    Arghhh, I am so frustrated with the H3 timers situation

    Yep, my H3 has been skipping Sunday night's episode. It did not skip last Sunday though, since I had cancelled the old timer and created a new one (I have U347).

    Why would an H3 recording jump to the end mid-recording?

    I had this happen consistently on my Hopper with Sling last year for months and months. It was primarily on Bravo, but would happen elsewhere sporadically. I had it replaced twice, and it still did it, until Dish finally upgraded me to a Hopper 3. It has worked fine until about three weeks...

    U347 for H3

    My U347 came down yesterday and my guide page of my favorites is still frozen on the lowest eight channels. Still can't scroll above or below those eight channels, and I still can't direct input a channel and go to that channel in the guide. It just won't go. After talking with Dish for a...

    4K Joey U475 Guide Weirdness

    So I was told last week that a fix would be coming on March 16. As of yesterday nothing has changed, and the Dish rep I talked to said that nothing had been done by them yet. Dish, when are you going to fix this? I'm still getting all the problems that are mentioned, including skipped...

    Harmony Remote & Hopper 3

    Same here with my Harmony 890 in one room and a 700 in another room. In addition, it's great still having the Red-Green-Yellow-Blue buttons on the Harmony that got dropped from the 52.0 remote!

    4K Joey U475 Guide Weirdness

    I had a Hopper w/Sling and a Super Joey and they both did this. Also doing it with my new Hopper 3 and 4k Joey, so it's clearly a Dish software issue. You CAN scroll out to the right and back, but you won't be able to jump 2-1/2 hours ahead or skip forward 24 hours. Those are locked too. And...

    Any screensaver anywhere?

    Samsung plasmas have a screen wiping mode where vertical bars from white through several light to dark grays and then to black scroll sideways across the screen. Leave it on overnight and it does a good job. I find it interesting that even a $49 Roku has a screensaver with adjustable start...

    Any screensaver anywhere?

    When I put a show on hold because I get a phone call and leave the room for 20 minutes, for example, the picture never defaults into a screensaver mode. I have two large plasmas, and the oldest one from 2010 gets image retention (Samsung 8000 series). This scares me. My 612 used to burn the...

    Stopping/deleting EHD recordings alway dump back into DVR?????

    It's from a Super Joey, not a 2nd HWS. So when I delete an EHD recording, it always dumps back to the HWS recordings? How convenient.....

    Stopping/deleting EHD recordings alway dump back into DVR?????

    Am I missing something? If I have 10 Louie's recorded and I finish one and want to go to the next, the HWS defaults to the main DVR, making me have to go through all the button pushed just to get to the next show? Is there a workaround that is lurking somewhere out there? Is this truly...

    Does the 40.0 Remote emit an IR signal?

    What I mean is that I want the Harmony 890's UHF to be able to also control the HWS's UHF. This will allow me to do all the one-button viewing/listening options through the 890. Even if I use both remotes in UHF mode, I'll lose the one button feature from the 890. I currently have the Hopper's...

    Does the 40.0 Remote emit an IR signal?

    I have a HWS and have used a Harmony 890 quite happily for several years. It emits UHF that goes to the little transmitter that sends IR through mousetails to each of my components. I need the UHF ability due to my entertainment center plus listening to the Dish outside. HOW can I get the...

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I just got my free 3 months of HBO, Cinemax and Showtime and $10.00/month for one year. I'll need to save up the $$$ for the HD feeds of the shows I will be missing (?) at Amazon Instant Video.

    Epix fans take note -Netflix streaming

    Does EPIX edit movies? I watched Godfather 1 the other night and even though there was nudity, and of course violence, I could swear snippets had been cut out. Is it just my memory?

    Moving the recorded movies between receivers.

    Let me see if I have this right: I have paid for my EHD privelege, and I have about 25 HD movies on my EHD. I just got a 612 in another room and want to watch those movies in my den. When I plug in the EHD in my 612 for the first time, it will format the drive and erase everything on my...

    Setting timers online from a BlackBerry

    I have tried using the typical links using the web address on my BB and I cannot connect to Dish/Sling to see my DVR. Any hints, or is the mobile app just not available?

    HDMI cables that "snap" onto a screw head

    That would work, other than so many people having threading issues. I too would need this to go into a Dish 622. I just looked at my new Oppo 3-port switcher and it doesn't even have the screw holes above the ports, so I guess I'll worry about it if I have issues. I'll use the connector I...

    HDMI cables that "snap" onto a screw head

    When the HDMI out on my 622 was having solid connectivity issues, I asked about it in this forum and was referred to a company that made cables where you screwed in a small screw into the hole over the HDMI port, and then a matching metal doo-hickey on the top of the HDMI cable would snap over...

    No response from CEo@echostar

    I sent two emails to ceo@echostar.com and neither one has been answered. First one went via yahoo.com, the second one I copied and sent via blackberry. It was a complaint about losing Smithsonian; how many PBS-type channels are they going to 86 before we're watching nothing but...

    External HD results: Drives Working Properly

    Thanks, KAB. I thought it would be a little more sophisticated than that. Power off is one thing, pulling the USB out of the HD is easy, but pulling the USB out of the 622 so that the 622 will let me use a thumbdrive up front is a pain in the neck due to the cabinet I have my components in...

    External HD results: Drives Working Properly

    I just bought the 750 gig Essential, and I thought it was supposed to spin down when the receiver was off and spin up when the 622 turned on. The green ring is on 24/7 and I can hear the drive spinning. Seriously, am I supposed to unplug it from the 622 whenever I'm not using it? That sounds...
