I'm wondering if anyone else with Sling TV is having the same problem as mine. It involved playback of the recordings I have made on the cloud DVR. I have quite a few recordings of various programs, including Stargate SG-1. The playback of all my recordings used to be very smooth. However...

Thank you for the information. I was afraid this might be the case. Take care, Chuck

Howdy, I'm not sure if my question is applicable to this particular forum, but it seems to be the closest one for me to try. I was a Dish Network subscriber for many years and had a 2TB exterior hard drive connected to one of my Hoppers. Over the years, I accumulated several hundred movies &...

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. I don't hold out much hope of ever being able to watch the stuff on the EHD again, but I've resisted using it for anything (and having to reformat) else just in case. Thanks again! Chuck

I was with Dish Network for many years. A few years ago I cut the cord and am now with Dish Network's Sling TV Blue streaming service. When I was with Dish Network, I had a WD "My Book" 2 TB external hard drive connected to my Hopper and eventually amassed several hundred movies & TV...

Sorry if this question has come up before. One of my Fire TV sticks started acting up after I switched all my TV equipment over from power strips to a couple new UPS units. Since then, the Fire TV stick will not boot up. It goes into an endless loop with a screen saying, "Optimizing system...

Can someone give me an idea of whether I have a bad Amazon Fire TV Stick or if it is the remote that came with it? I've had it for several months now and it always worked fine. But recently I'm finding that the right arrow and down arrow buttons on the remote are causing a problem. The...

Thanks for all the help, Mike. I'll pull the plug and try to reboot that way. My H3 is in the middle of several VCR's & DVD players stacked on top of each other. Have had it like that for years with no problems. I always make sure that there is plenty of clearance around any vents, etc...

Is anyone else having reboot issues with their H3 tonight? The H3 usually updates at 1 a.m. every 2nd or 3rd night. It did its reboot last night, so I figured that would be it for a couple days. But tonight (Thursday 1 a.m.) it did another restart. And it has now done THREE MORE restarts...

Anyone having problems with their Joey going out? The latest Dish system-wide upgrade has been a technological boondoggle that has affected HWS and H3's in many areas. At first, my H3 spent about 10 days refusing to record anything at all, even timers. Essentially it was turned into a...

That's the thing. I don't think any Dish DVR will really function if it becomes unauthorized, will it? If this is the case, then all the EHD would be good for is plugging into a desktop and being reformatted for extra file storage because the Dish recorded programs would be forever unaccessible.

Sorry about my typo up above. Meant to say 2 TB EHD instead of "TV." If I found that I could buy an old Dish receiver that is compatible with the EHD -- even if I were to leave Dish -- I'd do it in a flash.

I wish they had been telling the truth. I've been thinking about leaving Dish, but I have the same situation -- a 2 TV hard drive that I've transferred several hundred movies to. If I leave Dish, then I have to sacrifice all those recordings because they can only be read by a Hopper or one of...

Dish has told me that a system upgrade is what has been causing these timer recording issues and that they did not know when the techs would have the situation resolved. Here is an excerpt from an email I received from Dish: "We are experiencing technical issues from the last update that we...

Didn't work. In fact, as a test I just tried to record a regular non-premium channel and it said recordings are not authorized on that channel. It was just a basic channel that I've recorded many times. In another forum I saw someone advising to unscrew the incoming cable (from the dish) from...
