    "Could not reach DISH. Please try again".

    My Google Assistant on my hopper stopped working about 4-5 days ago. Now, it doesn't matter what I ask it to do, it just pops up a selection of movies or shows. If I say, "Turn off Living room light", I get the same nonresponse. If i say "What's todays weather?", same nonresponse, just icons...

    H360 on H3 has arrived

    Received H360 on my Hopper3. Date and time show 08/07/2023 @ 4:57PM. When I turned on the H3 this morning it said total signal loss, so I immediately checked to see if a new version had come in. About a minute later, the channel appeared for about 20 seconds and then disappeared again. This...

    Internal Hard Disk Drives in Dish Receivers,

    Is there any way to test the HDD in an H3 without removing it?

    Hopper 3 H351

    Ha, I'm not mad at anyone. To my knowledge though, this never happened (to me anyway) before H351. Storms are gone now. If it reboots for some other reason, I'll let everyone know.

    Hopper 3 H351

    Same story different day. Every time it loses signal, whether OTA or DISH, the H3 reboots. Getting tiresome.

    Hopper 3 H351

    Update, Sat. signal returned for about 10 minutes, then total signal loss again. This time I just left that screen on hoping it would reconnect shortly. About 3 minutes later, H3 rebooted again.

    Hopper 3 H351

    Thunderstorms right now, total signal loss. I switched to an OTA station, when it also lost signal, my H3 rebooted.

    Hopper 3 - Version H348

    I have done a soft reset (home,home,home,tools, reset hopper) and after that did a hard reset (remove from power, let sit for a while, and plug back in). After that it did record the programs it was supposed to and it allowed me to watch recorded programs all the way through without stopping...

    Hopper 3 - Version H348

    Anyone else received H348 on their H3? I would never have known I got it except it missed a couple of recordings and the first thing I always check is to see if an update has been applied. It also gets about 9-10 minutes into a DVR'd program and then suddenly stops and shows something strange...

    Dish, Mission Sign Temporary Pact Due to Coronavirus

    I am going to be upfront and plead ignorance. Who is paying whom on DISH-local channels? Does DISH pay the local channels to retransmit or do the local channels pay DISH to retransmit?

    Screen going black

    Just happened to me on Motor Trend and twice yesterday on DIY and HGTV. Usually just lasts a minute or three.
