    Does the same skin for the 40.0 remote and the 52.0?

    The Blue skin has torn and I need a new one. Dish reports they don't have a skin any more for the 40.0, but in the pictures the skin looks similar to the one they do have, the 52.0.

    How do I mark a thread solved?

    I have the answers I need and people keep posting. They have read and considered my issue and I owe them thanks for what they have done, but I no longer need advice on my topic.

    Should I go to Dish for a challenging Antenna installation and hookup?

    You may remember me as the person who was completely unable to get an antenna cable to the Hopper. We were pretty much ready to give up on having local channels on the main tv despite all of the great information y'all provided. It still looked too challenging. Well, we found a Cat 5 cable that...

    Need to record from one channel dropped by Dish

    We are very happy with Dish. However, one of our local stations is having a long-running discussion on whether they will be on Dish, and of course in the meantime they aren't. When I set up the Dish system we tried to add an antenna for the main TV, but we found that there was no easy and...

    Watch recorded content on PC laptop?

    The Dish site TV Steaming on the Go says I can watch shows recorded on my Hopper on my laptop. But it doesn't mention watching on a PC. Am I missing something?

    Recordings from one of my timers do not show up in the recorded programs icons

    I made a timer for the MLB playoffs. I can go to the timer and see on the timer schedule that games are scheduled for recording. I can go to the Guide and see the red dot on the future programs. However, there is no icon for the games that have been recorded. This causes a problem of course...

    How to list the On Demand earlier episodes of a series in the timer

    I set up a timer for a weekly program a few episodes after it started. Now if I press DVR and go to the timer I see only the programs that have been recorded since I set up the timer. However, after we watched one episode the timer (briefly) listed the earlier episodes as On Demand and I managed...

    Hopper 3 extend recording time

    I feel really dumb asking this, but here goes. Common scenario 1: I select a program on the Guide and press Record. Suppose it is a sports program that I think may run more than one hour over, or it is a regular program that I know will run late. How do I extend the recording time at this...

    "bap" sound coming from someting. The Hopper3?

    We have a fairly new Hopper3 with a Joey Wireless Access Point behind the also fairly new Samsung Q7 TV. Several times during an evening of watching the Olympics we will hear a sound that I will describe as "Bap" coming from behind the TV, where the components (including the separate box that...

    Hopper3 user manual

    I found a thread that is more than a year old that conclude that there is no Hopper3 user manual. Is this still true? I want one!

    Hopper3, record only new episodes

    Moving in to the Hopper3, I have set up a number of timers. I didn't see an option to record only new episodes, and I figured I would go back later and change that. It is now "later" and I set out to do so, and can't find an option to record only new episodes. I don't want to clutter my...

    Plug Hopper 3 and Wireless access point in to surge supressor?

    In the past Dish has always asked me to plug its devices directly into the wall. For awhile we lived with the cord for the VIP522 strung across the room in order to do so. We simply don't have enough wall outlets close to the setup for this. Today we are getting a Hopper3. A wireless access...

    Transferring recordings from VIP622 to Hopper3

    Today we are moving to the Hopper3. The technician who came out last week to deal with a problem with the vip622 sold us the hard disk to transfer the recordings and got the archiving started. That all went fine, and in fact we watched a program that was on the hard disk, so I know they are...

    Attach Wireless Joey to back of tv using using its VESA holes

    As part of our plan to move to the Hopper3 system, we bought a 50" tv that we have mounted on its stand instead of the wall, and that we plan to move from one room to another as needed. Given that the TV would be served by a wireless Joey, I would like to see if it is possible to mount the Joey...

    Help me verify my order for Hopper3

    Hi folks, I saw you helped a previous poster confirm what he was planning to order and I would appreciate that help too. We are moving from a VIP622 and a 322. We have a main TV which we just upgraded to a Samsung QN55Q7, which can do 4K. My thought is to connect the Hopper3 to it, to have at...

    Heat output, VIP 622 vs Hopper3 with Joey wireless booster

    I am moving from a VIP622 plus a 322 to a Hopper3 with one wired Joey and one wireless. Recently I moved the 622 out of the media cabinet and set it on top, since it runs so hot in there that it would occasionally shut down. I would appreciate some information on whether to plan to put the new...

    Hopper remote operate Samsung Q7?

    We are moving to a Hopper 3 and a Samsung Q7. The actual model number is QN55Q7FAMI. This TV's own remote communicates to the TV via Bluetooth. I have loved having one remote, the Dish one, to operate my 622 receiver and the Samsung TV that just died. Sometimes I need to access the TV menu...

    Does the USB on the 622 provide power for an external drive, or do I need one that plugs in?

    Thanks to advice from Mark L and kwindrem, I am motivated to buy an external drive to back up the recordings I have not gotten to watch yet on the 622. Some of the recommended drives work from power supplied by the USB and do not have a connector to an electrical outlet. Should I get one that...

    Can I remove the drive from my 622 and use it as an external drive if I have to replace the 622?

    My 622 is getting a bit flaky and i am afraid when the technicians come (it's not working right now) they will want me to replace it. I have been trying to catch up with the programming I want to watch on the DVR, but I haven't been able to. I know on the 622, and I assume on the newer models...

    Considerations/questions on moving to Hopper

    We are considering moving from a 622 and 322 to a Hopper system, and I have lots of questions. Here are the current ones. It is hard to run cable in our home. When we built it we ran coax to possible TV locations throughout the house, terminating in a block in the attic that went to the...

    622 selectively fails to work, mostly errors 31-12-45 or 31-11 45

    For a couple of months now, roughly since the start of football season, the 622 will not connect to the satellite on weekends. We have called service. We have had the technician out. He found absolutely noting wrong with the dish or the receiver, which was working at the time. I know the drill...
