    Recommendation to Dish - Dump Hopper+ and Rembrace Virtual Joey

    The old Sling/DA did exactly that when you were on the same local network. Back then, when I watched something using DA from one of my devices (PC, phone, or tablet), my 722K with the Sling adapter would send the stream directly to my PC without going out the Internet and back in after all the...

    Anything new in H367?

    clearly not fixed in this release and I can also confirm that the blackouts happen with or without a Joey 3 being on.

    Anything new in H367?

    I guess it's just you and me :cool: ! I just noticed that my Hopper 3 was updated to H367overnight. Haven't seen a blackout yet but I've only had the TV on for 30 minutes. If I do see a blackout, I will check to see if my wife is also watching on one of the Joeys.

    Anything new in H367?

    That's interesting, I hadn't considered that. I have two Joey 3's, but since it's just me and my wife while my kids are away at school, only one of them is used at a time, but not always when I am on the Hopper. I will have to try and determine if one of the Joeys is being used when I get...

    Anything new in H367?

    That sucks, why can't they fix that, it's very annoying! I am still on h366 and was hoping the next release might resolve it. Does Dish even know this is a problem? It acts like a HDMI handshake problem.

    H366 is out

    I have the same issue and it hasn't been fixed in 366.

    Showtime Anytime going away

    With all the other premium movie channels, you still get streaming access. Showtime's content and the ability to stream (even with the higher quality video and audio) is simply not compelling enough to pay almost triple to what I subscribe with Dish. I still renew the $5 discount every three...

    Showtime Anytime going away

    Showtime Anytime is going away next month. Does that mean we won't be able to stream Showtime movies and series using our Dish credentials like we can now? The Showtime App and website don't provide that ability.

    H365 has arrived

    My Hopper has not updated yet, but I am curious if H365 actually fixes any of the problems introduced with H364? In particular, the very annoying 1 to 2 second screen blackouts that randomly happens.

    H364 is here

    The other thing my wife has noticed watching recorded shows on a Joey 3 connected to our Hopper 3, when she skips forward through commercials, it will sometimes jump back to the beginning of the recording. My Hopper was only installed back in the summer and was on a much older release for a long...

    H364 is here

    I see the same thing. Out of nowhere, the screen will go black for a second or two and may happen several times withing a minute and then not again for a while. Very annoying! It's almost like there is an HDMI video issue? Oh, and this happens on live as well as recordings.

    Any tips on how to fill an EHDD on the Hopper 3 to maximum capacity?

    I lived and breathed disk drives for almost 10 years at NetApp and my team did all the software support for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). I can say from all the performance testing we did, that there is no penalty for encryption. First, it's done with hardware, not software. Secondly, what...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    That's a poor excuse. I am not talking about a 200 page book and I am not talking about all the permutations of equipment. But the User Interface needs to be well documented. The online documentation's organization is actually pretty good, but the actual information is minimal to non-existent...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    Thanks! I will give that a try. Why can't Dish add that to its "How To" directions!! As a former software development director, a project was never considered complete unless the appropriate documentation was also updated. It's not that hard, it just needs to be part of the development and QA...
