Guess it's midnight CDT. PITA. What a stupid design. I seldom watch this late but a game went late tonight. At least post a warning with an option to delay once or twice.

I'll be ready with a camera tonight at 10pm. So far this tuner confusion has only happened twice and both times were exactly at 10pm. I read the paragraph over and over last night and the implication was that I needed to decide between continuing to watch CNN "or" let CNBC record. I ended...

Well, a related tuner mystery just occurred. Tuners 1 & 2 idle, 3-5 recording, 6 doing PTA. Watching CNN I get a popup. Essentially it asks if I want to allow a scheduled program to record and STOP watching CNN or not record the scheduled program. This with only 6 tuners listed and only 3 in...

Ok. Now it shows 1-5 with PTA on 6. It's a bit inconsistent because earlier 3 of the 1-7 were shown as "available". Now 1 of the 5 shows "available", one has no status, and the others are recording. I guess after being "available" for a while if you don't use them they hibernate :-)

Wait a minute. When I look at TV Activity right now it says 5 of 16 in use. Below that, I scroll to see tuners 1-7 and below that I see tuner 8 doing PTA. Should I be seeing tuners 1-15 at the top and PTA on tuner 16???

Yes. Sounds like it could have been a glitch with someone else also experiencing it. Next time I'll get pictures. Almost like there's still some logic deep in the Hopper code that still thinks there's only 8 tuners.

Yeah. Should have taken a pic of the screen. But it essentially was telling me all tuners were busy. Then looking at status at the top of that screen it said 8 of 16. I think the original Hopper did 8? Thought maybe I needed to do something else to enable the other tuners. I'll try a...

Really never expected to see that message. It only lasted for a few minutes - 3 to be precise. At 10pm I was doing something - switching channels? - when the message appeared. Possibly I was trying to record another channel via the guide - I can't remember for certain. I quickly looked at...

Got the 722 7 years ago - interested in the Hopper 3 upgrade.

Thanks for the explanation! Had not made the connection that SZ was a substitute for MLB when they were carrying a full game. Should have just called it MLB2 :-)

Looks like that requires an MLB Extra Innings subscription which I could also get with Dish.

Anyone know what the broadcast rules/goals are for this channel? I guess I've been spoiled by Red Zone where they have a hard fast cut off time for the broadcast, explain it when it might apply, but seldom ever have to make use of it. As a result, 99.99% of the time you get to see every game...

Don't know how quick it's updated, probably minutes if not seconds, but the online account displays plenty of detail about the scheduled call. Plus I got an email and robocall that prompted me to confirm the appointment. So it's very easy to validate the original call. Agreed, the online...

My turn. I'd seen these threads before, so I wasn't caught off guard when I got the same call today. Have had ZERO issues with reception for years. Makes no sense why they would give me a courtesy call for free when they could just wait till I have a problem and reap the rewards in service...
