    Hopper 3 U500 Update now I can't get any OTA channels!

    When I got the "U" update on my Hopper with Sling, my loss was the size of the files both in-disk and on the external drives. BTW I loss 3 HD to the in-use on another device message with 17 total drives--this is a chunk of the alphabet as most are stored that way. I appreciated the improved...

    Stretch?

    Someone (perhaps I?) pushed the FORMAT button on my Hopper and it messes with HD, too. It leaves the Stretch clue with one push when you press CANCEL. "Menu>Settings>Screen Adjustments>HDTV>Aspect Ratio" does not get you back. The FORMAT button being near the edge is easily hit. I've been using...

    EHD/DVR Expander

    If most of what you have are movies then it is likely the 1000 limit would not be a problem especially as the limit is likely in excess of 1500 titles. The 3TB limit would be from the size of one of the tables, so is less likely to be bypassed. Losing files to crashes etc., will not be more...

    EHD/DVR Expander

    I saw a report months ago that the software partition allocations should work with a 3TB but not 4TB. (I can see where that might be true.) Dish software may restrict it, even so. Has anyone here made a 3TB work or found a Mac workaround to make dish software accept one? I'm looking to get price...

    Force an HD Format?

    What I did was to format the drive on my Mac and then put on the receiver, where it will not recognize it and formats the Dish way. -Ken

    Netflix question

    By "loose" you mean "lose", well both. I archived far too much. Still it's great to have the EHD. I'll never get to most of that but just in case I take a fancy to them, I can see entire series. -Ken

    Issues with Hopper

    Ordered by Date may not be what you want. Ordered by "Episode" tends to work better even though it is not episode number but related to the date originally shown. You will find at season's end that they have earlier recorded the finale, but not shown it until a few (fill-in) shows later. That...

    Has anyone tried a 4 TB ehd?

    Lately, I have a problem, which think is unrelated to the limit, on one drive. When I play Person Of Interest recordings directly from the EHD, it will stop almost immediately even if at the middle of the recording. I must play and answer the auto-Hop question, if any, and quickly back up or...

    Has anyone tried a 4 TB ehd?

    I have up to 1500 recordings on a 2TB, too many 1/2 hour shows mixed with 1 hour ones. I'm tempted to try a 3TB drive for the movies, not the small stuff. My philosophy is 2 drives are just as likely to lose any single show as a big double sized one. Yes, you would lose more at one time but more...

    Bluetooth Joey Adapter Now Available.

    Is it just sound output or does it do some other magic? -Ken

    Has anyone tried a 4 TB ehd?

    If yes, then ask all about 5TB, which is close to be the cheapest drive per TB. -Ken

    Can a replacement hopper use the original's hard drive temporarily?

    To play from the EHD just select the gray button (whatever you named your recorder) on the DVR menu. It should drop down the 1 or 2 selections for drives after the internal. Then go thru the icons in your ordering. I have like 12 drives possible. You can connect up to 4 at a time but after the...

    Nothing recorded yesterday on my H2K

    Make sure you are not filtering the results by a category or other as it did show recorded. Not on My Folders etc., just No Folders and not in Deleted Recordings. Check locks, too. -Ken

    VIP EHD to Hopper

    Concur. The oldest recording I found quickly from my spreadsheet was from 2009, probably from a 622. I have 14 drives from .75 to 2 TB and all work for my 3000+ movies & docs plus a thousand+ new episodes. I have only had one .75 WD drive go bad and a 1TB Buffalo go weak, it revived with...

    Multiple tuners used to record back to back shows on same channel

    For overlap recording, the software/hardware would have to write 2 streams for each overlapped tuner (probably not contemplated in the single-stream-per-tuner design.) We'll all agree the old sharp cut was annoying as it missed and messed more often than not but was a necessity of a single tuner...
