    WAP (Wireless Access Point) Signal

    How do you change that in the WAP. I thought the WAP was an independent Wi-Fi from my internet router dedicated only to the connection between the Hopper and the Joey's?

    WAP (Wireless Access Point) Signal

    Yes, as I said, rebooting (Powering down) corrects it, but it seems to only do it in the evenings. I moved both WAP and Joey into open areas (They have been in cabinets for the last 5 years) and am waiting to see if it does it again.

    WAP (Wireless Access Point) Signal

    I have a WAP (Wireless Access Point) on my Hopper 3 with two wireless Joeys. They have been working fine for 5 years. I am now getting dropped links and screen freezes on my Joey, mainly in the evenings for some reason. Hopper 3 is working fine. Rebooting the Joey and/or WAP corrects it. I think...

    Dish Hopper 3 Doesn't recognize external hard drive

    My bad! I thought you were trying to find a place to watch it. I guess you were trying to find an alternative source so you could drop dish?

    Satellite or Receiver?

    Live TV then Recall! All these years I have been trying to determine the Satellite I was on. That is so simple.

    Dish Hopper 3 Doesn't recognize external hard drive

    I have two Dish Hopper3's interconnected and both have external hard drives which have worked for several years. My wife and I are both able to watch programs recorded on each other's Hoppers. Recently, when I went to transfer some programs from the internal HD to the external HD, the external...

    Loss of Signal in Rain

    Good idea! I do have the OTA antenna hooked up but "unscanned" them. Maybe I will put back in for rainy weather!

    Loss of Signal in Rain

    Is it normal to have a complete loss of signal during a thunderstorm? I would have expected the signal to drop, but not go completely away.

    Proposed two Hopper 3 Installation

    You need a DPH42 switch that uses the first three ports on the LNB. See the drawing I posted at the front of this post.

    Proposed two Hopper 3 Installation

    Are you using the dish remote that came with it? Do it first and then any aftermarket ones you want to use.

    Hopper 3 EHD Questions

    Thanks, I think I like the separate EHD option better. That will keep the wife happy!

    Hopper 3 EHD Questions

    That is what I was thinking also. When I select to transfer files from my EHD it will only allow to my Hopper, but when I use DVR to watch a show it will show my wife's if I select it. What do you think about having two EHD on one Hopper? Thanks for you help!
