    New Recordings showing "100% watched" after latest update?

    Since the latest SW upgrade, some new recordings are showing up in DVR listing as 100% watched, even though it was just recorded and I have not watched them. This is happening to my brother-in-law's Hopper as well. Mine seems intermittent, meaning that if I record several shows in a series, a...

    The best day ever!

    I detailed in another posting how my brother-in-law and father-in-law upgraded from two 612 DVRs to two Hoppers. Well over the weekend, we visited them, and when we asked my father-in-law how he likes his new Hopper, he said it was great! He went on about how easy it is to use, how the colored...

    The dreaded 82%

    Another poster here commented about his Hopper installation experiences, and it involved his box hanging at 82% during the software download. When I had my Hopper installed, it repeatedly hung up at 82% during the software download, and it took several attempts with a second box and a replaced...

    Billing question about upgrading to the Hopper from other DISH DVRs

    OK, so my wife and I upgraded to a Hopper, and all is well. We showed it to my in-laws, and they decided that they want to upgrade. Problem is, DISH is telling them that it will cost them $31 MORE than their current bill to upgrade. This doesn't seem to make sense. Here's the scenario.... They...

That sounds familiar. Where did I see that before? Ah yes--it seems that @jeepers94 had a similar issue that I...

    Frustrated with advertising

    My wife saw an ad for an "Upgrade to the Hopper" this weekend, so we got excited and called to make the upgrade. The only relevant fineprint on the ad was "*Available with qualifying packages" We have the "America's Top 250" package, and the ad states that the package is $44.99 per month for...

    USB External Drive question

    Sorry for another newbie question.... I have a number of recordings on my current 722 DVR. My new Hopper is scheduled to be in stalled in a couple days. If I save my 722 recordings to an external USB hard drive, can I later connect that hard drive to the Hopper and either restore or watch the...

    Is the 722 remote compatible with the Hopper?

    Hopper newbie here.... ?My wife and I just ordered the Hopper/Joey upgrade over the weekend, and it is scheduled to install on Wednesday. Coming from a 722 receiver, this looks like a fine upgrade. I purchased an extra remote for the 722 since my wife and I each like having a remote in the...
