    1303 on all joeys

    In my case I had HIC so, all Hopper and Joey's were getting IP from my router. Router was getting crazy sometime and was becoming unresponsive to request and my PC will also have issues. If you don't have HIC and have direct connection to the router then it should not matter. Is joey also...

    What kind of setup you have? Have you tried resetting your router. My router WNDR3400 will sometime go crazy and I have rebooted it, not after router firmware update though.

    What DLAN server are you using with the Hopper?

    What kind of video codec you for the MP4 files which don't work ? You can use MediaInfo to see what are the codec.I have all my MP4 files with H264/AVC. I don't think there is any filesize constrain as I have played more then 2GB files. Have you tried playing same files on Hopper?

    What DLAN server are you using with the Hopper?

When I watch my Home recorded MP4 files from Samsung camcorder, as those videos are short. Normally I would select those video and add in the playlist and play them all. I...

    Can the Hopper replace an AppleTV/Roku used for local content?

    Not sure but try sharing MKV files from TVersity and see if those work. I am assuming Blu-ray content will be 1080p so, not sure.

    Does DirecTV have an "answer" to the Hopper?

    In my case we don't watch too much network programming but still I have left PTAT on as I have found many new shows and they are interesting to watch. All other programming repeats most of the time so, my timers are set in the morning, afternoon when there is no live TV watching (just in...

    Does DirecTV have an "answer" to the Hopper?

    So, you are saying anything you want to watch you going to start recording after every channel change so, you can skip back? I think that is huge disadvantage, It is not like you can not have 2 Hoppers and get 6 tuners. People are smarter then you think Claude, they do understand how...

    Can the Hopper replace an AppleTV/Roku used for local content?

    Played around this weekend with DLNA/Home Media. Best way to figure this out was installing two DLNA servers (PlayOn/TVersity). I always had PlayOn but issue with that as Scott mentioned that it always transcodes. So, for my Samsung camcoder (MP4 1080i videos) they were coming out bad as PlayOn...

    joey looking for hopper

    Are you using HCM, in that case make sure your home router is not doing something messy with IP addresses. Someone pointed out if you have lots of devices getting DHCP from your router make sure to increase the range for safty.
