    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Good news! I have not been able to watch OTA locals with my Hopper 3 and original single-tuner OTA module for about a year. I could watch it on the Hopper 3 itself with an occasional break-up/glitch, but on my Joeys the OTA channels were completely unwatchable. I got the AirTV dual tuner...

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    I got my shipping notification today too - Tuesday delivery for me as well (my inner nerd keeps thinking of Star Trek Generations). I'll let you all know if it solves/helps with the OTA glitchy software issue - maybe the software will work better with a newer piece of hardware (I am currently...

    any chance for a new dual tuner ota dongle?

    Before I order this (which I probably will anyway...I'm an engineer and have to see things for myself), will this solve the glitching problem that has been ongoing with the Joeys? I currently have the old single OTA adapter, and the OTA is unwatchable on the Joeys (mostly good on the Hopper 3).

    So Who's Having OTA Problems on Their Joeys?

    Hopper 3 with single OTA - been having this problem for probably a year. Dish doesn't seem to be concerned about fixing it. It used to work perfectly, so something they did caused it to happen, which one would think would make it relatively easy to fix.

    Official SatelliteGuys CBS / DISH Dispute Thread

    This wouldn't really bother me at all if my old single-tuner OTA adapter worked properly with my Hopper 3 - unfortunately, all OTA channels have blocking and tearing and are unwatchable (despite strong signal strength). I have seen mixed reports about whether the dual-tuner OTA module works any...

    Official SatelliteGuys CBS / DISH Dispute Thread

    Is Dish giving free OTA adapters to customers in affected areas? (I believe they did this in the past)

    Backup Question

    Thanks! I do have the CUI. I'll have to take my chances with the EHD - it took about 40 hours to transfer everything to it, and I don't feel like putting it all back. I have seen that some people were having problems with the EHD being recognized with the Hopper 3, but I wasn't sure if that...

    Backup Question

    Thanks in advance for any help on this. I am upgrading this week from a 2 HWS/2 Joey setup to a Hopper 3/3 Joey setup, and I am trying to do as much in advance as possible to make the transition easier. I understand that I can only restore 1 HWS settings to the Hopper 3, so I took the time to...

    Upgrade original Hopper to new UI issues

    My favorite new 'feature' is the change of the # button from 'search' to 'help'. I've been using the search feature since I became a Dish customer 15 years ago....why would they just arbitrarily change it?

    Carbon UI Issues Thread

    Well, I took the plunge over the weekend and forced my 2 HWS to download the CUI (U213). So far I have noticed the following bugs (or 'changes'): - When I change favorite menus, the guide changes, but the title does not. - When I expand my RSNs in the guide, I cannot select them - the...

    Password for Home Media

    Just forced the upgrade to CUI (U213), and I noticed that when I go to Home Media, I no longer get prompted for a password. Parental Controls are on, and set to the same settings as prior to the CUI upgrade. Anyone have the same issue and know if there is a way to require a password for Home...

    Joey 1.0 and Big Ten Channel Problems

    I was trying to watch a game on the Big Ten channel today with my Joey (1.0), and the picture kept breaking up. I turned on the same channel on my Hopper w/ Sling, and everything was perfect. I could actually stand in one spot and see both TVs at the same time, and the HWS was perfect the...

    Timers and 'Moving'

    Quick Hopper question. I have Prime Time Anytime enabled, and also have individual timers set up for prime time shows that piggy back on Prime Time Anytime. If I 'move' to a different city, will those timers disappear, will they automatically update to my new local channels, or will I be able...
