slot for 119.

    Finding 61.5????

    I just looked at the calculator and it shows elevation 34.6 and azimuth 137.6. Since I started at 34 and 135 and adjusted left, right, up and down from there, I think I would have covered those, but thanks for the suggestion.
