    Problems transferring movies from VIP 722 DVR to Hopper using Seagate GoFlex 500GB EHD

    As far as I can tell, the Seagate drive has no external power source and thus depends on the USB for power as well as signal. Many report success but the specs for the EHD call for a separate power source.

    Can someone confirm that Dish On Demand is really this bad?

    The OP mentioned Homeland on Showtime. Dish does not carry Showtime on Demand which I would expect would have Homeland episodes available.

    Hopper With Sling, Optical Audio Cutting Out

    I use the Toslink input to my AV receiver. I just realized that when I got my Toshiba TV in 2007, I found that I could use HDMI connections from several input devices and use the Toslink output from the Toshiba to feed my Sony AV receiver. The Dolby 5.1 works fine.
