    HWS reboot while using Netflix App.

    Mine does not automatically reboot, but it often locks up when exiting and I have to manually reboot. Plus, there is no 5.1 sound, so for Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 (for example), I use my Samsung smart TV which has the capability.

    why can't Dish fix their bugs?

    I changed the priority of the show I didn't want to miss. Then it recorded.

    Vital Program Information Download S503.

    Here, I record the program that precedes "Deadliest Catch , The Bait", then it skips the episode that follows with the message "cancelled by user..." followed by the name of the Hopper I am using (which I did not do) . The repeat of the episode later is then skipped as "already scheduled"...

    Closed Caption Issue

    This works for me, too. Dish first and second tier support have both confirmed to me that it is, in fact, a KNOWN issue. My hopper was replaced Friday due to an apparent bad spot on the hard drive which caused playback to stop thus ruining the recorded shows, and the replacement Hopper behaved...

    CC Problems

    I have found that pressing the * key that zooms in, then selecting normal ( meaning no change) and pressing the big "select" button restores CC to the program I am watching. Then I back up the program to replay what I missed. Seems to work better if the program is paused first. This problem...

    Two HWS and no joeys?

    I had a Hopper and Joey just installed, discovered that it was not to my liking, called Dish, and next morning had two Hoppers and NO Joeys. No muss, no fuss.

    Problems With OTA USB Module for Hopper With Sling

    I just installed my OTA module today. It behaves identically to what you describe. I am running 330. I suspect that it, as well as the EHD problem I also have is caused by a software deficiency that is known and being worked on with a resolution to be sometime mid-month... Ben

    Dish answer to multiple hoppers

    I had a Hopper and Joey installed this past week. We discovered that the combination was insufficient for our needs. Our timers and recordings were all mixed together and we were down one tuner; it was more confusing. Then we discovered that removing the Joey and adding a Hopper was what we...

    EHD????

    I can transfer individual shows, or a few, but much more than that and it simply stops, requiring a reboot of the Hopper. Apparently the USB on the Hopper locks up since merely changing the ports does not solve the problem. I could probably just copy one show at a time, but I'll wait for the...

    Another EHD thread

    I upgraded yesterday as well. I experienced the same results as you describe. This morning, however, I turned it on to discover that the EHD was now recognized with total size, amount free, and I could play from it. I am now copying everything onto the Hopper. IT is a WD powered 512mb EHD that I...
