    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    I figured out the problem. I have a 4x4 HDMI matrix switch that I use for all the TVs and sources in my RV. I never paid much attention to the EDID settings. I changed them to 5.1 sound and it started working. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    Dolby Digital was on. I have a streaming hearing aid transmitter tapped into the optical (toslink) connection from the TV to the receiver and it has no sound either. When I switch to internal TV speakers, I still have no sound. The TV is an LG model 55LH5750-UB. The only other sound setting it...

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    Thanks for the resposne. If you're suggesting a power reset, I've done that countless times. It has never worked.

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    I have a surround receiver connected to the TV. I get surround on every channel except Amazon Prime. I get no sound at all on Prime. Even Netflix works without a problem. In the beginning, I figured that it was a bug that Dish would work out. It's been many months and it still doesn't work. Can...

    Amazon Prime Video Debuts on DISH Hopper 3

    I have Prime on 301, but I don't have any sound. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Convenience of a Sound Bar without the speakers

    I live in my new motor home full time. I have an HDMI matrix switch to connect my Dish receivers and computer to all of the TVs using HD Base T. The motor home came with LG TVs and an LG Blu Ray home theater that powers the speakers built into the living room ceiling. The living room TV is a...

    Locals guide issue in RV

    So...I finally broke down and changed my locals on my account to San Francisco. I full-time in a motor home. I started in Seattle and had no problem with PTAT and the locals channel guide. On my way to SF, I changed locals once in northern California for one night and really didn't pay much...

    Interesting Issue for Hopper 3 in an RV

    I know this is an old thread, but as long as we have fulltime RVers with H3s... I am also a fulltimer. I recently changed from a 722 to an H3. Since I am always moving, all of my timers for network shows were Dish Passes. When the program guide would repopulate after moving, the shows would...

    Hybrid LNB Wiring Diagrams

    Another full tome RVer here. I just installed an H3 in my rig. I have the same tripod on the ground and a Winegard Trav'ler on the roof.I used a Dish retailer. He changed the LNB on the tripod dish and bought a second one for the Trav'ler. It was a simple switch out and, other than...

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Absolutely. It only takes a second or two for the dome to find the correct satellite. It always gets to the HD channel unless the receiver decides to settle for the SD channel. It does the opposite, too. If I try to tune an SD station, it sometimes gives up and tries for the HD channel.

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Yep, that's the name of it. Too bad about the delay. Too bad it's not an option that can be disabled.

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Do you mean the Trav'ler? The motor home came with a dome and I added a second one for the other tuner for only a couple of hundred dollars. Changing to a Trav'ler would be too expensive and would prevent me from using the in-motion feature (gets me XM Radio and other stations).

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Not quite sure what you mean by 'upgrading'. If you mean changing to an open face dish, I have thought about it and for the moment rejected it. If that's not what you meant, can you explain further?

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    I am in an RV with King Domes. I see this error all the time before the dome has a chance to change satellites. I would rather it didn't do it, but I don' t know of any way to prevent it. If I flip back to the HD channel (sometimes it takes more than one try), I can eventually get the HD channel.

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    Are there any legacy dishes/LNBs that can receive 110, 119, 129 on a single unit?
