    Free Previews

    The Hopper was off (standby) all last night, and still "No information available" this morning. I have unplugged it and re-plugged. Waiting to see how it goes. And, . . . I was a DNS Trainer when I first registered for this forum. I was "downsized" back in 2011 when they revamped the training...

    Free Previews

    Anyone know how to force a Hopper 3 to download the guide data for the free preview channels? I can see all the channels, and what's on for the next couple of hours, but beyond that its all "No information available". Tried a soft reset with no luck.

    ? Re Blockbuster@H and inclusion in packages

    I think Gary hit the nail on the head. There is a channel called BBHME (375) that is included in all the packages. It is an informational slate that right now is showing four movies that are available to those who have the add-on package. I can see how that would be confusing. The package BBB@H...

    Will A Dishnet 1000 Dish Work Wih The Hopper?

    Here are four examples of Dish 1000 All but the first will work fine connected directly to the node. The first one would have to have DishPro LNBs (not legacy), and would need a switch, either a DPP33 or a DPP44 between the LNBs and the node.

    New message this morning - haven't seen this before . . .

    Thanks guys for replying. The message noted above may be a "feature", but the accompanying behavior certainly is not. Along with the frequent re-boots, some of the menu screens (like Point Dish) don't completely load, and most responses to the remote are taking from several seconds up to...

    New message this morning - haven't seen this before . . .

    After just over a year of really solid performance from my two Hopper with Slling/one Joey setup, I got a bit of a curveball this morning. Turned on the TV first, as I often do, and saw the message stating that my software was up to date, and it was downloading the guide. Nothing new, but I...

    Thinking of going from 722/222 to Hopper, need help!

    I believe he means 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys would only be $2 more than the aforementioned 1 Hopper, 1 Super Joey, 2 Joey setup.

    Dish internet question?

    Do all of you who replied so negatively actually have satellite internet? It is actually much better than it used to be, and far superior to the few alternatives. I've been using WildBlue since it was first offered through Dish back in 2007, and upgraded to Exede just over two years ago. Yes...

    2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys - Will I be audited?

    I was audited a while back, and only had to give the info from each of my hoppers. It was actually a very simple process, and the person I spoke to was very polite and understanding. Someone was wondering what triggers a hopper audit . . . in my case, it was the fact that one of my Hoppers is...
