    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.

    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!

    Hopper 3 EHD Questions

    It has been connected all the time to my Hopper. I have not tried moving it yet. That is why I posted the questions as I wanted to make sure it was possible without shutting them both down. Should the non-EHD Hopper be able to see the EHD files on the EHD Hopper? I can see the Hopper files on my...

    Hopper 3 EHD Questions

    I have two Hopper 3’s connected via a DPH42 switch. My wife uses one for all her recordings, and I use the other for mine and also use mine in the RV when traveling. I have a 2TB EHD on my unit. I would like to transfer her recordings to my EHD when we travel and back when we return. 1. I've...

    Cooling usb fan. Necessary or absurd?

    While using the hopper 3 in my RV, I put slim foam pieces along the sides on both top and bottom to secure it when traveling, even though I turn it off also. I guess it also helps with ventilation also, but that wasn't the original intention.

    Cooling usb fan. Necessary or absurd?

    If I were to put a usb fan on the Hopper 3, I would not plug it into the Hopper USB port, but rather use an USB power supply in an outlet.

    Proposed two Hopper 3 Installation

    I went thru a local dealer in Tulsa, Graves Satellite. He/Dish furnished my H3, Hub, & 2 wireless joeys. However, I purchased the Bluetooth adapters and OTA USB. He charged me less than advertised prices and also gave me the 1000.2 WA dish. However, in all fairness, I did install it all so he...
