    Hopper Wish List - What to change

    This is true Poke but only for the "My Recordings" screen that shows what has already been recorded. If you are looking at the "Channel Guide", you have to click the "info" button to see the "First Aired" date to know if it's a new show.

    I NEVER watch the commercials on my recorded shows and have not had any problems deleting non-PTAT recorded shows.

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    What I like about BB@Home is that I can immediately exchange my online discs at my local BB store (across the street from me) for a recent Blu-ray release, which I do at least once a week. With Dish Cinema charging $6.99 a pop for the latest PPV HD movies, paying $10 a month for BB is a lot...

    Shared Playback with hopper and joey?

    Agarrett, I agree with you. It''s the one option I regret giving up when I upgraded from my 2 VIP 722's. The single mode option (vs. the dual mode) allowed me to do that with TV1/TV2. The downside, of course, was that I was limited to SD signal on TV2 even though I had 2 HDTVs connected to each...

    Dual Hopper Intergration (From Team Summit)

    King, I agree with you. Actually, the functionality WAS possible at release. The Joey came with that functionality at release. Joeys can already see and access multiple Hoppers. What was the delay in adding the same technology to the Hoppers?

    Auto Hop Explained

    I don't know about a lawsuit. As you said "Replay ALMOST got sued". How much of a leap is it from a recording device allowing one to manually skip (or not) commercials to allowing one to auto-skip (or not)?

    My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

    Myron, I remember reading somewhere that even if one has an HIC installed each Joey also requires a separate Ethernet connection to the home network to be able toaccess DLNA. Of course, I've also read that the Joey only needs the HIC to access DLNA so who knows. Do you have HIC installed on one...

    Hopper S208/S209 Software Release Notes

    Bobiii, does your channel 7 in LA happen to be the FOX channel?. I have the same problem with channel 28 (FOX) in Columbus, OH. Ii will not save to my favorite's list on the Hopper or the Joeys.

    gjcavana, my DVR was 34% full before my update to S209. After the update, it changed to 17%. That's how I knew the additional space was automatically added.

    $100 for Hopper + $95 for technician - is this right?

    Sparch....Most definately I mentioned that I had researched DirectTV's whole home DVR system and it was a viable alternative for my needs, especially since as a "new" customer I would get ALL of my equipment and installation with $0 upfront costs. I also told them I thought it was...

    $100 for Hopper + $95 for technician - is this right?

    FuzzFace. While the advertisement is meant for new customers only, you can negotiate for a better deal as a "valued" existing customer or a potential new customer with another provider. I have been with Dish for 4+ years with excellent credit (auto-pay). I have the Top 250 programming and the...

    Hopper S208/S209 Software Release Notes

    How can I tell if S208 (or any future upgrades for that matter) has been download to my Hopper? Is there some screen in settings/system info where that information is available?

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    I have the same thing happening on my 1H/3J setup. The FAV list on my Hopper just won't keep FOX HD on the list, even after I "SAVE" it. It works fine on the Joey's. If I want to record something manually on FOX HD, I have to do it from one of the Joey's or switch to the "All Channels" or "My HD...

    Post Your Dish Hopper Install Experience: Did You Survive?

    How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? I had 1 Hopper and 3 Joey’s installed to replace two VIP 722 HD/DVR receivers servicing 4 HDTV’s. Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? Yes. I paid $0 for the equipment upgrade and installer visit (I have a service contract)...
