    Easter Eggs (hidden options)

    Not being a long time user of dish, how would I have known that there was a hidden option to bridge? What on the screen or in the manual would alert me that this screen has a hidden button.?

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    I agree. I really was not expecting this to work, but was wondering what the designers had in mind when they decided to put two Ethernet jacks on the box.

    What do you mean by sub menu. the on screen button did not show up until i hit the blue button on the remote twice.

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    You missed my point entirely. If i got a 2nd dsl connection and hooked it to the hopper and left my 1st dsl connection hooked to my home lan (iphones, ipads, computers, tv's, printers, etc), the hopper and my lan would be connected only by the internet. Thus if i was sitting in my house and used...

    Internet connection cause of Joeys looking for Hoppers?

    Something to look out for. I was having problems with the joeys loosing connections to the hopper. Was intermittent for weeks. Then i discovered that what was really happening was that either due to power loss, my resetting my SOHO router or it otherwise being unplugged, the H/J's would get a...

    Easter Eggs (hidden options)

    Is it inappropriate to talk about? Was wondering what options might be available, like the bridging option.

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    Any clue why the hopper might have two ethernet ports. I would love it if both could be used, one to access the internet and the other your local lan. I don't have the greatest internet bandwitch and would get two connections if i could figure out a way to make the hopper use one for on-demand...

    Windows Media Server - Hopper

    Mezzmo works for windows works great. It has a setting profile for a hopper/joey and will transcode any media that the H/J does not support. It's not free but they do have a free trial. I have lots of stuff in itunes; music, video and audio stores, and all show up and play on the hopper and...

    Hopper External drive problem

    Check the power supply to make sure the transformer has not gone bad. Do you hear or fell the drive spinning up when power is first applied.

    Ok, found out two things after playing more. 1st despite the fact the far left radio says none under ratings restrictions if you click edit ratings it has NR/AO set be default. I guess none is not really none. Once i removed this i was no longer being ask for code to play any recordings or...

    Hopper Wish List - What to change

    The ability to filter the program guide with the same options as search. Also would like a way to display the play progress bar while playing. on Tivo you did this by pressing play while playing. Pressing play does not seem to do anyting while playing on H/J. The only way i can find to do this...

    ON Demand Parental Control Issues

    Well this just get more and more weird. I have an two episodes of weeds recorded and any attempt to play them results in the joey asking for the passcode. These were NOT recorded via on-demand but rather off the satellite. It also appears to do this when you go to some of the premium move...
