Ah....how lame. Hahaha. I've never pointed a dish before. Lets see how hard this is :coco

I just had my roof re-done. The roofers put the dish in the "exact" same place, but obviously not quite as I lost all satellite signal. I do, use an OTA for local channels. I however can't figure out how to get around the "searching for satellite signal.....5mins...." message to access the...

Thanks Bobby! Really seems like a no brainer.....unless there is something I'm missing. I live in the middle of Dallas, so I don't anticipate any sort of signal issue. I'm betting I'll get signal with a small antenna put on the wall behind my tv.

This thread is great! I'm in a similar boat. If I hook up my antenna to the white airTV dual tuner adapter, and then hook that up to my hopper, how does the hopper act? I'm assuming there is a little setup to be done in the menus, however once all said and done: 1) Do the OTA channels...

Thanks! Great info. I'm not using Flex as there are sports channels that I watch that would be lost as not available via flex. Guess I had made a false assumption on the option to ditch the local channel option. More so, option 4 above is a very good point. There are a lot of prime time...

Ok, So as I am assuming is the case for everyone, Dish has started charging me $10/month for local channels. I live in Dallas, TX so all of those local channels that I am paying for I can undoubtedly get using an OTA Antenna (I don't one one, but I live in the city and would be shocked if I...

SUCCESS!!!!! Before I get to what I did to have success, I'll answer my two questions above for future reference. First off: Once successful, timers show up immediatly Second: Message 1001 and full system restart did NOT happen for me when successful. I got short message saying Restore in...

I just tried the whole process again with the additional unpairing step mentioned above. When through the restore process on the H3. It seemed to get stuck on the second progress bar just shy of complete. It seemed like maybe it timed out and then it just went to live tv. Checked the DVR...

Oh....interesting. I didn't think that unpairing would have mattered in the middle....but I'll def give that a shot. I haven't even touched my H3 remote yet. Batteries aren't even in it and never paired. Could it be worth a shot to try to pair it to the HWS and try backing up to the...

Ok, it has been 72+ hours and still no luck. Just to make sure, here are the steps I'm doing. Can someone please double check me that I'm doing this properly. Connect HWS completely up. Coax, HDMI, CAT-5, and then Power. Link the 40 remote to it. Let the whole system boot up and find...

Ok, thanks everyone for the input. It has been 2 nights, but not quite 48 hours. Still no luck. CAT-5 Transfer....noted. I'll just give up trying there and stick with the external HDD. Timers: I just tried again. It went through the "Your settings are being restored......" It did 2...

Ok....Thanks! I'll not mess with it for a while in that case. I'll give it a shot this afternoon after the 24hr mark. With that said, do I need to go back to the HWS after every failed attempt to restore the H3 to re-backup the 40 remote, or does the backup data stay on the 40 remote despite...

Ok, I've read a few threads with people who have had similar issues, but I have yet to really find an answer. Just got my H3 installed today. I still have my HSL. I am not having any luck restoring my timers via the 40 remote to the H3, AND I am having no luck transferring my recordings via...

Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy. Sorry if I've brought up a topic discussed numerous times already.....I searched, but couldn't find any similar threads....my bad.

I've got a hopper setup in my house with no joeys. I'm running software version S525 NDEB. My hopper bit the dust about 6 months ago. It required a new hopper from dish to be sent. I installed the new hopper and did a restore via the saved settings on the remote, which worked great. Only...
