    Multiple internet connections on H3

    Can I have multiple internet connections. I have a low data cap on my slow internet connection, but I have unlimited data on 4G. I can use my 4G with my firestick and watch Netflix, wasn't sure if I could do the same on the H3. If I change the Network connection will it affect the Joey's (they...

    H3 & ota channels in guide

    My new system was installed today the H3 & 2 4K Joey's. The tech hooked the OTA connector back up and did the channel scan, they all showed up, so I thought all was good. Later when I was looking through the guide I realized the OTA channels were not in my channel list on the H3, I looked and...

    H3 Folders

    Thanks for all the replies, I was pretty sure I was understanding the folders on the H3, I only need 3 or 4, so a 5 limit is not a problem. No folders on the EHD isn't a problem, we use separate drives for our want to keep programs. I only wish the H3 had a 4T HD.

    H3 Folders

    My H3 system will be installed this week, since I am moving from 2 HWS to 1 HS, will it work to create folders to sort the recordings? I was thinking Family (shows we all watch) Dad (shows only I watch) Mom (shows only she watches) and Kids (shows that they watch) from what I have read this...

    I have 2 HWS and 2 Joey's, This last week I noticed the Joey in my bedroom was freezing up, It would freeze, for about 5-10 seconds, then go to a pixalized screen then resume. Staurday night It was doing the same thing, even on DVR'd recordings. I swapped the Joey's and connected them to the...

    Hopper 3 & 4K Joey Heat

    I currently have a HWS and a Joey, both run extremely hot. They are out in the open, do the new ones run hot also, or have they fixed that problem. You can almost get burnt on the Joey. I'm wanting to do a upgrade, just waiting for the bugs to get worked out, especially the OTA.

    Bad OTA adaptor?

    It is plugged directly into the Hopper, and I have tried both usb ports on the back. SO far after removing it, resetting the receiver, plugging it back in and doing another reset, it has been working. I do watch a lot of MeTV which is only available OTA. I wish Dish would add it and Atenna TV...

    Bad OTA adaptor?

    Jason, I haven't tried that, I have checked when the OTA channels disappear, and I go to diagnostics it tells me that I have to install a OTA module, even when it is installed.

    Dish sure changed the Hopper

    If I had good OTA I would, in a low spot in a downtown area, too many high buildings around me.

    Dish sure changed the Hopper

    I am the original poster, One of the reasons I went with the Hopper was the ability to dvr programs we might miss at home due to weather, we live 30 miles from work. We were never notified of any change, however when I called Dish they did say you should have noticed we took off the DVR fee. I...

    At work I have the Hopper, Business account. On 4/20 all of a sudden all my apps disappeared, and I had the new 520 update. There is no channel 370 for Netflix, no more Pandora, no weather app. I also received a e-mail saying that price was going to be increased. When I called Dish today they...

    I hate this update! I turned on my receiver on the morning of 4/20, and the message popped up "Netflix is now available on channel 370" I looked there is no channel 370, I press the blue button on my receiver nothing happens. I go to Menus, there is no longer ANY APPS. Not even the weather app...

    At home my channel numbers start at 100, My Hopper at Work the channels are in the 4000 range. Why are they different? I previously had a 522 at work and the channels were the same as home.
