Long time hopper 3 & 3 joeys customer. Lately I have a problem restoring the audio and video feed (HDMI) from hopper 3 to attached HDTV (Sharp 1080P). Has historically worked fine, now every time I turn off TV and come back in two or three hours when I turn on the TV there is no video or...

Just upgraded to Hopper3 after 3 years with hopper2. Old hopper2 was connected to my home network via a ethernet cable (hard wired to 5 port switch connected to Asus Router). Hopper2 worked perfectly with no connection problems. Installation tech set up new Hopper3 to connect via wifi. I...

Lately I have, found from time to time, what appears to be a part of the DVR cursor showing up on my TV screen. It appears on both live and recorded programs. At first I thought it was a problem with by LED TV, but rebooting the hopper corrects the problem for a while then it reoccurs. I...

Interesting! Thanks for the info. After looking around some through the menu system I found that the "HDTV Setup screen" (menu, 6,8) had a setting for "Analog Type" and there you could chose between offair and cable. After selection offair and running the channel scan again, It found 35 local...

VIP 722 and Local OTA Digital Channels by fharris770 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:42 am I just added an OTA antenna outside. When directly attached to my HD TV it finds multiple channels. All four network affiliates as well as about 8 others. The signal strength of the local varies...

Thanks, I clicked on settings at bottom of screen then clicked on "General Settings". There was a section on messaging. There were several buttons where you could customize your settings. All the buttons were properly selected EXCEPT one near the bottom. The default was "do not save copies...

OK, I sent a pm to a dirt member three days ago and got a reply the following day. Then I replied to the same dirt member with a follow up question. No response as yet. Today I sent another pm to a dirt member and checked back later to see if answered, no answer and when I checked my...

WOW, absolutely a no brainer. For an extra $50 one time I can go from 3 to 6 tuners and have a backup DVR should one unit fail. I can't believe DISH hasn't decided to get more $$$ for this setup. Think I will order quickly before they change their mind. By the way, other than the obvious are...

Interesting comment, I am looking at upgrading from my 5 year old 722. If I understand correctly I can upgrade to a hopper w/sling and two joeys for $100 (with monthly fees of $10 for hopper and $14 for the two joeys) OR upgrade to Hopper w/sling, Hopper w/out sling and one joey for $150...

for some reason I was unable to display the OTA channels using my 722. When I attached the OTA feed to the 722 input and did a search it found the locals, but could not display them It could for instance tune the old channel 02,but not the digital channel 02.1 As I was about ready to upgrade...

OK, I'm just about ready to move up to a hopper and two joeys from my 722. I still have a few questions that I haven't seen answered in this forum. First, my hopper will be in family room with big screen HDTV, one Joey will be in home office with HDTV and other Joey will be in Master Bedroom...

I agree about the inside location. When I ran all new RG6 I took the feeds from the dish about 4 feet and then under eve of house and into attic and from there down two floors to basement ceiling where I passed them through a grounding block and then to receiver. I do not have anything outside...

LNB is labeled dpPlus. the separator is also labeled dp plus. and has dish logo on it so I assume it is their equipment, not 3rd party. I also did check switch. Getting 100, 119 and 129 on both inputs. screen says Port 1 DPP 1k.2 w/seperator and port w same.
