I've had my hopper v2 and joey about 3 weeks now. 1) HD Space and speed 2) I find the need to use a cloud service and cloud authentication to access local services unacceptable. I should be able to set my own usernames and passwords that only I know on my hopper and open and close ports on my...

Thanks for the fact you answered, but yuck to the answer. Why do I have ask someone else to get access to my recordings? Cloud services are getting ridiculous. This is a local service on a local device so why should authentication be under someone elses control, especially when it is a device...

My 722 just failed and I have one of the new version hoppers (the one with integrated sling and wifi) due tomorrow. I am really concerned about cloud usage. Will I be able to use my sling functionality 100% locally and disconnected from the internet? i.e. without having to login to an external...

Did I do something wrong as in I'm about to get my thread crushed by a moderator or are you asking someone to help me? heheh

First off, I run linux.... Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit. The files aren't encrypted. Its just that no single program seems to be able to play the whole thing (explained below). Some handle the video only, some handle the audio only, some bomb completely. Here are the results of my testing...

Well..its been over a week on this one. I guess I'm going to have to call in. I hate to do it because their response will be a replacement unit instead of fixing their software. I don't want to lose all my shows that I'm behind on. I was hoping a fix would be coming.

Is anyone out there still having problems with their 522? I suffered through all the previous 4.xx revisions after having a very nicely stable 522 for almost a year now. I had all the problems talked about in all the 4.xx threads but it is still continuing with 4.13. I get lockups that...

My 522 has gone haywire. It locks up at any time doing nearly anything. In other words no one thing is causing the problems. In fact I have even heard it reboot in the middle of the night when both receivers were off. It seems to have started about a week or two ago. Has there been a firmware...

Ghost I'm going to ghost the OS partition tonight and put the old program back each time they try to upload software changes.

This is the type of thing that drives me insane and also why I am the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist type of guy. I HATE when companies make you have a live connection to a device in your home. I don't care what Echostar did or even if they infringed on a patent. They can pay their fines and...

Great I'm actually glad other people are having the same issue this time. I really didn't want to swap out the unit with an unknown one because compared to many posts here, my 522 has been pretty good. To finally answer Gman. I swapped the inputs this weekend and had a storm come through...

Anyone Is anyone else having this issue? I sure would like to know if it is a known issue on other units with the latest couple revisions of firmware that swapping units is NOT going to fix before I undertake this and lose all my timers and stuff. If it is a known issue, I'll just send the...

I've posted about this problem before but it has been going on for me since at least L245 firmware, and I'm now at L251 and it is still doing the following. Tuner 2 is not automatically recovering after the DVR loses signal for something like a thunderstorm, it goes to the system info screen...

Tuner 2 not recovering Ever since I got 2.39 my tuner 2 does not recover if signal is lost during a thunderstorm. Take for instance if a storm rolls through and both tuners lose signal, after the storm is gone, tuner 1 recovers without me having to do anything... and any timers it is set to...

Ok.. sorry to start all this yet again, but I've been thinking. With all the smart people out there, isn't beating this hard drive encryption thing so that legitimate backups can be made thing pretty simple? If someone that knows what their doing with the streams has the encrypted stream on...
