    Hopper won't recognize my external hard drives

    The other thing I would add to the 3 hard drives not showing content but being recognized is I have 3 USB 8 gig sticks that I have used for 2 years, I know they are not supported but truth is they have always worked flawlessly better than the expensive WD external actually, so that it is 6...

    My issue is a bit different, all three of my drives are WD, external drives with their own plug in power. All have worked flawlessly for over a year, I leave 2 plugged in all the time. These drives ARE RECOGNIZED by the hopper, when you plug them in you immediately get the message and they show...

    Dish remote 54.0 learned codes

    I just upgraded my hopper 2 to hopper 3. So far love it. One exception on the 40.0 remote I had 4 learned codes that would allow me power up everything and do a couple of tv functions. The 54.0 shows it learns the codes but they do not work. Tried TV codes, amplifier codes, different buttons...

    "Upgraded" from VIP722 to two VIP612... now unsatisfying HD

    I have a 722 and 2-612's all three have great HD picture quality and I also have a 1000.4 dish. I also have a great outside antenna and yes the over the air quaility for locals is definetly better than the local Dish re-broadcasts, at least in Dallas. If you have the ability to hook up an...
