Hopper Plus

[John2021]

Thank you!

Welcome!!! we have a hopper 3 and a joey 4 and a wireless joey without all of that extra crap service has been smooth and reliable . only had to call in once to get a remote replaced since it would not light up..

Things like youtube and being able to download apps like on a roku

Its me again. I am trying to get my hopper to work without the hopper plus, but I keep getting a "signal not found" message on my tv. My connection before was cable from satellite to hopper 3 w/ sling. USB to hopper plus, hdmi from hopper plus to audio receiver, then hdmi to tv. Right now, I have the connection with satellite cable to hopper plus, then hdmi cable from hopper to tv. (I left out the audio receiver connection in case that was causing a problem too. ). I did get a message that the hopper plus wasns't connected to the hopper and I would need to do that, but then that went blank and now all I get is the signal not found message.

My current connected statement above was incorrect. My current connection is cable from satellite to hopper 3, then HDMI from hopper to tv. Took out the hopper plus and audio receiver. Still get signal not found. I did push the reset button on the hopper 3, and have powered off an on by unplugging several times, but so far, no luck. I did manage to convince the Dish folks to send out a technician, but it will be 4 days.

Do this, and follow the instructions exactly. These instructions come from Partysox who is extremely knowledgeable on the subject.

Switch the HDMI cable from the + to the H3 and just unplug the power brick from the +, You don't have to unplug the usb cable. Don't reboot the H3 you will have that blue screen just wait the H3 will reboot on its own it may take 10-15-20 minutes to reboot, after reboot if you get a no signal popup hit guide go to a channel you know enter.

He doesn't need to send it back. It costs him nothing.

Has been a problem since it rolled out. Some say it works fine, but a lot of people have discarded it

i know when we had the gemini box. one of our sony sets didn't like it what so ever strange things would happen. it's been doing good with the joey 4 though. maybe it was a software glitch who knows. it was a known issue with the gemini box and some sony sets as well as it was hit or miss depending on the model...

did bobby's advice work

No, it hasn't.

We have a Hopper 3/Plus in the office. It NEVER has problems. I never have calls for my guys to fix a plus. You guys are living in fear leftover from the early days of the plus.

The Plus was a MESS when it was first released, but now it is really solid and a nice add on. I highly recommend it.

AMEN. Apps in the Plus are awesome. Really work great. It is so nice the Dish remote works everything. No need to switch TV mode and then grab my Firestick remote. Thanks Scott & all other beta testers helping to fine tune the Plus into a great succes.
