I've recently started dividing up some of my shows in to categories and created several folders. All of the sudden, my folder... "Troy" isn't showing up as an option for folders to save in? I even deleted, the re-created the folder and it STILL won't show. It's visisble in the DVR screen but not...

There's been a handfull of times when the Hopper remote was just sitting on the table, yet the Hopper "did something" like it had been given a remote command. (Changed channel, stopped DVR playback, went in to the guide...etc) The only possible "related activity" I can think of is that My wife...

hahah.. I just tried tried hitting play again yesterday.... and guess what? It works now.... so scratch the above complaint and replace it with "Inconsistant operations... sometimes the Play button works and sometimes it just stares at you and blinks vacantly until you hit select and choose...

Ohhh, another quirk... I noticed the other day that I had a row of show icosn but I couldnt select the one on the far right. In order to get to it I had to arrow to the left until it wrapped past the left side of the screen and it then would highlight the icon on the right.

I've noticed a couple of quirks (They may have been mentioned... I gave up about page 8, LOL) While watching recordings (Joey) the skip ahead button sometimes doesn't.... it "skips" to right about where it was and all you see is a glitch in the video. After hitting it a couple of times it...

I use a Sling and I have a HIC hooked up. Sling has been.... iffy, I guess. I consider a large part of that to be my rather crappy 640k upload link though. I have found that it has been getting better the more I have tried to use it. (Not sure why that might be.) I can stream live vid and...

It seems like if it's streaming 4 channels of HD at the same time they could manage to slip in a 512 byte packette saying "HEY! Starting @ 7:30PM all CBS shows are delayed 30 minutes!".... it really does seem like a poor choice of development priorities that it doesn't.

LOL... coupons! Oscar Myer Hot Dogs were on sale last summer for $1.49.... had a .50 coupon that doubled to $1... $0.49 for 10 dogs ($.05 each.) Buns for $1/8 pack... counting only the 8 complete dogs you can make they are $.19 each.. ;-P The extra penny covers the mustard and ketchup... (also...

Ehhh, just cut the games short. If they can't finish their games on schedule it's not my concern.... just cut them off. ;-P (Not being a sports person it always bugs me when games screw things up.... and why the heck do they always schedule baseball games at rush hour so it takes me an extra...

It finally populated... weird that it took that long but maybe it doesn't even try until you go in there? (In other words... "Movies" were just fine.... it was just when browsing by network, and then only when I first found it. By the next AM it was populated, so somewhere between the 15...

It's a 3MB conection.... so not blazing but not dial-up either. It did wake up this AM and I can interact with the shows now (As well as seeing the info screens) I have some stuff downloading today. We'll see how that goes... it was usually reporting ~30 minutes for 1 Hr HD programs to download.

I don't think this is Hopper specific so I posted here, appologies if I was wrong. OK, basic on-demand question. I Hit Menu/On-Demand then select "All TV Channels" and see the channel I want.... lets say BBC America.... next I hit "Top Gear" and so far so good.... but now what? When I scroll...

Ahhhhaaa! Thanks Nismoman with your help I found it.... here's a link for anyone ending up here after a search. http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-forum/158496-dish-network-21-0-learning-remote.html That's how to program the "21" remote but the proceedure is identical for the "40" remote that...

I know about the programming via the Joey and looking up codes, but what about codes that aren't in there? I specifically am looking to add the ON/OFF and Preset light level codes from a Lutron IR dimmer switch. Is there a "Set this mode and point the old remote here" way to read in codes?

1) How many Hopper/Joeys were installed? 1H/2J 2) Were you able to get the best promotional price for the Hopper system? New Customer Free W/AT200 3) Who did the install/upgrade? Dish Network Tech, Retailer, or Third Party Contractor Dish. 4) How long did the install take? hours? days? 3.5...
