    New H3 receiver, spontaneous reboots while watching Amazon Prime Video

    Actually the first/3 receivers had a hard drive crash, the second had a problem with allowing us to view recorded shows. After the 3d(current) was installed we changed routers --we now have AT&T fiber. Everything else including Netflix via Dish streams fine. I found a recent post on the Amazon...

    New H3 receiver, spontaneous reboots while watching Amazon Prime Video

    I am now on my 3d H3 receiver this year. Installed a week ago, immediately began having spontaneous reboots when I watch Prime Video via Dish--Prime itself or Acorn or Britbox TV that I get via Amazon. Netflix on Dish, no problem. Amazon Prime via my Amazon Fire Cube to LG TV no problem. I have...

    Strange H3 problem, getting replacement, ? how to save timers

    Posting a followup here. New H3 arrived yesterday. The setup was fraught with difficulty, ?why. I had to get the phone tech to send an activation code and then had to remove the batteries briefly from the remote used to store the timers. Tried today~ 19 hours after setting up the new...

    Strange H3 problem, getting replacement, ? how to save timers

    I've been having a weird problem with my H3 receiver over the past 2 days(will record shows but when I try to watch them the "watch " button disappears and I have a screen with options to record future episodes). Dish advanced tech could not find a solution for this, so they are sending me a new...

    Powered vs non-powered hub for powered Ext Hard Drives on Hopper 3

    Well, after some troubleshooting I discovered that the problem was a switch on the surge power strip I used for the unrecognized two EHDs. Flipped the switch and they came right up. Thanks to all--I learned a lot from this thread, even though it was prompted by a doofus move on my part! :oops:

    Powered vs non-powered hub for powered Ext Hard Drives on Hopper 3

    As I understand it, the switches on the USB hub turn off the USB connection to the Hopper, not the power on the ext drives.

    Powered vs non-powered hub for powered Ext Hard Drives on Hopper 3

    I am going to try that later today--right now I am in the middle of a long transfer to one of the HDs the H3 does recognize, and getting at the USB ports on the back of the drive involves moving the Hopper receiver out of a cabinet, not easy to do in my setup.

    Powered vs non-powered hub for powered Ext Hard Drives on Hopper 3

    I have a Hopper 3 and several Western Digital hard drives, all powered, all < 6 tB. I would like to attach them via a USB hub to my Hopper 3. I have a powered hub now but some of my drives are not recognized when plugged into that hub, even as the only HDs with power on (the hub has separate...

    Unable to change HDMI inputs with Dish remote (40.0 or 54.0)

    OP here I spent time on private messaging with a Dish tech via the myDish support forum (very tedious way to communicate !). As stated in the OP I have a H3 and a Joey 3 and 2 remotes for each (54 and 40). I was able to get one of the 40 remotes to switch HDMI input on the TV connected to the J3...

    Unable to change HDMI inputs with Dish remote (40.0 or 54.0)

    I recently upgraded to a Hopper 3 in my family room and the latest Joey in my bedroom. I also have an Amazon Fire cube attached to the TV in the family room and another to the TV and the bedroom. The Fire TV remote is easily programmable via Alexa to turn on the TV and put it on the correct...

    How to safely order PPV?

    I have not ordered a PPV since I upgraded to the HWS system earlier this year. Today I decided to order and watch a 2 1/2 hour Dish Cinema movie (The Hundred Foot Journey on channel 516). I did so via the Guide, after which the All Day showing on the Dish Cinema guide showed the logo "rented"...
