I have been an extremely happy Dish customer for the past 7 or so years. I had the Everything package and loved pretty much everything. My property and the properties surrounding me have lots and lots of trees. I occasionally had issues when the leaves came out with signal loss and last year...

We had a minor thunderstorm that caused my dish signal to go out at 8pm. The signal is back but now PTAT isn't recording at all. This has happened several times before. I don't understand why the receiver isn't "smart" enough to start recording when the signal is back. Even my 622 would do that.

I got a $10 a month credit for 6 months. No offer of a roku but I have a ps3 so I didn't need one anyway.

I'm talking to cust. serv now. So far all I've been offered is 1 free month of Cinemax. :rolleyes: I already subscribe to the "everything" package so I told him that won't do me much good.

My Hopper decided not to record any programs on Fox last night in PTAT. I had flipped through the channels throughout the night and Fox was coming in.

The past 2 days, my Hopper has been recording all kinds of "old" programs. All of my timers are set to record new programs only, but it's taped old episodes of Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Deadliest Catch, Fact or Fiction, just to name a few.

Is there any update on this issue from the Dish people? I've had 2 programs get skipped in the past 2 days. One was a soap opera and there's no chance to record it some other time. I like the "idea" of the Hopper, but these timer issues are absolutely ridiculous. What's the point in having a...

Dustin - I'm not sure how to do that. This seems to be a guide issue, from what Dish told me. I can't get the guide to download. Resetting, unplugging, check switch, removing the card, etc. does nothing. Edit: Just did a restore via controller. Same as before. No timers, no guide.

Sigh, I just talked to Dish. They had me unplug the Hopper. That didn't do anything. They had me do a check switch. That didn't do anything. The guide is empty. So they have to send out an installer. Had the Hopper for less than 2 months and this already. Makes me really happy to be...

I hit my DVR button today to watch some shows that should have recorded, only to find they weren't there. I decided to check the daily schedule and it's empty. All of my timers are gone. PTAT is gone from the schedule. I did a system reboot and they're still gone. Ugh. After being...

Mine varies from almost silent about 70% of the time to sounding like a lawn mower is running one hundred yards away the other 30% of the time.

The same this is happening to me, except it's not recording the rebroadcast either. 90% of the timers record properly, but the others don't record. They all say "Already scheduled" but scrolling through the schedule reveals that they aren't going to record at all unless I manually override it.

I'm having an issue with timers for cable shows not recording. For instance, I have The Killing and Game of Thrones set to record new episodes. Both shows premiere 4/1 but on my daily schedule, the new episodes are x'ed out and marked "already scheduled", but scrolling through as far as the...

Thanks so much for the update, Zach. I'm glad to hear this is an issue which will be fixed.

I agree. This is so disappointing to me. I love PTAT, but the events limit makes it almost impossible to follow many cable shows. It doesn't make sense that the "old technology" 622 didn't have this issue but the Hopper does.
