    Upgrade to Hopper or switch to DirecTv?

    Call Dish, tell them you are thinking about the deal. Chances are they'll match it, or at least get you a discount for year.

    Hopper S221 Feedback

    DNLA still does not work with Serviio as a source (nothing ever appears when that source is selected). I know other DNLA server do work, but Servio works best with all my other clients (Samsung Blue Ray, LG Blue Ray, Xbox 360, Toshiba TV).

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    For the first time in months I had a system lock up tonight. Watching live TV and the picture froze with the sound still running, then it froze completely. At S217. I really hope I am not going back to the every couple days freeze ups again.

    Joey parental PIN

    Somehow two of my Joeys have got locked with a parental PIN which I can't seem to remove. The Hopper does not have it set. I have tried to copy the parental settings from the Hopper. I have also gone to mydish.com and hit the parental PIN reset. Neither has worked. Does anyone know another way...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    Channels still drop off my custom list. Channel 11 seems to be the worst.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Glad to help. I always hate problem threads where the OP never posts the eventual fix. One thing the last tech mentioned on mine was the line to the Hopper was not labeled as 3GB even though the installer had told me he was running a 3GB line to it. It is possible the installer grabbed the wrong...

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    I have now been over a week with no freeze/reboots. I'm calling it fixed for me.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Mine is still stable after 6 days (new record). It appeared to have two causes. One was the Regza Link on the Toshiba TV (CEC HDMI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). The signals from it were causing Hopper lockups and reboots. The other was either the Node or the cable run from the Node to...

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Three evenings and no reboots since the cable and the node were replaced. I also got S211 last night.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    I also PMed DIRT last night. They sent out another tech and replaced the line to the Hopper and the node (per my wife as I was not home). Now to wait and see if it is resolved. As before, I am not calling it fixed until it lasts a week without a reboot.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Sometimes it will do it every evening, sometimes it will go a day or two without rebooting. Sometimes it is multiple times in an evening. It usually happens right when turning on the Hopper but it has done it while just watching it.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Yet another freeze and reboot twice tonight. Screwed up another show I watch. This is getting real old. So it is not the Regza Link. Updating to S209 does not help. On the 3rd hopper and no help there. Temp never gets above 125 and the hopper is on a table not in a cabinet.

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    So far so good with the Regza Link off I have switched back an forth from the blue ray player input to the hopper input and no freeze up/reboots. I will wait for a week of no problems before I call it fixed, then I will let Dirt know about the fix. Been looking at the temp since a couple people...

    Hopper Freeze and Reboot

    Another reboot today on the new Hopper. I did notice that it was right after watching something on my blue ray player and then switching back to the Hopper. My TV is a Toshiba and it has Regza Link. This sends commands via the HDMI between the TV and compatible devices. For example when I change...
