My experience with a Wally and a Playmaker (not Tailgater) was that after the scan, the dialog reported that fewer satellites were discovered than the last scan, followed by the question to Rescan or Continue? I Continued, and had no further issues. That was on 8/10/2023.

When I press skip forward or skip backward, my Joey3 stutters and ignores the command. Successive commands are acted upon... until at least 20 seconds goes by without any remote presses. Then the problem will occur again if I hit those buttons. I'm running Joey software J560 downloaded 8/8. My...

You're not the only one. Sometime between 7am and noon Pacific Daylight Time my hopper box went into "Acquiring Signal". Before I did a reset, I looked at System Status under Diagnostics. It showed a checkmark on 119 and 110, a red X thru the 3rd satellite. I then reset, and it got as far as...

I'm having a similar problem on my Joey 3.0. running software version J549 downloaded 6/15. On a DVR'd playback, I hit skip forward once which usually shows +30 sec... it now stutters and shows +30 sec then +1 min; however it actually only forwards 30 seconds. Skip backward is similar. I hit it...

Another solution to consider for the original question is using a combination of multiple dish receivers and splitters for sending the same HDMI stream to multiple TVs. This solution involves asking the question: how many simultaneous and unique viewing streams do I need to plan for? It...

Beginning today, large time swaths in these channels are showing "To Be Announced". CNN shows "CNN programming". ESPNews and Weather Channel are also showing this, but I think they genuinely have this description at times. But for the more mainstream news channels, you can't record scheduled...

This is an old thread, but I'm also having a problem "teaching" my 54.0 Dish remote. This remote is paired with a 3.0 Joey. I mention that because it appears there's some 2-way communication going on there with the Joey directing the 54.0 Dish remote to "learn" the 3rd party remote codes. I've...

Now that I understand the difference between the two, it turns out I mispoke. I'm also using DHCP Reservations in my router. (Static IP is when you use the device, in this case the Hopper3, to set the IP address). Thank you for the clarification!

Bypassing the "Which state..." page is characteristic of having a fixed (non-auto-positioning) antenna connected to the Wally. That could be a clue as to which component is failing. It sounds like the Wally firmware isn't getting the correct response from the interface to the Tailgater Pro...

Ever since getting the Hopper3 over a year ago, I've put up with a periodic loss of connection to the internet. So this past weekend I did some troubleshooting and found out some interesting facts, at least for my setup. I have a Hopper3 with a hardwired ethernet connection to my router and 1...

I did in fact pick up one of these. This is the Sabrent hard drive enclosure (model EC-DFLT). It works OK with the Wally receiver. The On / Off power button allows you to keep the drive on 24/7 so when the Wally wakes up, the drive will be available. But for a Wally in an RV it's totally...

The Rosewill specs make no mention of which generation of SATA it supports, but reviews say the documentation which comes in the box state that it's limited to SATA I and II. Have you tried using SATA III drives with this enclosure?

Funny - I was just headed out to my local Frys to pick up one of these as a replacement for the one I borrowed to get my Wally working. It has a dedicated On/Off switch so that should solve the "sleep" problem. Let us know how it works out for you. Model # is EC-DFLT. Under $25 One review...

You can thank the entertainment industry for bulky HDMI cable and connectors and complicated protocols, where the primary design objective was copy protection.

Not an EHD; It was an Internal hard drive which I placed in a powered USB enclosure; The Internal hard drive was a WD Blue 1 TB IDK 7200 RPM 64MB Buffer 3.5". $40. The problem enclosure - Bytecc Super Speed USB to SATA Enclosure. $23. It had a touch-pad power switch that simply cycles the...
