    HWS to iPad to HDTV

    My daughter is living with us while in grad school. She has a 40" TV but no Joey. I am considering ways to get her a signal without getting a joey. Split the Kitchen Joey's HDMI signal and run a HDMI cable to her room. (She'd have to watch the same thing as the kitchen was watching). Run a...

    ipad needs to connect to hopper every 30 days

    My daughter is in Europe for 4 months. Before she left, she loaded her iPad with a bunch of movies transferred from her Hopper. She just let me know the iPad will not play them anymore because it hasn't connected to the hopper in the last 30 days. Apologies if this is a known limitation. I did...

    Fees increasing?

    I looked into upgrading a joey to a HWS. Asked DIRT. As part of the response, he informed me the DVR fee was going up from 10->14 and the Hopper (HWS, only?) was going from 7->14. Anyone else heard this?

    Hopper kind of dead

    We were watching ESPN last night and the picture was very unsteady. It would skip every few seconds regardless of the channel. Tried a red button reboot and it was even worse. No audio and large gaps in the video. Unplugged the unit for 5 minutes and it shows the restart hopper screen and then...

    40.0 remote address change

    We're having issues with our remote working consistently. The hopper it's paired with is in a different room. The remote works intermittently and with a noticeable delay. We can deal with the delay if we know the key presses will always take, but the combination makes things very frustrating...

    My Hopper not present

    Just got a hopper with 2 joeys installed Sunday. I tried to play back something from my EHD (from a 622), but I couldn't find it in any of the menus. I contacted Matt and he suggested rebooting. After rebooting the EHD, it showed up in the DVR menu and I was able to see the content I put there...

    Saving timers for reload into Hopper

    I went through this a couple of years ago when my 622 was replaced due to a flaky HDMI port. At the time, my only option was to take pictures of my timer screens and re-enter them in the new machine. Pain in the butt. With the Hopper coming, I'm wondering if there is a more elegant solution...

    UHF remote troubles

    I have a single 622 feeding 4 rooms. 2 rooms share TV1 output and 2 rooms share TV2 output. I have 4 remotes. At least 2 are 6.3 remotes. The other 2 came with the receiver. One of those is in the room with the receiver. The other is in the room next to it (kitchen). This all worked great until...

    Saving 622 timers possible?

    I have a 622 that had the HDMI port go flaky for a week or so before finally giving up the ghost. I've got a replacement coming Monday. Is there any automated way to save the timers to a newer remote or Dish Remote Access? I'd hate to have to enter them all over again. Edit: I found the...

    622 remote control help

    I need to control TV1 from 2 locations. One will not have line of sight so I need a UHF remote. In the past I've seen posts here referring to 6.1 and 6.3 remotes that will do the trick. When I looked at DishStore, I only see a 6.3 remote and it looks like the jack of all trades, but there are no...

    622 recorded wrong channel

    My wife went to watch Survivor that was recorded last week on CBS-HD. The info screen said it was Survivor, but when played, it was actually Earl and The Office, which was being recorded on the other tuner. Both those shows were previously watched and deleted. Pressing the info button during...
