    Hopper 3 H341

    Thanks. I did. weirdly, the plug pull worked yesterday (after a reboot didn't)... The drive was working. today it's missing again, and the plug pull didn't work. I can't mess with it anymore till some recordings are finished. Drive is visible on a PC... And a different HDD did the same...

    Hopper 3 H341

    Hopper 3: I've been having external HDD issues for a few days. I just took the update to 341 but it doesn't seem to be any different. When I plug in the HDD the activity light flashes a few times, but the H3 doesn't notice that it's there. (not sure if it's a SW thing or my pretty old H3 is...

    Tegna Dispute - how much longer?!

    Thanks. Crazy, 25 years. Heck I started with a WebTV box that had "Trick Play" functions. WOW. Wrote a longer message, but too far off the original topic. Congrats on making the change. Change is Hard.

    Tegna Dispute - how much longer?!

    I suppose if I looked I'd find that 80% of what is on those HDDs could be easily streamed.

    Tegna Dispute - how much longer?!

    The TV landscape is a mess. It's all about the streaming services now anyway (Wheel of Time, Star Trek, Mandalorian, etc.). I'm spending more then ever. Biggest thing keeping me on Dish is this stack of hard drives with archived content I'll never have time to watch. OTA is fine for me, but...

    here we go again, another dispute between Dish & Tegna impending

    Sigh, it doesn't end. In this world of streaming the high dollar multi channel pricing is just doesn't make sense. I'm not sure how satellite companies will survive long term. They have to survuve on rural customers with crappy internet (rural internal access is an embarrassment in this...

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    Another annoyance with the lost names under the tiles... When on the "manage recordings" screen. As you select items, they are darkened and the checkmark is added. Without the names underneath is almost see or double check what items are selected.

    U511 Software breaks control of a Remote Hopper3

    Well, once you select an item, the name appears on the right side. It's still a pain though.

    U511 Software breaks control of a Remote Hopper3

    Agreed, I can't tell what some of the recordings are. Again I ask.... Did dish let anyone beta test this thing?

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    Yea, that's a good idea too, but crazy slow (assuming your offloading in real-time somehow). I suppose a few streaming services could replace a great deal of the HDD content (ex: HBO/Sho can be viewed VOD).

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    Sigh, the HWS has been a mess for a long time. This is just more icing on the cake (I'm not sure I can even find the cake under all the icing). I've started backup up to External HDD in prep for a switch. Guess I also gotta start going through looking for old timers to delete. I'm thinking...

    U511 Software breaks control of a Remote Hopper3

    Yea, same problem on the HWS. Geez. Thing is, a high % of Hopper 1 & 2 users have more then 1 box (largely due to the tuner limit). I've kept my two HWS boxes because I'm sitting on about 300 Timers. Dropping to 200 timers is gonna be a bear.

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    yea. I was hoping to use this thread to discuss this bug. I'll be contacting dish soon. This is really unacceptable. Is's an unbelievable bug for a software release. Are any Hopper 1 or Hopper 2 people not seeing this problem (trick play busted between hoppers)?

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    No FiOS in my hood. I'm jealous. Actually Ting is just starting to pull Fiber in my area (Centennial, Co). I'm still thinking it could be a year to 2 before they get to my house. A stack of 20 HDD's filled with TV and Movies and a general hate for Comcast keeps my somewhat stuck to Dish. Not...

    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    This is in the H3 s/w thread. But is a serious bug specific to the HWS with this new software. I'm having this trouble on my HWS (new s/w with the new icons). The trick play is a mess. Same as the original poster, I only see the problem when playing a recording from my "other" HWS. I...
