    HBO East SD & HD?

    When you select a show while right arrow browsing, there is no SD/HD option. The one channel shown is HD, and when a show is selected from there the record options don't include a choice either. Just wondering how I managed to get SD when it is impossible to select in that way.

    HBO East SD & HD?

    Shouldn't both HBO East channels (SD & HD) be listed when browsing with the right arrow? It wasn't a problem until I recently set a timer for Game of Thrones and the SD channel was somehow chosen. Guess I wasn't holding my mouth right. Forget the attachment. I didn't realize there were 2...

    new dishanywhere.com website not working... sorta

    Specifically, just delete cookies with "dishanywhere" in the name. I'm using the latest, stable Chrome and it only works once for me before I have to delete 'em.

    Hopper timers sometimes show online and on DRA app, other times not... why?

    Full 2 hopper integration coming?

    The timer thing would be solved for me if they'd get the dish online web thing working. I prefer the web interface, but it is hugely flawed at the moment. 90% of the time I have to create a dummy timer just to get in, and then when I create a real timer the settings aren't what I've chosen...

    Dish Online: Why aren't my timers showing up? (re: Hopper)

    This started working for me today on both Hoppers. Maybe it was a fluke...

    How is Hopper/Joey on over heating?

    For posterity: This cooler lowered my average temp to 122° inside a 3' square cabinet (3 120mm exhaust fans). It took more than 2 weeks for the temp counters to change. Just noticed lt nearly doubled in price to almost $6!

    Shows are being cut off a minute before the end of the show. Why?

    You can see proof of this by viewing the Daily Schedule of back-to-back shows. When I had it set to 3E/1L or 1E/1L the first show's ending time was ignoring the late padding and was set to the start time of the next show. When I changed it to 2E/2L the end time of the first now overlaps, I...

    Shows are being cut off a minute before the end of the show. Why?

    This has been bothering me for years and I'm wondering why I haven't seen more people griping here. If I have an available tuner, why can't both programs be recorded when they overlap? Actually, it would just need to save that piece to 2 separate files and one tuner is all that's needed.

    Hopper Timers not visible online or via iOS App

    Dish Online now says the the 'recorder is offline' and there's a button to Reconnect. It doesn't, of course, but the new timer trick still works.

    Hopper Timers not visible online or via iOS App

    This didn't fix it for me. The only time I can see timers on either of my hoppers is when I have been actively using one and it hasn't timed out due to inactivity (not 100%) or if I set a timer online first (100% so far).

    Hopper manual timer

    I use my TV as an alarm clock and have a manual timer to set the channel.

    How is Hopper/Joey on over heating?

    I used this one on my Joey. It would be perfect except that 2 of the feet are shorter than the others. I guess to angle a laptop. http://amzn.com/B0070ZHY6G

    How is Hopper/Joey on over heating?

    Mine shut down citing a temp of 172. I put a usb fan under it (no room for vertical mount) and it feels much cooler to the touch, although none of the 3 temp counters have changed in 3 days since. I chatted with Dish support level 2 and was told they should get updated by diagnostics nightly...

    Hook up Joey to Broadband too???

    I have 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys each individually hardwired to ethernet. No 'unlinking' or other side effects to my knowledge. The installer said it wasn't necessary but shouldn't be any better or worse. All 4 have dropouts when streaming local video, but I assume that is buggy DLNA code.

    Can't do my own installation?

    My installer had preloaded the Hoppers and they were up in minutes.

    Can't do my own installation?

    Turns out doing my own installation would have ended in failure. The geniuses at my aforementioned Dish dealer had apparently used an LNB setup that caused the 3 satellite feeds to not come down on every coax. Fortunately, Satellites Unlimited came this time (Dish must have finally heeded my...

    Can't do my own installation?

    Already did that, thinking I would be the installer. Gonna have to yank my diplexer for the OTA antenna in the attic, but the rest is child's play. Made sure all the coax labeling was still readable and started working on my self restraint. Note to self: no caffeine tomorrow.

    Can't do my own installation?

    If most customers got it right it would save them money, but I'm guessing Dish has been doing this long enough to know that most don't get it right and/or the repercussions from failed attempts outweigh the profit. Thanks for all the great replies. Installers arrive tomorrow to begin angering...

    Can't do my own installation?

    In my experience/location that is always the case. 95% of the time, it's this one outfit I mentioned above. A few times it was another bunch. I always try to specify, but the Dish reps insist they can't do that.

    Can't do my own installation?

    They are a retailer. If they get the nod, I'm going to ask them if I can do it myself when they call about the appointment. Don't want to even speak to them unless i have to. There's no love lost between us and they know my skills, so they might cave.

    Can't do my own installation?

    I'm going from a 922 (just died), 722 and 2 211s to 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys. I also have a 44 switch that I installed unbeknownst to Dish. My dish was upgraded a few years go to the latest/greatest. The operator didn't hesitate to deny me and i doubt she knew what was required. She also...

    Can't do my own installation?

    I'm sure that true in most cases, but this is an upgrade (no dish work needed) and I have 40 years of experience in electronics, networking, wiring, etc. If I couldn't manage to plug the new receivers in and get them working, I could make a call and Dish would be none the worse.
