    Hopper freezing even on OTA channels?

    try unplugging everything at the same time for a few minutes, then plug in each hopper, then each joey...often, this helps...

    one of my 2 hoppers always needs a reset in the am

    So, I have 2h, and 4j, and things have been working pretty nice for the last 4 months or so.. Now, for the last week or so, one of my Hoppers has to be power cycled every morning, as I get a notice that some of my channels arent available now, and I dont need to call Dish, that they are aware of...

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    So, with the previous firmwares, I believe S213/S265, I was able to stream all my home network DLNA stuff to all the Hoppers and Joeys in my house; now, with this "newer" firmware, S217/S268, I can stream stuff to my 2 hoppers that are connected to the internet/home network, but I have lost that...

    Is 72 up? (Signal Restored to Eastern Arc)

    lots of erratic behavior with my system over the weekend; whether it was the upload center, solar flares, or both, it seems ok now... supposedly, the solar flares over the weekend were the most powerful ever measured, so that would explain a lot

    Hopper S213 Feedback and Issues

    I have 2 hoppers, and 4 Joeys. The 2 Hoppers are all connected to my home network via wired ethernet. The 4 Joeys are only connected via coax. I also have 2 NAS boxes connected to my home network, and I am able to watch and view all my movies/pictures/music that I have on the NAS boxes on EVERY...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    Yeah, I believe all tv's run back to a distribution point, either on my roof, or in my attic. Sounds like that will be a breeze to upgrade then! I was just installed 8 months ago, so my connections and such should still be ok, or, are there special connections that have to be made to the...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    my upgrade/install is tomorrow; coming from 1- 722k and 2- 222k's... connected to 6 TV's; 2 tv's to each receiver right now. any idea how long the upgrade will take? is it as simple as just plugging in boxes to my tv, or, will there need to be a lot of re-wiring? Thanks

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    yeah, they originally wanted 200, but I waited until I had to renew my programming packages today, and asked for a better deal... I wonder if anyone has been able to get this for 0?

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    well, finally pulled the trigger today, on what I thought was a pretty good deal.. had 1-722k, and 2- 222k's; am getting 2 Hoppers, and 4 joeys for 100.00 total out of pocket, with free install of course.. Is this a good deal, or should I have pushed for something better? thanks
