    How to get a Hopper bug fixed.

    Step 1: Post the bug on this site's Hopper Zone forum, and ask for help (no need to bother tech support, if it's not a real bug, or if there's already a workaround for it).

    They just installed the Hopper yesterday (including WiFi). But today, I woke up to this WiFi problem: I tried resetting everything, reconnecting the WiFI USB, even unplugging the Hopper itself: nothing helped. It couldn't even find any WiFi networks (even though there are dozens in my...

    Re-use existing DirecTV cables for Hopper?

    If we already have 2 cables, coming into our living room, from the outside satellite dish. They're connected to a non-HD DirectTV satellite. 1) Can the Hopper reuse these same cables? Or, at least, can the installation person yank out the old cables and fit the Hopper's cables through the same...
