Thanks for the clarification!

QUOTE="dare2be, post: 3664544, member: 168604"]Scott answered that question in post#2. No. Actually, the original post was: And Scott's reply was: Note that Scott didn't specify where on the hard drive - in the regular, 'My recordings' space (leaving room for fewer recordings), or in some...

I realize this is a very old thread, but I just got a Hopper with Sling; as far as I can tell, no one has really answered the key question posed here - are the transcoded programs stored in some hidden/inaccessible area of the Hopper's disk, and therefore do NOT affect the space available for...

On the other hand, there could be some movers/potential movers who might like the new spot beam coverage. Maybe some of those markets that up to now have had HD locals only on 61.5, but look like they'll also be on Ciel-2. Could open up possibilities for some folks. Hypothetically, of...

Since you don't do OTA via the 722, the problem you saw was definitely not the one I'm talking about. In any case, with the problem I had, you couldn't get to the program guide. You could hit 'menu', then some of the options would be available, some grayed out. "Restore factory defaults" was...
