Similar to manual timers, 90-minute show padding is not adequate. I have missed several tennis matches (that had rain delays), because of this 90-minute padding limit. I would like the 90 minutes replaced with 3 hours. That, along with manual timers, are the 2 things that are sorely missing...

You're on the wrong side of this argument. And where did you get that 1% statistic? Hmm? And your "6 step" solution? That was either tongue-in-cheek, or you're a fool. Not sure which yet. I also wonder if you'd be this demeaning, toward your fellow users, if you too had to constantly apply your...

How is it a designed behavior, Dish, when it happens a) randomly, and b) only for some of your Hopper / Joeys? What a joke.

I'm asking because you said it can be accomplished in a couple steps. I don't know how to do it, in only a couple steps, so I would appreciate hearing how. We all would.

A couple steps means two. Step 1, according to you, is clicking the "record" button. What is the final step, to record a live show with what's in the live buffer?

Same problem here. 2 weeks after install, this has started happening to my Hopper. Annoying doesn't begin to describe it.

Step 1: Post the bug on this site's Hopper Zone forum, and ask for help (no need to bother tech support, if it's not a real bug, or if there's already a workaround for it). Step 2: If no fix is available, go to Dish's chat support page ( DISH Customer Care & Service | DISH Support Live Chat )...

Well, it has reverted back to "My Channels" again, after 2 days of working correctly. I contacted advanced customer support, and they they said they would file a bug.

Well, for some inexplicable reason, now it no longer resets back to the "My Channels" list. It has stayed on my custom list, for the last 2 nights. We'll see if it continues to work.

Same boat here. After it reboots from its nightly update, my custom list is replaced with the default "My Channels" list. This bug seems to only affect some Hopper configurations. So far, I haven't figured out what the configuration bug is yet. In the meantime, one workaround is to set parental...

I have 1 Hopper and no Joeys. Only during PTAT, if I'm watching (non-PTAT) channel X, but want to record (non-PTAT) channel Y via the guide (i.e., I click "guide", scroll to channel Y, press "info", and choose "record"), I get "Error 324 Recording in progress." The viewing status screen...

The problem occurs when the main Hopper loses WiFi connectivity with my encrypted, password-protected network (I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]). LER, if you're not having this problem, are you on an open network, or perhaps a network that allows no-password connectivity based on your...

I recommend avoiding WiFi, for the moment, until they fix the software problem that prevents reconnecting, after the Hopper restarts after its nightly update. Use a hardwired connection for now (via the Hopper Internet Connector) until Dish fixes this reconnect bug that I, and others, have...

They just installed the Hopper yesterday (including WiFi). But today, I woke up to this WiFi problem: I tried resetting everything, reconnecting the WiFI USB, even unplugging the Hopper itself: nothing helped. It couldn't even find any WiFi networks (even though there are dozens in my...

I appreciate your very helpful response. Regarding the possible 3rd feed, is that because there needs to be one cable per tuner? If so, indeed he'll need to drill one more hole. That's unfortunate because this is a 110-year-old house, and the last installer (2 years ago) had a hell of a time...
