    I watched a lot of football this afternoon and yesterday and the Hopper 3 worked perfectly.

    Dish remote issues

    Did a decent test of the 30 second jump this afternoon, and it worked perfectly. Even seemed snappier after the update to version H700. Fingers crossed. Also, I forgot to thank everyone for their help. Thank you!

    I updated to software version H700 this morning. I'll let you guys know of any changes to my problem.

    Dish remote issues

    Today everything worked perfectly. I did make one change. I un-paired the 54.1 remote earlier. I'll keep testing. Thanks for looking. Intermittent problems are very difficult.

    Dish remote issues

    I like to watch sporting events on a delayed basis. I record the event and start watching it a little after it starts. In the last month or two, I've had difficulty trying to skip forward 30 seconds or resuming after a pause. Sometimes, rather than skipping forward 30 seconds playback goes...

    NBC and ABC OTA channels are gone

    Sorry. I all did was unplug the USB connection and plug it back in. It seemed to be securely plugged when I unplugged it. Both my dongle and receiver only have one USB port.

    NBC and ABC OTA channels are gone

    Thank you guys for all your help. I'm once again getting NBC and ABC over-the-air and can record programs using Dish. I re-scanned for the OTA channels again this morning, but neither NBC or ABC appeared. 57 channels were found. I then checked the USB connection and restarted the Hopper. 83...

    NBC and ABC OTA channels are gone

    I did a rescan this morning, but will try again tomorrow. I found this very puzzling. Why could I get a local channel using the Dish satellite, and not the OTA with an antenna on just a few of the locals? Makes no sense. Good to know that Dish wouldn't block OTA channels. Sometimes they...

    NBC and ABC OTA channels are gone

    I pay for the local stations with my Dish subscription, and I have an outdoor antenna connected to my Dish receiver (Hopper). Recently, the OTA channels for NBC, ABC and ION disappeared. Programs that my wife was recording were no longer recorded. Other local stations such as PBS, CW, Fox...

    OTA Breakup Problem

    I'm also waiting for a software fix. I live 6 miles from the transmitters and have 100% signal strength on all local channels. Using the TV tuner, the picture is perfect. I never watch live TV, but get pixelation on all recorded OTA local stations, and it's bad enough that I usually stop...

    OTA Sports recording time not extended by 60 minutes

    Several times I have been frustrated by missing the last part of a Sunday afternoon NFL game. I have found that if I record the OTA source rather than the satellite source, that's when I run into trouble. I like to use the OTA source to save tuners for all the stuff my wife records. I...

    aiming procedure for new HD dish

    I'm not positive about anything right now. The meter is a very simple one. It only cost about $10. The label says Satellite Finder Model SF-95. To use it I just removed the barrel connector (if that's what it's called) and attached the cable connectors to the appropriate meter connectors...

    aiming procedure for new HD dish

    When local HD channels became available in Jacksonville FL, I had Dish upgrade my service. They replaced two antennas with a new single one and which now uses satellites 61.5, 72 and 77. All was fine for a while, but one afternoon I lost the Weather Channel, channel 214, satellite 61.5...
