This set provides an absolutely stellar performance when streaming Amazon or Netflix from the TV apps. The black blobs are certainly a problem with either HBO or Dish compressing the image heavily. It probably wasn't seen as an issue until OLED became popular since most other TVs cannot...

Am I understanding you correctly that this image quality has the same problem when viewing HBO using Amazon? Disappointing. :( Is there any hope of improving this by raising the quality issue with Dish? (Dark scenes in general as you mentioned.)

I was using a Hopper 3 to watch the latest episode of WestWorld on my LG OLED television and was very disappointed with the impossible to ignore compression artifacts on dark scenes. The huge black/gray blobs on the screen were very distracting. Is there anything that I can do about this other...

After a week I find myself using the 40.0 most of the time. I think this is because of the power button and skip usability features I mentioned before. Is there a way to get to the Home screen using the 40.0 remote?

I guess I can see how fixing the 50 event limit is a low priority since by the time the show is on the air it will get recorded. I would still point out that it's a poor user experience that scares the user. (Enough for people to create and reply to this thread!)

I ran into a usability issue with the 52.0 last night. I was watching a recorded show and tried to press the skip forward button to jump through the commercial break. My fat fingers accidentally also pressed the channel up button which is adjacent. All of a sudden my playback stops and I'm...

I'm carefully watching the skipped episodes and as of this morning it's working its way closer to the premier. By tomorrow I'll know if it schedules an event for the premier. I do wonder why the 50 event limit exists on a modern box. I find it hard to believe it's a memory issue. Is that...

My tech was a Dish employee and had ZERO interest in taking aback the remote. I even mentioned experiences from this forum but he said Dish had no interest in old remotes. I even tried to give him one of my previous generation remotes but he said to just throw them out.

I really miss the single button CC. I did miss the page up/down but I've since read that channel up/down now does this function. The skip/FF button works better than I expected. I do wish it didn't wrap around since I tended to press it multiple times to get to 300x only to press it one...

We want to hear how about your ordering experience! I posted to the forum and received a PM the next day. My Hopper 3 was installed less than a week later. We want to hear about your install how did it go? Installer called asking to come early. No issues. I was allowed to keep my 40.0...

I changed the day to save to 2 but unfortunately this didn't make any more shows appear in the transfer list. My Hopper 3 came so those programs I couldn't transfer are now lost. :( Dish, please consider allowing saved Prime Time shows to be transferred. (Not every Prime Time channel, only...

I'm preparing for my Hopper 3 upgrade so I'm transferring everything I haven't watched on my Hopper 1 to an external HD. Most shows got copied but there are a few shows that appear in the My Recordings list but don't show up in the transfer list. I did notice that most of the missing items...

Thanks for the video option screenshots. It looks like many of the previous filters are included. I do chuckle that a "current release" is anything since 1980 (36 years ago Yikes!) Hopefully Dish will continue to refine these screens and apply them to regular searches as well as VoD.

When browsing the search results, a folder is shown when there are multiple times when a movie is showing. In order to set a timer for one of these showings, you have to navigate inside the folder and select which time you want to use. After doing this you have to press cancel to navigate back...

Does the Hopper 3 scroll back to the top of the list after setting a inside a folder? (Multiple showings of a movie)
