    4K on Channel 540

    Update: I decided to try another HDMI cable and bypass the AVR. I hooked the H3 directly to the P75 on HDMI 2 and let the audio go to the AVR via ARC on HDMI 1. Voila! I got 2160p on the Fox Sports basketball game tonight. One thing I noticed was that the the old HDMI cable from the H3...

    4K on Channel 540

    I ordered 3 new HDMI cables from Monoprice. I have set Monday's game on 540 to record. I will experiment when I get the cables in and post my results. I have the AVR plugged into HDMI 1 because of ARC.

    4K on Channel 540

    I haven't bypassed my AVR yet because there won't be any 4K content on 540 until tomorrow. I have turned on Full UHD Color on the input.

    4K on Channel 540

    I know that more expensive HDMI cables are really no better than the ones you can buy at Monoprice. However, the Monoprice cables I have are at least 6-7 years old. Could it be that my old cables are not capable of transmitting 4K?

    4K on Channel 540

    I just bought a Vizio P75-F1. I connected it to my Marantz SR5008 via HDMI which is also connected to my Hopper 3. I can view the basketball game that is on right now, but my Vizio says it is 1080i. The H3 resolution is set to 4K, 1080P, 1080i. I tried turning off the AVR (it is set to 4K...

    Buffering on Fire TV Dishanywhere App on Home Network

    Is there any way this is an Android issue? I am very confident it is not a network issue. This weekend, I tried something different. I have an Android phone with the DA app installed. On my home network, I still get sporadic buffering similar to the Fire Stick. I tried my Ipad on my home...

    Buffering on Fire TV Dishanywhere App on Home Network

    A little background...I have my Hopper 3 connected via wired Ethernet. My network only has Gigabit Switches. My wireless network consists of Unifi AC Access Points. My second generation Fire Stick is connected to an access point that is only about 8 feet away with a very strong signal. That...

    TV Not Detecting Resolution on 4K Joey

    I had posted this earlier, but I have learned some things since then. I thought my Joey was not "waking up", but it turns out it is a resolution problem. I have a Sharp 60" LCD TV. From time to time, the TV doesn't detect the resolution of the Joey when I turn the TV on. I have to unplug...

    4K Joey Won't Wake Up without Resetting

    I have the Hopper 3 and one 4K Joey. I have the Joey connected to a Sharp TV with CEC turned on. At least 50% of the time, the Joey has to be reset (holding the power button down for 15+ seconds) after the TV has been off for an hour or more. I called Dish support and they put me through a...

    DISH Now on Amazon Fire TV

    I installed the app on my 2nd Generation Fire Stick, but the quality looks like it is still "going out over the Internet" even though my Fire Stick and Hopper are on the same network. Is that accurate? I was so hoping it would stay on my home network since I only have a 768k upload connection.

    Anyone else having problems transferring to EHD w/ Hopper 3?

    Thanks for the advice. I moved my EHD to the USB 3.0 port and I got the same error. Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Anyone else having problems transferring to EHD w/ Hopper 3?

    I have been trying to free up some space on my H3 hard drive, but I encounter errors a lot. If I choose more than 2 recordings at a time to transfer, It will say that I unplugged a USB device and stop the transfer. When I hit DVR, my EHD is no longer listed. It will show back up a few hours...
