    How to format (aspect ratio) on 54.0 remote

    They used to have one because the older transmitted channel was in 4:3, so you could set that channel to a wider aspect ratio. I found that out when an installer who was familiar with the area automatically just went to each channel and set it to wide. History now!

    JRyan821 The percentage shown on the screen for your internal hard drive has never meant crap! Sorry you lost those recordings, but the Hopper has its own, super secret, algorithm for updates. I've erased multiple shows my wife recorded, and it's still the same; hit delete for a single one, and...

    Report your EHD issues HERE!

    I'm very sure you know how to do that. See if any directories in the partition are available and just copy the entire directory to another partition. Nothing magic about where they are, the Hopper figures it all out. If anything can't be accessed, then I guess SOL. So after you've...

    2nd Quarter 10K

    If they don't, they will destroy it quicker and not fulfill their federal responsibilities. These are replacement satellites; satellites do have limited life spans. So, it's to keep the company running, or would you prefer they just go out of business?

    Report your EHD issues HERE!

    No, sorry, partitioning won't work because when an EHD is formatted, it's formatted in Linux EXT3 format, and the disk is split up into as many 64 or 512 gig (I'm not at my Ubuntu machine now to hook one up so see the sizes) partitions as will fit. So, regardless of the situation, it formats...

    Check to see the sizes of each. The total size of both cannot exceed 7 gig I have three EHD's all in the USB Switch. 1 is a 6GB Seagate, and the other two are 2TB and 4TB. I can run the 2 and 4 together, but if I want to use the 6, I have to switch off the other two. Sometimes, after I do...

    I just have one question: How can they afford it and how did EDA agree to it without a Bond?

    Thanks, I'll look. If I can stay in Apple TV and still access the Tablo it's a total win for me!

    Left Dish Network

    If they don't fix the current EHD issues and I lose 15 years of recorded programs, the numbers speak for themselves. The recorded programs are the only thing keeping me with Dish. You're right. I can get almost anything I want with streaming, which I have mostly already paid for anyway. I...

    Repairing an EHD

    It was posted by a tech that they know about it and are working on it. And it would be addressed in an upcoming release. Whether or not it will fix already trashed HD's like my 3TB formatted as 1TB and already has programs on it remains to be seen.

    Repairing an EHD

    Dish Tech posted earlier in another thread that 390 and 392 have an EHD bug that they are working on. So before anything happens, I've just suspended using my EHD's I tried to format a 3TB EHD, and it said it formatted fine and even started to accept transfers, but when I looked at the...
