So I did have to have the dish moved but the tech told me that the problem was not my tree but rather the very large bush at the house across the street. The pole that the dish was on was just too short to clear the bush so the tech attached the dish to the side of the porch roof. My sat 129...

That was my first thought but I'm not sure which branch is blocking. I suppose I could try pinning back each branch until I get a clear signal. Then I will know for sure where to start cutting.

So a couple weeks ago I started losing signal on some HD channels. The message on screen is 'Signal Loss on HD Channel' and it switches the channel to SD. The HD channel works for a minute or 2 before it switches. I ran a Check Status test a few times and the error reported is either Port 3...

Agreed. I want Dish Pass back! I have missed several shows because I used to have a timer set up to record everything with certain keywords in title. Now I have to manually search every week or so and I still don't catch everything.

It won't be on the account. I have a 522 that we still use that isn't on my account.

I REALLY want to be able to rename some of my Hopper3 DVR recordings so I came up with this plan: -Purchase another receiver that allows you to rename recordings (the receiver will not to be activated). -Unplug my EHD from the Hopper3 and plug it into the new receiver (the recordings that I...

I, too, have seen this with VOD but not all of the time. When it does happen, I delete the recording and download it again. A pain, but at least it works the second time.

Because sometimes I record a replay of the events and the recoding date is not always the date that the event took place. The folder suggestion is good but I keep my sporting events (among other things) on an external hard drive and, as far as I know, it is still not possible to have folders on...

I saw a few posts on this subject but none recently so I will ask again: Is there ANY chance that the Hopper will ever allow the user to rename recordings (like my old 722 receiver)? I keep some sports on my DVR and I used to rename them with the date in the name for easy sorting. Without the...

I checked all 3 of my Joeys last night and none of the rebooted on startup.

I noticed this with one of my Joey2 boxes after the most recent update. I am usually on the hopper so I haven't used the Joey lately. I will check again tonight to see if it is still happening. I will also check the other Joeys.

Ok, I paid close attention last night and I now see the caller name in front of the number. I was used to the old way where the name and number were on separate lines. I guess my eyes instinctively focused on the number and I missed the name part. Thanks!

I bought a 40.0 for one of my Joey boxes and I like it better then the 52.0 remote. Unfortunately, I noticed that it is not as responsive as the 52.0 and I have to point it in a certain direction for it to work. It's not the worst but I wish it worked as well as the 52.0 remote.

Are there any settings for the Caller ID feature on the Hopper 3? On my 722K, the caller ID popup would not only show the phone number but also the name of the caller (as provided by the phone company). I was hoping that there is a setting to enable displaying the name and number.

I only see it with Auto Tune timers so you won't see it if your timer is set to record a program. Also, I wouldn't classify it as a bug but rather an annoying feature that needs to be changed!
