cdiddy, Me too. Hopper replaced 3 times, all cables replaced, nodes, everything. Check my post "another big hot hopper mess". Finally accepted a DISH "upgrade" down to a 722K. All's been great for a month now. Another Big Hot Mess post found issues with number of timers/events.

LATEST UPDATE! 722K's been here a month now. Not a single reboot, everything's been great. I'm definitely a happy camper. Only a couple of downsides: no pretty logos for the channels, only 2 tuners, and the picture quality might be a "very, very very slightly poorer quality" - really hard to...

OK Hopper's outta here. Got my 722K "UPGRADE" as DISH calls it. Had to add 6 extra weeks to my contract, but if it works as advertised I'll be a happy camper. So far the first 4 hours have been perfect. Thanks for the info Bobby. The EHD works fine EXCEPT... APPARENTLY NO WAY TO...

Bobby, In reading the 722(k) manual it says the EHD can be up to 750GB. Mine's 1.5 TB. Any thoughts as to it possibly working? Possibile to transfer back to Hopper, then back to a smaller 750 drive? Thanks

Thanks Bobby. It looks like that's what it's going to come to then.

Thanks Rocket 69...Changing it as we speak. Dish suggested replacing my Hopper with a 722. What do you think about it? 3 tuners is nice, but not nearly as nice as 2 tuners that actually work! Also, I've got A LOT of Hopper movies ( mostly segmented due to reboots) on a EHD. Would they be...

Sad to report it wasn't the heat causing the problem. The most time we've ever gone without a lockup or reboot is about 36 hours. Still at a loss, and still locking up several times a day. My wife wants it outta here. I was being patient, but this is ridiculous. This is the worst piece of...

I think (hope) I got the answer. HEAT! All 3 of the Hoppers have been running very hot. Almost too hot to touch. The reading at the right hand vent yesterday was 160 F. Sits on a shelf with 3" clearance above, and 8" all around, but the short feet under the Hopper don't leave much clearance...

Thanks Cos. Newbie here - not sure how to reach the OP directly. Also saw another software update is due today.

We got a Dish Hopper /no Joey in mid June to use with our Olevia 242 LCD. From the very start nothing seemed to work right. The first day we thought it was our inexperience with the new system. The next day, after many freeze ups, reboots, random cursor movements, search not working, 30...
