    Cbs 2 OTA Chicago

    From what have been able to gather from various Dish responses when people ask about these OTA guide problems, it isn't that Dish can't fix them, it is just that they won't fix them because it has to be done somewhat manually. The exception being when one of the "Big 4" (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC)...

    Cbs 2 OTA Chicago

    VHF channel 12 is becoming the ATSC 3.0 lighthouse channel for the Chicago DMA, scheduled to start on Monday, February 5th. Because of this, CBS2-Chicago (WBBM) and all of its subchannels are vacating that frequency. 2.1 CBS2-HD is now on WGN's UHF channel 19 2.2 StartTV is now on WGBO's UHF...

    Change in fast forward (related to AutoHop?)

    It would appear to be a new "feature". Not sure if it is intentional or not. While watching a program recorded with Primetime Anytime, but before AutoHop has been enabled on it, if you skip through a commercial break, by pressing the skip button, letting it advance 30 seconds, then pressing the...

    Hopper 3 H353

    For me with H353, I'm seeing normal behavior on my Hopper 3, but I'm seeing the FF/REW issues described here on my Joey 3. The response to pressing the FF/REW button is also slow on the Joey 3, like what people have described with a Hopper+ and Joey 4.

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    Turning the Hopper off will put it into standby. Turning only the TV off will not. There is an inactivity timer that will also put it into standby. That is what I meant by setting it to never go into standby mode. The default is 4 hours. To get to the setting, hit the Home button twice and go to...

    Hopper 3 keeps starting up with black screen/no sound.

    jdvaughn, see if this thread sounds familiar to you: Unusual H3 Problem In it you will see that another user and I describe a problem like yours. I tried chatting with support and they kept saying that it was because it wasn't doing the nightly updates, that there was a wiring problem, or a...

    Hopper3 blacking out

    Is it an HDMI connection between the Hopper 3 and the TV? My guess would be a loose connection between the Hopper 3 and the TV. Try unplugging at both the Hopper 3 and the TV and reconnecting very deliberately.

    1 Joey to 2 TV's?

    sktrus, if you have to press a button on the "splitter" to switch the video to one TV or the other, it sounds like you are using an HDMI switch, not a splitter. It is absolutely possible to split the HDMI signal to 2 TVs and watch the same channel on both TVs at the same time. An HDMI splitter...

    Unusual H3 Problem

    Correct. When I called, I went into a short hold queue and when she answered, she just said, "This is (insert name here). Who am I speaking to today.?" However, as I was explaining the technical aspects of the issue, she said, "I'm not technical. This is the Loyalty/Retentions Department". At...

    Unusual H3 Problem

    After replacing the H3, the issue appears to be gone. I can no longer make it happen by going into standby and coming out of it. It was also working fine this morning after it did the nightly reset and went into standby on its own. Time will tell, of course, but right now, it looks good. The...

    Unusual H3 Problem

    Will do joegr. The replacement is "out for delivery", with UPS' generic estimate of "by 9:00 P.M." Like you, I was looking for a way to get things going quicker than a reset and I did have limited success with switching to non-satellite channels. Switching to the new additional Holiday...

    Unusual H3 Problem

    joegr, you are not alone with this problem and I understand (now more than ever) why you do not want to deal with the normal tech support. I am experiencing the same symptoms that you describe. The slight difference is that I don't have it set to start up with the home screen, but with the last...

    vip622 freezing up and resetting

    My 622 has been doing this too. Started with the last software upgrade to L710.

    L710 for ViP622 Today (12/06)

    I thought it was just me. I'm having the same issue as well. Since L710 my 622 will freeze and reboot at random times. It has done this on both satellite and OTA channels and as rglore said when not doing anything but watching a program. Anyone else seeing this?
