Dish has apparently fixed this for me as it's working as of today. There was no app update or change in my receiver settings so apparently they fixed something in their backend which fixed it for me. I had actually submitted a comment via the iPad in-app comment feature indicating that I was...

I had a similar experience. My old HWS died and I just got my replacement today. The DishAnywhere app and the web DishAnywhere still show my old HWS (I know you said your web was OK). I did a brief online chat with Dish but pretty quickly got the pre-formatted "this is a known issue" message...

That's my usual strategy as well. as you said, it sometimes takes a couple of times for that to work. We shouldn't have to go through those kinds of gyrations to watch stuff on our "whole home DVR". Wish they'd fix this.

Several times I have found that when I tried to play a recording from a remote hopper on a local hopper, I get video and no audio. I have to play around with changing channels, choosing different recordings and then coming back to my desired recording. Sometimes that fixes it right away and...

They need to get rid of this annoyance. It doesn't bother me too much but it drives my wife nuts which, in turn, is bad for me. COME ON DISH, SAVE MY MARRIAGE!

Is this different than the broadcast flag (which I know was invalidated)? I know what HDCP is but I think the broadcast flag, when it was still enacted, would just drop resolution down but wouldn't necessarily block the signal altogether.

I don't think I'd be interested in this. I like having things stored locally (while understanding there are some advantages to keeping it all in the cloud). I currently have unlimited data through Time Warner but if that ever gets tiered, it would kill DVR in the cloud.

No digital satellite receiver will do what you're asking as far as I know. It's not the fact that it's a DVR. It's the communication between the box and the LNB's. It takes a couple of seconds to switch channels on both my Hopper 2000 and my Hopper w/Sling. I haven't timed them, however.

Just bought a Harmony 700 refurbished for $70. I've got it controlling my Sanyo projector, Onkyo AV receiver, Roku HD box, Blu-ray player, DVD player and Hopper 2000. Works really well.

If you go to Settings and select the hopper 2000, it will let you see what's on that hopper. You just can't play anything from it without the sling adapter.

It's kind of misleading. You can see the content and actually watch it on the hopper w/ sling. If you have a hopper w/out sling, you can see the content on it, but if you try to watch anything it says "hey, you need a sling adapter to do that". The first time I tried it I thought "alright, I...

Thanks. I'll try the MENU-MENU trick next time it happens.

Joey = S292 Hopper w/ Sling = S309 (this is the hopper the joey is supposed to be connected to) Hopper 2000 = S246 All 3 show four green MoCA bars - at least at the moment. Currently the joey is connected to the correct hopper.

I just have one joey. There's no one else in the house who even knows how any of this works. They just turn on the TV and watch. Maybe we have a ghost. Or gremlins. Based on the # of views and the lack of comments, I'm going to assume my problem is unique. Bummer.

My hopper/Joey setup is fairly new so I'm still getting to know it. Twice in the last three days my Joey has unlinked itself from one hopper and linked itself to my other hopper. I searched the forum but didnt see a reference to this issue. Is there something I can do to prevent this from...
