Anyone have this working? Plantronics 220 pairs fine says it's connected hopper flashes the bluetooth icon and nothing? Tried messing with audio/pcm etc. no effect..

My guess.. A.. Heat, keep it in a cool, well ventilated area with nothing on top.. B. Dish gets the programmers who couldn't get a job at google, amazon, intel, ms, fb or working the fryolator @ mc'ds.. C All of the above..

I even have it setup so plex can serve media to the hopper via "the cloud" using dropbox..

It has only supported dlna is since April v0.9.6.0, the generic profiles worked for me but if you want hopper optimized profiles these guys working tweaking them for it. I like plex personally, easy, free, supports my hopper & roku...

\more rant 5. Game finder great, record game, where is record ALL games. tried to add usc games for my dad's dvr so now it records EVERY program with the letters usc in it, imagine if your teams are say the heat/giants/cowboys etc.. you'll end up with some sort of fetish porn collection 6...

\rant 1. If you haven't noticed they reset your guide back to "my channels" every night when they auto reboot, making custom guides worthless, unless everyone remembers to change back to the correct guide EVERY day, nice "feature". The only work around is to hide all the junk channels with...

Can slip you own movie into a usb transfer? Anyone know what vid/auds codecs dish is using for flash drives?

Ok I think I have my mind around this pl thing this should connect my comp to via the slingbox dish gave me, anyone disagree? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NETGEAR-85Mbps-Wall-Plugged-Ethernet-Adapter-XET1001-Powerline-/190718625666?pt=US_Powerline_Networking&hash=item2c67b74782

On my att uverse tv I could go ethernet to the back of the box to my computer ethernet and end up with a hardwire inet connect. Is their anyway to cheat and get to the inet through the ethernet on the back of the hopper? Uverse expects you to go wireless with multiple comps I prefer not to...

I guess the fourth time is the charm, I'd have to guess the complete wipe back to factory defaults was the trick?Dish dvr 510 factory reset (at least what worked for me) Menu/6/3/info/right/left/tv-video IN RHYTHM doing it deliberately did not work, select the middle button and a "memory...

I've had dish tech support guy "hit" my new/used dvr 510 three times with the reset code, nothing. I've done the factory default reset using the menu/6/3 unplug sequence and still have a pw protected box. My last hope is the guy I bought it from can get the pw from the guy he had loaned it out...
