    Input button not changing tuners solution

    Very often when I turn on my H3 after being off for hours it will not do anything when I press the input button to change tuners. I first tried unplugging the power and then plug back in, sometimes it works but lately it hasn't worked. Very aggravating ! My solution that seems to work quickly...

    Hopper 3 OTA Recording Problem

    Did you see the following post ? I had the same problem, viewing live OTA was fine, but recordings were all broke up. I installed a 10db inline attenuator to the RF input of the OTA USB module and my recordings are fine now. I was getting reading of 100% signal before and I still am but the...

    Hopper3 and OTA questions

    I tried before starting this thread to PM Zack, I didn't see a PM button so I did a conversation, later, he was kind to reply and stated he's no longer an agent. Where's the PM for an agent ? or another preferred method of contacting DIRT ? Thanks !

    Hopper3 and OTA questions

    I don't think so for Grit, if you look at www.grittv.com/find-us/ And "this" tv network in wikipedia you'll see it's also nationwide and actually owned by the Tribune and MGM. As is H&I is nationwide. So you would think Dish would have easy access to this data, but I just don't know exactly...

    Hopper3 and OTA questions

    OK thanks for the info. In my guide they are providing data for several OTA subchannels like METV, AntennaTV, Cozi, Movies and many others I'm really not interested in other than the ones I specify here. Mainly to me, they're just not providing data for "this" and "Grit" and "H&I". So I'm...

    Hopper3 and OTA questions

    Hi, I've been with DirecTV since 2002 and just switched to Dish. Mainly b/c DTV's OTA unit AM21n can't scan and as such it wouldn't list at least 4 channels that were there with good signal levels but it wouldn't let them into the DTV guide. I understand why as DTV changed it to only see...

    Screen going black more and more often

    My problem is as the title says but to be specific, it's mainly when watching a recorded show and it's over I hit stop so I can then delete it. That's when the screen will go totally black for about 3 seconds, almost every time. Also, it goes black for a several seconds when changing channels...

    HR44 and AM21n strange problem, help !

    I tried but I just couldn't give up. I had tried the 73101 zip coconut10 provided as primary and my zip of 32195 as secondary and still had the same problems. I reversed the zips and no good. Then I looked up other RF27 channels and found Austin Texas had a station on RF27 and put that zip of...

    HR44 and AM21n strange problem, help !

    Well, I'm just going to have to try to get the station to correct their info. I've spent all day on this (again) and tried many different zips and done countless double red resets and still the same problems. I even rotated the outdoor antenna to get a stronger signal reading for 27-2 and no...

    HR44 and AM21n strange problem, help !

    OK, I did the Antenna Reset procedure, then the double red button reboot (it never says "Downloading Guide", instead "Step 2 of 2: Receiving satellite info" which is when I press the red button again. That did clear out the OTA channels in the guide. I then re did the "initial setup" for...

    HR44 and AM21n strange problem, help !

    Thanks for the fast replies and help. I have done the Reset in antenna settings and re-did the "initial setup" and rebooted many times. However, I reboot by unplugging both the HR44 and the Am21n, waiting a few seconds and plugging them back in. I'll try the double red button reboot. Do I...

    HR44 and AM21n strange problem, help !

    I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of months and have done everything I can think of. I've read a lot here too but I need some help please. I had a HR34 genie for a couple years but recently got DTV to upgrade it to the HR44 genie. Also have 3 mini receivers. I purchased the AM21n...
