    Prime Time recordings corrupted after several weeks.

    I have this same problem and it's been doing this for many months (I noticed it near the beginning of the fall television season). I have two Hoppers and am in the Los Angeles market. The first Hopper (2K) has PTAT recording all four networks every day and keeping 8 days of recordings. This...

    PTAT Enabling Auto-Hop w/Hopper 3?

    The wait for ABC shows was implemented many months ago (maybe even a year ago); in fact, it was implemented before the CBS wait was implemented. For me, autohop is available for ABC shows on the fourth day after it airs, and for CBS shows on the eighth day after it airs. Normally, for NBC and...

    FreedomPop Free Internet Review

    When it showed you that there was no coverage it should have given you a link to the coverage map. Here's the link: http://www.freedompop.com/coverage

    Not all shows available for transfer

    There isn't a separate PTAT partition. That was changed several software releases ago. The user partition is now 1231GB, which includes space for PTAT recordings.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    As GaryPen said, yes, it is worth it. But it wasn't a typo; it was incorrect phrasing. If you're going to write something, understand what you are actually writing versus what you mean. What Hall wrote isn't what he meant, but unless someone points it out he might not ever learn. I...

    So you're saying that the average customer does care about OTA, because there is room to care less?

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    Last night at 8pm there was a repeat of last week's Grimm and a new episode at 9pm. Both showed up in My Recordings.

    Shows disappearing from my recordings

    I just lost a PTAT show from 10/7 that was saved via a timer. It did not disappear from My Recordings, but before trying to watch it I pressed Select and then chose Edit so that I could check the file size, which was 0.000GB. When I tried to watch it, as expected from the file size I just got...

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    I reported this issue to DIRT about a month ago. For me, it happened on Grimm in August (new episodes on Mondays which repeated on Fridays), on the first episode of Revolution (new on a Monday and repeated that Wednesday), and the season premier of Bones (new on a Monday and repeated on that...

    Shows disappearing from my recordings

    I reported the same issue to DIRT on 9/21. If I choose to save a single episode from PTAT, it will disappear on its own nine days after it was recorded. If I have a timer for the show the episodes don't disappear.

    pics missing

    The pictures were there for me less than 24 hours later, so I don't know when they finally showed up. Even though the pictures weren't there Monday night, the red kangaroos were there before 1am and I could autohop.

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    FatBurger beats them all. And way, way, way back, Jack-in-the-Box's Moby Jack was a lot better than McDonalds' Filet-o-Fish.

    pics missing

    Castle, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother have pictures. All of the rest have station logos on white backgrounds. They're still that way after the update/reboot.
