I use a WD Elements 6TB HDD. It has a separate AC adapter for power. Only issue is that occasionally, the nightly reset for the Hopper 3 results in not always seeing the external hard drive afterwards when pulling up the DVR menu, even though it's still plugged into it. Red button reset or...

I assume they would. I'm talking about 9 years ago though. I originally went with WA for my H3, but when I couldn't get the locals in HD and found out it was because of the arc, I switched everything over to EA instead, even though I was getting a stronger signal with WA anyway. And now...

What a pain. The whole reason I switched to EA was because my locals weren't available in HD on the western arc. Hope someone here will keep us updated with at least some advance notice before EA finally gets shut down. I'll need to bother you guys again to make sure I get the correct western...

Just checking, this is the one right, Dish 1000.2 DPP Twin? And I can use the same bracket and mounting arm that I have right now? I know this one is an A4... can't find an A7 yet... but just wanted to make sure I was getting the right one. Also, I only connect 2 coaxes to the first two ports...

Yes. I've been dealing with that exact issue on my 4K Joey for 6 years now. Just ask TheKrell cause he's tired of seeing me post about it. That's why I'm trying to change to a 2-Hopper setup, since the problem never happens on my H3, only on the joey itself. And yes, I have replaced the joey...

Alright, so speaking of ducks in a row, I need to pick your brain again. I just got the DPH42 switch and the power inserter in the mail. I've attached a few photos so you can see my current outside setup, which I've been using this whole time with just one Hopper 3 and a 4K joey. Based off...

There's something I wanted to ask about. The DPH42 that I'm looking at buying says: "Requires Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNBFs. WILL NOT WORK with Hybrid LNBFs." But the LNBF I currently have outside is the DISH 1000.2 DISHPRO HYBRID TWIN (eastern arc) LNBF. So do I need a new LNBF so the DPH42...

A few years ago, I bought a 4K Joey outright, not a rental or tied to any contract or anything. Now I'm looking to sell it. What do I need to do so that the person buying it can actually use it? Right now, it's listed on my account as being "powered off". I assume it needs to be removed from my...

As a fan of game shows, 100% agree. If Buzzr wasn't available, maybe I'd miss GSN, but their current strategy of producing extremely cheap and generic $10k game shows that air 5 days a week and have 100+ episodes a season just causes massive burnout. Oversaturation. Literally, GSN is the only...

Ah, so it is a known issue.

No, it's specifically to fix the problem with the 4K Joey's live feed intermittently freezing. I'll be watching a live program and then randomly out of nowhere, the picture and sound will just pixelate/freeze for 5-10 seconds, then go back to normal. Doesn't matter which channel it's on either...

Okay, so I made an updated diagram just to make sure I understand this right... - 2 Coax connected from outside Dish LNB into 42 switch. - 2 Coax from 42 switch into Duo Hub. - 1 Coax from Duo Hub into 1st Hopper 3. - 1 Coax from Duo Hub into Power Inserter. - 1 Coax from Power Inserter into...

Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again? I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub. The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables...

This is incorrect. Paramount+ may be making money, but not because of shows like Discovery and Picard. These shows are actually losing CBS money because the majority of the fans (customers) are not invested in them. If anything, they're one-and-done series with no rerun value, unlike the...

Weird. Some of the locals are still in a carriage dispute like my NBC station in Buffalo NY, even though the site doesn't list them as under dispute...
