This is the second Hopper 3 that has had this problem. When I switch to the 4 screen PIP mode, the 4 screens will come up, but 3 of the 4 channels are frozen, 1 channel is displaying fine, and audio works. If I try to switch out of PIP mode, the screen freezes on the 4 screen view, interlaced...

As a closure to this thread, I called in to arrange the return of the equipment, they transferred me to a thinking human, and we worked out a deal and everything is good. It is just so hard to get past the level 1 drones.

Hi all, I have been a dish customer for about 20 years. I moved out of an apartment a year ago in preparation of getting married and called to pause my Dish service for a few months while I transitioned. I was married in the fall and moved into my wife's house. It took a while to get moved in...

Well, my Harmony macro was working fine until the latest update which added all of the CC options. Now, when you are activating CC, after you click on "Yes", the cursor goes over the "Font" options instead of "Save". When you turn CC off, it works as it previously did. Very frustrated that the...

Does the green light stay on after the power button is pressed, or does it go off but the machine is still buffering? Thanks in advance.

I think the moderators are on Christmas break. :)

In a previous thread, they asked for people having the problem to PM the DIRT team with the receiver IDs that had the issue. This tells me that they can't reliably reproduce it in the lab, and that it is intermittent in the field. That will take them longer to fix.

New CC options screw up my macros! :( I realize this is a first world problem, but in the prior firmware, the remote keystrokes to turn CC on and off were the same, so I recorded one macro set for my Harmony remote, labeled it "CC Toggle", and was good to go. Now there are more CC options in...

I think you are overestimating the intelligence, technical acumen, and troubleshooting initiative of the average TV watcher. The fact that you are on this board means that you are in the top 1% of technically aware Dish customers.

Hey hey hey... Who is calling names now? Besides, I didn't "call him drunk", I merely listed it as one of a number of plausible scenarios. I stand by my post! ;)

My analysis is as follows. Either: 1. You are drunk. 2. It was a pre-release update and you got it by mistake. Wait a few hours, check again, and repost. If you see the same version number then either: 1. You are an alcoholic, seek help. 2. It was a pre-release update, and you got it by...

Yes, but the Weather channel just purchased Weather Underground.:confused:

I am in! 2H/3J here. I watch a lot of sports, and am also a IT professional, so use to troubleshooting and systematically reproducing and documenting problems.
