    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    Perfect, not sure why I didn't think of that. I'm not getting too concerned about non-functioning items (yet!), or at least until we get a few more months into the update cycles. I like it immensely better than the H2, no doubt. Thanks for the help.

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    I was really excited to get the new 52.0 remote, but it's proving to be not so popular in my house. I paired the 52.0 to one of my wireless Joeys and put the older remote with the H3. I'm slowly getting used to it, but being that the buttons are so close together I find I still have to look at...

    Got my Hopper 3 yesterday - my experience so far

    Agreed. I have seen worse remotes, but the TiVo remote is in a class by itself. I thought my remote before that was awesome..... Side note, it was a no-brainer to pair the 52.0 to my older Joey, so I'm fine for now. I use the Joey location about 98% of the time, so it was important to me that I...

    Got my Hopper 3 yesterday - my experience so far

    I'm working on this on another thread. It looks like you have to go to your DVR recordings, change your source to the external drive, then go to options and manage the recordings. THEN, you'll see a menu pop up that has the option to transfer to the hopper, but you need to select a recording...

    Transfer recordings from external drive *to* new Hopper 3?

    Exactly what I was after! Not too intuitive, but it's there if you work for it! HA. Thanks

    Got my Hopper 3 yesterday - my experience so far

    Yeah, I have the 40.0 remotes on each Joey and my old H2. I got the new 52.0 remote with the H3, but didn't get new 52's for the Joeys. Not the end of the world, but just seems cheap to me to not upgrade them for customers as well. That being said, the 40.0 remote works fine with the new UI, but...

    Transfer recordings from external drive *to* new Hopper 3?

    I transferred my recordings from my H2 to a USB external HD. I got my new Hopper 3 installed, and it's able to see and playback all these recordings. However, it does not appear that you can transfer these recordings *back* to the Hopper 3. Does anyone have any insight into this? Future...

    Got my Hopper 3 yesterday - my experience so far

    Howdy folks - first post, I have gotten a lot of good info on here in the past so thought I'd contribute back with what I could. I have a Hopper 2 (2000?), I'm a recent 15-year TiVo convert.(!). Got tired of lack of innovation from TiVo and the monthly subscription/guide fees. Tech was...
