I have noticed that Netflix looks better on my Hopper 3 than it did on my Hopper with Sling. I don't have a 4K TV or a super fast internet connection... yet the picture quality is noticeably better. Perhaps Netflix is using the h.265 capability of the Hopper 3.

I would like to participate in this beta test.

Dishnetwork sells an extension cable... or at least they used to. The Dish Part Number is 168178. It is a 10 ft extension cable with the M10 connecter on each end which is needed mate with the Hopper RF remote connector.

The device below was reported to have the "undocumented" side effect of removing HDCP. I do not have one so I cannot confirm.

Although I have not used them, the below devices look VERY interesting. They are a receiver/transmitter pair that sends a QAM modulated signal over coax. A single transmitter can have multiple receivers and a single coax can have multiple transmitters. The system supports 1080p60. There is no...

The limit is in the partition table type used which is determined by the capabilities of whatever version of the Linux kernel used on the system. To support greater than 2TB, the kernel must have GPT partition support.

I currently have 2 Hoppers with Slings, 4 Joey 1.0s, and 1 VIP211K. I would like to upgrade to 1 Hopper 3, 5 4K Joeys, and I still need to keep my VIP211K for use with the tailgater antenna.

I just had my 2 Hoppers upgraded to the Hopper with Sling. Prior to the upgrade I transferred all my DVR programs to EHDs. When I connect the EHDs to the Hoppers, they seem to work OK and I can view all of the programming on the EHDs with no issue. The problem comes when I try to transfer...

I have the same issue... my Hoppers play my MP4 (H.264) 720p DLNA served videos with no problem. My Joeys do not. I have a hard time believing it is a problem with the Joey CPU becuase the same Joey CPU plays all satellite based HD content, 1080i and 1080p, with no problem. The native format for...

I can't prove it, but they (Blockbuster) intentionally adds an extra day of delay wherever possible to limit the number of disks they have to mail. With Blockbuster (One disk per week maximum): I return a disk on Saturday. The disk disappears from my disks at home list on Monday. I...

How many USB OTA tuners can be used on a single hopper? Hopefully more than one.

I was upgraded to 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys installed for $0.00. I also got a $10 per month credit for 12 months for agreeing to a 2 year contract.

I have two hoppers that received that S216 updates this morning. I have four Joeys that are all ethernet connected only (NO Coax). The only issue I see was also present in S213. The Joeys can all see each other and can see both hoppers. The hoppers are the only to devices than can see the DVR...
