Alexa used to control my Dish Hopper 3 receivers. When I tried this afternoon Alexa told me my skill needed to be reactivated. I searched for Dish under Alexa skills and received the following message “This skill no longer exists” What happened? I used that skill all the time to control my...

Failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. The recording was skipped since it has the date 6/2/25 and of course thinks it is not a new episode. Furthermore Wed, Thurs, and Friday will all be skipped since they all show the date as 6/2/25. I called Dish technical support so that they could...

I was granted early access to Alexa +. I quickly found that the skills that worked with Alexa will not work with Alexa +. For example Alexa + will not control my Dish Hoppers. Alexa + will not work with My Acurite skill to report my weather station results. Alexa + will not control my Ion...

Unfortunately I failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. With Lester Holt retiring from the broadcast NBC changed the program name to NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas. I have now changed the timer. I will miss Lester Holt. I thought he did a great job covering the news in an unbiased manner...

I saw a commercial today on my local ABC channel 6 in Columbus, Ohio. The commercial was urging people to Text TV to 39179 to tell Washington to modernize decade old regulations that cause big Tech to make the local stations disappear. Have others seen this commercial and what specifically are...

Manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H393: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My new Nighthawk router came with a one year free subscription to Armor security. 1) Netgear Armor detected that a suspicious remote location 185.147.124.216 attempted a connection to Living Room Hopper3 and blocked that connection. Does anyone know If that is a legitimate connection from Dish...

I have used a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 Router for my home network since 2015. I currently have 50 devices on my home network including Eufy cameras. Recently Spectrum upgraded my internet speed to 400 Mbps download. I could receive the 400 download speed if I connected my laptop directly to the...

PTAT has shut itself off twice in the last week on my Family Room Hopper3. Fortunately PTAT stayed on on my Living Room Hopper3. Both of my Hopper3 receivers have software version H382 since October 10th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am very disappointed that the Ohio State Michigan State football game on Saturday September 28th is only available on the Peacock streaming service. You would think that the Big Ten Network would broadcast the game but Peacock wants the money. Plus Peacock does not even offer a free trial...

Yesterday, September 17th, all of my Columbus, Ohio locals were breaking up and pixelating badly. There was no storm and satellite 119 spotbeam 10 had a strong signal strength of 58. Tonight I was watching High Potential which I had recorded the previous night. The pixelation was horrible and...

I noticed that Dish now has 6 4K HDR channels in their Guide (540-01 through 540-06). I am surprised since Dish doesn’t show much 4K HDR content. I wonder what content Dish is planning to show that requires them to have 6 channels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My USB OTA Tuner (white one) on my Living Room Hopper 3 has stopped working twice this last week. In both cases I rebooted my Living Room Hopper 3 and the USB tuner started working again. I have not noticed any problems with the USB OTA tuner on my Family Room Hopper 3. Sent from my iPhone...

Dave Arland, spokesperson for Pearl TV and the A3SA has an interesting interview on ATSC 3.0. Of course he is very positive about ATSC 3.0 but he does present some interesting facts. View: https://youtu.be/9tSHp3567pM?si=GpcUIcT_3gFi1lmC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This game was unusual. Morocco was leading initially 2 to 0. Argentina made a goal to make the score 2 to 1. At what we thought was the last moment of normal play Argentina made a goal to tie the game 2 to 2. The crowds erupted and started throwing bottles on the field. Officials suspended the...

Dish has finally added an App for the Paris Olympics. The app shows the Medal count, today’s events schedule, upcoming events, and Recorded events. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With 15 days until the start of the Olympics I am surprised that Dish has not announced their coverage. I would expect 4K HDR coverage on channel 540 and an app showing the coverage on each channel. I know that NBC has the rights to the Olympics but I hope that Dish will broadcast events in 4K...

I manually updated both of my two Hopper3 receivers to H376 and my Joey3 to J576 today. I have not been able to do any testing of the new software yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I manually updated my two Hopper 3 receivers to software H375. My Joey 3 remained at J573. I have not checked for a while but today I noticed that the MAC addresses of my two Hopper3 receivers and my Joey 3 client in my Netgear Nighthawk router all match the MAC address shown in the units. I...

Once again all of my local channel programming was interrupted due to weather alerts. I absolutely love my Dish Hopper commercial skip. I had to use my Apple TV to watch my network programming. Of course streaming the networks means watching all the commercials. I can’t believe that there are 6...

I manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H370 software and my Joey3 software to J570. The Caller ID and TV Enhancements was shut off on my Living Room Hopper3 receiver after the update. I have a church commitment so I will have to do testing later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tonight I was attempting to voice search for a program on my Family Room Hopper3 receiver. A message popped up asking if I wanted to link my Hopper3 to Google Assistant. I agreed. It asked me to open Google Assistant on my mobile device. I opened Google Assistant on my IPhone 12 Pro Max. It...

Tonight I turned on my Family Room Hopper3 and found it had done a partial reset. I lost my 3 lists of Favorite Channels, I had to rescan my OTA channels, and I had to sign back into Netflix and Amazon Prime. Most of my timers were still there but the ESPN 140 timer and the 540-03 timers for CFB...
