    Possible MLB Rule Change

    At least with pitching changes you eventually run out of pitchers. As for the DH, I wonder what the average time of a NL game is compared to the AL? Shouldn't that show how much the DH affects the game time? MLB instituted a rule 2 or 3 seasons ago to try and speed up games by preventing batters...

    XFER Hopper to EHD

    I found out that an external power supply is needed for standard 3 1/2" external drives because of the added power they use. If you use a 2 1/2" drive without a separate power supply it should work fine even if not specifically supported.

    No sound with VIP 612

    It could be HDMI related. I had the same thing happen to my H3 yesterday. When I rebooted the H3 and my Denon receiver the sound came back. You may try swapping out the HDMI cable too.

    Is it finally safe to Upgrade to the H3 / Joey 2 from VIP722K's?

    I came from an even older ViP622 that worked for 9 years. When the component video output finally died (the HDMI output had broken years ago) I had to upgrade. Yes, the H3 does have bugs but what Dish receiver doesn't? Many of the ViP series problems were solved with an occasional reboot. That...

    What are the latest dish pointing options for hopper 3

    That was my experience after doing the hybrid LNB swap. In fact, my signal has been more stable since switching from a ViP 622 to the H3 about a month ago.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    Yes it played fine. Today, I watched a VOD movie from Showtime and it didn't give any errors when I deleted it.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    I spoke too soon! I just watched an HBO VOD and when I deleted it the H3 gave me an error message that it lost the network connection. I backed out and everything still worked fine though.

    U332 new software release for the hopper 3

    The only issue I have noticed with U336 and HBO VOD is when I delete a program that I have viewed the H3 reports it lost network connectivity. Everything still worked OK. As for new EHDs, I was able to format a new EHD (USB powered 2.5 inch portable drive) and it is working fine. I think the...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    I am glad Dish gave us the option of 2 updates. Personally, I never pay for VOD movies so it was a non-issue but I used the EHD a lot. HBO and Showtime VOD work fine for me with U336.

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    U331 and U334 didn't see the EHD at all. U336 wants to format the drive even with a DiRT account hit probably because the H3 sees a partition that is not ext3. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    Youtube not working on H3?

    YouTube didn't work on my new H3 with U331 after about 3 days but now does with U336. What is your software version? Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    The problem is my 750 GB EHD is formatted into 3 partitions: partition 1 is ext3 and roughly 1 GB. It has an empty lost&found folder. Partition 2 shows other/no file system (depending on the program looking at it) and 500 GB. Partition 3 is ext3 and roughly 240 GB. I scanned for missing files on...

    Hopper 3 external drives have disappeared

    I got U336 too and can now see my EHDs. For grins I plugged my portable Seagate 2TB USB powered drive in and it said to format so I did. It is working fine off the front USB port without AC power. Go figure! Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    U336 fixed my H3 seeing the old EHD but now there is another issue. My H3 can't use it without formatting first. I had DiRT do a "hit" but no help. The EHD came off of a Vip622 so I suspect there is some kind of a hard drive problem. I used a Linux Live CD and it sees 2 partitions, one a 500 GB...

    U334 - upgrade software button gets you U336

    No, I am saying trying to update the software and/or the resulting reboot killed Dish Anywhere. It said the hopper is not available/offline when the H3 says it is. It is now working again after maybe 30 minutes so maybe it needed time to initialize or something. Sent from my iPhone using the...
