    My Cloud hopper transfer

    I have both a 2tb and a 3 tb ehd hooked up and working on my hopper 3. Also, on the hopper 3 (and possibly other hoppers), you can transfer from one hopper to another via an Ethernet connection between the 2. Go to settings, Diagnostics, tools, restore recordings. It takes quite awhile to...

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    I am aware of the hybrid hub. However, this is not a Single Wire Multi switch. If it were an SWM switch I would've had no need to try it. Plus, it would seem that we could possibly come up with a multi port SWM switch simular to what Direct uses, instead of splitters behind the hub. Less parts =...

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    I haven't used ANY none compliant equipment on ANY customer installs. I was excited that I had figured out that it would work and shot off my mouth that we could maybe "save a buck" before I thought through the implications of what I was suggesting.

    i did this on my system. Not on a customers system. Maybe dish will to come up with a similar switch (because we try different setups in our shops or our own systems). I didn't think through the whole "approved equipment" thing before I posted that. Not a brilliant thought on my part.

    No, it is not. I constantly test new things to see what works and didn't mean to suggest that we all go out and use used equipment. I really put my foot in my mouth implying that we use SWM Switches. Try them at your shop and let your DNSC contacts know what works.

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    I get that, I really do. However, using a SWM switch in place of the network hub by no means takes away from my install, nor means that the job is done poorly. I have done many mods on installs in the past that allowed me to accomplish what (without the mod) would've never been done. If none of...

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    So, because of the new hybrid LNB and the way that it's wired through the network hub, I got to thinking... This is a SWM system. So, I took out the network hub and replace it with a directv SWM switch. I currently have a Hopper 3 and one 4K Joey. It works perfectly and has been doing so for...

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    If you meant "list", there might be but I only got it in a bag, not the box it would come in. That's a great idea though. I'm gonna google it and see if there is anything out there. (Although it is somewhat rewarding when I find a new command that works) lol

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    They are not out yet. I was in a "special" situation where I was able to whine myself into one.

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    "Turn off" works. That's one I hadn't thought of. Not sure why I'd use it since I could just hit the power button. "All off" would be a cool one though. "Live TV" was just tried and works!

    Fast forward is FF. If I ask it to "skip ahead" or "skip commercial" I get "No results found".

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    UPDATE ON FEATURES: Okay, so I have played with it for about a week. The voice part is cooler than I thought at first. For example; if I say "NBC" or "Discovery" it will change to that channel. "settings" opens settings. "Green Bay Packers" opens up Dish sports and shows info on the pack! (Or...

    Can NO longer record any SiriusXM channels

    I just want to throw in my 2¢. The sound quality my not be perfect but it is a nice feature to have. No other satellite or cable provider has Sirius as part of their programming. A find it a definite plus. Nice to be able to send music to different rooms in the house. We even send it out to the...

    Dish 50.0 (Voice remote)

    Sorry for the delay. Paired to 50.0 remote to the Joey 4K. It worked perfectly. I didn't find any problems at all. Voice worked great, touchpad worked great... I fu^%ing love this remote! The touchpad is a bit touchy and as I try to scroll, I sometimes have to swipe twice to get across the whole...
