    Hopper 3 (signal errors, chopped recordings, etc.) issues

    One of the first things the tech asked me today was if a subcontractor did the install. I wasn't home for the majority of the time they were here on Wednesday, and only caught them as they were leaving, so I couldn't really remember if they had the official Dish gear on or not. He checks the...

    Hopper 3 (signal errors, chopped recordings, etc.) issues

    I had the Hopper 3 and three 4K Joeys installed on Wednesday. I've experienced many of the same problems as others: no show icons, I lost my timers and recordings for a brief period of time, and audio dropouts. However, I am also having a few other problems I didn't see many others with, so I...

    very annoying 'cannot connect to dvr' message

    No disrespect intended whatsoever as this is by no means the first time I've seen "PM a DIRT member" as a response, but while I understand PMing a DIRT member is usually the best way to go about resolving most problems, if everyone did that first without posting there would be no threads about...

    recording prime time shows to my partition

    I have PTAT enabled and have regular timers set up for shows that broadcast on Fox, CBS, ABC, and NBC. Those shows automatically show up in my DVR list and don't delete until I manually do it. I have not missed any episodes and have never done the "save this series" from the PTAT folder...

    Joey Won't Change Channels; Automatically Goes To "TV Viewing Status"

    Joey Won't Change Channels; Automatically Goes To "TV Viewing Status"

    Joey software version S259. I am currently unable to change channels on my Joey by pressing the channel up or down button on the remote. There are no other tuners in use. When I press channel up or down it automatically brings up the "TV Viewing Status" screen. The icon of the channel I was on...

    Hopper Phone Connection Failure

    I have a 2 Hopper/2 Joey setup. While I have no problem with the phone connection on the Hopper connected to broadband via ethernet, the phone connection on my other Hopper (which isn't connected to broadband currently) keeps failing after running test connection. I've tested multiple phone...

    Major Hopper flaw, Problems resuming & can't sync Same Program

    I know I was playing around the other day and started a DVR program on a Hopper then switched to live TV. I went to a Joey and started the same program then switched to live TV. When I went back into the Hopper room to start the same program again it asked from which room's point in the program...

    How is Hopper/Joey on over heating?

    One of my Hoppers was located in a cabinet-style TV stand with a sturdy plywood back, glass doors, and two small holes in the back for the wires. Not much air circulation admittedly. With the glass doors closed it was so hot I could barley keep my hand on the bottom of the Hopper. The Joey tied...

    2 Hoppers; Steps to acess both Hoppers DVR recordings from Joeys cumbersome

    Yeah. It's still a pretty bad@$$ system, even in its infancy.

    2 Hoppers; Steps to acess both Hoppers DVR recordings from Joeys cumbersome

    I hope you are right. They say they are going to push software to allow the Hoppers to talk to each other. If you are on a Hopper now and you go to access the the other Hoppers recordings a message pops up saying the feature is not yet enabled. I hope that isn't the only thing we are waiting on...
