Hi all, Almost warm enough to dig out stuff I've had mothballed for years(decades,lol),and setup an FTA system.I know all of my old BUD receivers may not get anything,but may still steer the dishes.I have a 10' and an 8' BUD I want to erect and have one for Ku(Ka maybe?),and the other...

I can remember when I putting up a 8' BUD(C-Band) at my old house in about '94.I had it just flopped off to the side while I was getting SuperJack mounted.The damn thing was completely horizontal,pointing to the new steel church across a 10 acre field.I walked in the house to get something,and...

Breaded chicken strips with Franks's wing sauce.I put that sh!t on EVERYTHING,lol

Well,I'm part of your "club".My Hopper stopped recording only PTAT,so Dish sent a replacement receiver.When I switched to Dish from Directv to get the Hopper package,I lost all of that programming on the Directv DVR.I didn't want to do that again,since we amassed quite alot on the Hopper...

I'm in St. Louis market(KSDK).I really like the auto skip feature.Everytime we watch a skippable show,when the little kangaroo pops up as it's skipping,I literally say"Thank you Hopper".lol.The family gets a kick out of it,Let's face it,before Hopper with my Dish DVR,and even when I had Direct...

Well,read a post on dbstalk that let me relink Joeys easily.I tried what RayC posted elsewhere about plugging/unplugging AC and MoCA in sequence,but after several tries I still couldn't get it to work.So I went to each Joey which were apparently trying to relink to the old Hopper(by the # shown)...

Zach,sent you a PM last night

So now after fighting this setup for over 5hrs due to errors with getting new Hopper authorized,downloading updates,and getting Joeys paired,the EHD won't transfer saying it is linked to another account.The tech just apologized and said the new Hopper had updated software and that's why it...

No problem,I realized that after reading a post about another receiver.Switching to new Hopper now,Hope it all transfers back.Thank You!

This time it formatted the drive,and is supposedly transfering the programming(approx. 14 hrs).Will post again if it transfers back to the new Hopper.Thanks Again!

Well,after staring at the screen saying it was formatting for an hour,(read in another post it should've been like 15 min.),I decided it wasn't going to happen,so I unplugged the USB,gave it a minute to stop,and powered down everything.Letting set for 10-15min.,and keeping fingers crossed.:confused:

TheKrell, Well,I just switched from the eSATA cable to the USB,and the Hopper recognized it,and is currently formatting it.Hopefully,I will at least be able to back up the DVR,even though the PTAT isn't working.Thank you ALL for the help!! I'll post back later about whether the shows actually...

Thank You for the replies! ZachS,I have the EHD plugged into the eSATA port,the only thing I have in the available USB ports is my Sling adapter. keckge,I figured they wouldn't give me permission,but it was worth a try.It would be a lot simpler than all the trouble I've had so far.I didn't try...

Hello, I posted this over at DBSTalk a couple days ago,and have had no replies,so I thought I would try here too,even though several members belong to both: Hello,and Thank You for letting me become a member of your forum! I am having an issue with my Hopper and spent the last couple days...
