Yea, after finding the HOPPER manual online and fumbling through it to read all kinds of info about reprogramming the remote, I came across something that mentioned the Hopper can do it. I then decided to give it a try and programming the remote the way we wanted through the HOPPER receiver was...

I looked for this in their HDTV, but again, nothing. Again, I am chalking most of the issues up to the fact that this HDTV is a REAL generic HDTV in terms of features. Basically, two HDMI and one shared composite/component input. No "SMART" features, no DLNA, no ethernet, & no audio outputs...

Yea, I was hoping for this too with the HDMI in/out connections of the soundbar. However, it unfortunately doesn't work this way. They are TOTALLY independent of each other. When we turn the TV off, the sound bar stays on (along with audio still coming from it). And when we turn the TV on, the...

Yea, I was at least hoping for this too, but no dice. Trust me, there is not even a headphone jack (output) on this bare bones Samsung HDTV. I have looked the TV all over. INPUTS only. This is why we are now having to resort into looking at hooking up the soundbar directly to the Hopper...

Yea, I realize the HDTV has audio INPUTs, but these inputs don't work with a soundbar. Rather, a soundbar requires audio OUTPUTs from the piece of equipment (HDTV, Hopper receiver, audio receiver, etc.). in order to connect the TV to a sound bar. I was thinking the Hopper remote could...

I have a family member who has DISH network and I am trying to help them with a situation. They have a Hopper in their main living room. It is then connected to a 46" Samsung HDTV. This HDTV is a real basic model and has absolutely no audio outputs on its rear panel. No analog, no optical...

I have a family member who has the DISH Hopper/Joey system. From what this family member has told me, the DISH network Joeys seem to borrow a tuner from the main Hopper DVR and he said he sometimes gets a message asking him if he is sure he wants to change the channel (on Hopper) cause it...

I have a family member who has DISH network and the Hopper/Joey system in four rooms of their house. They apparently aren't real happy with the way the equipment works & are possibly wanting to go back to DIRECTV. They are considering the new DirecTV GENIE whole home system. Had a few questions...

No, they didn't specifically ask for an HDMI box. Rather, they simply got this box when they signed up for a triple play package with Brighthouse (phone, TV, internet). At the time, in addition to swapping out their modem (for one that could handle the phone line option), the tech also swapped...

I have a family member who has Brighthouse cable. About 2 years ago, they were upgraded to a Scientific Atlanta 3250HD box. It was hooked up to an older 32" CRT Sony TV & mainly used to watch SD digital channels (2-150). Since this Sony TV has HD component inputs, it is able to receive the HD...

Can the USB port on the front of the Hopper DVR receiver be used to play back various video file formats (.MKV, .AVI, .MP4, etc.) from a USB thumb drive? Or is it mainly for hard drive expansion?

I recently got the Blockbuster@home service to compliment our DISH TV service. While I figured out how to watch Starz and Epix material on a Windows based PC (laptop and desktop), is there any way to also watch it on an Android smartphone?

I guess I can try my Dlink USB wireless adapter and see if it recognizes it. Then see if I can configure it correctly. Can't hurt. Otherwise, I actually have a (Netgear) wireless Ethernet bridge adapter (WGPS606) that I could move and use just as well. Would just plug it into the Hopper's...

OK, so I can easily watch and change channels as needed when away from home, but the wife can then watch DISH network as desired and not be interfered with AT ALL, correct? She doesn't use PIP & am pretty sure its just straight surfing like habits (changing the channel every so often).

Yea, but if I change the billing address to my vacation address, isn't that gonna possibly mess up the billing to the credit (card on file) for each month? Also, is there a "processing fee" each time to add and delete the blockbuster@home service? In other words, will I be charged extra when I...

If I hook up a slingbox adapter to a DISH Hopper DVR receiver, will it allow me to watch live TV on other devices (iPad, android, etc) away from home and NOT affect what is being watched on the main Hopper at the time? I'm hoping it somehow utilizes the multiple tuners of the Hopper.

Can the new Hopper DISH DVR receiver use various brand USB wireless adapters (to make it connect to the internet for Blockbuster@home) instead of the one that DISH tries to sell you? I have a Dlink DWL-122 USB wireless adapter that I was hoping could be used with a Hopper receiver.

Does the shipping address to send Blockbuster DVDs and games HAVE to be the same as the address where the DISH network satellite TV service is received? Or is there a way to change this within my online account? Would like to possibly subscribe, but then when needed, easily be able to change the...

I was thinking of passing them off to a friend & neither is currently active on an account. And actually, the 3500 is still sealed in its original box so I assume it has its original smart card. I guess I would then only have any luck with the 4700, right?

I have two older DISH network receivers & I wonder if they still work with DISH Network. I have gotten conflicting reports. They are models 3500 (brand new) & 4700 (slightly used).

I have a family member who recently got set up with a DirecTV satellite system (about 5 months ago). 4 TVs including two HD DVRs & two standard receivers. I believe their HD DVRS are HR-21s (not totally sure, but will check later to fully make sure) & I noticed how they allow you to hook them up...

I am looking at possibly getting the HD Only package from DISH ($29.99/month), but have a question about it. How many channels is it curently truly at? I have read on other boards that DISH is up to 50 HD channels, but they only list 42 on their website for this package. Which is it or is it...

I am looking to "add" the new Dish Network HD Only package ($29.99/month) to my existing Comcast basic cable. I don't have an HDTV, but plan to get one soon. I currently get just the standard Comcast analog channels (w/ no box) and am pretty happy with it. I don't like Comcast's HD package and...

I am looking at possibly getting DISH Network and the VIP722. I see how it has a USB connection for an external drive. After some reading around this forum (& others), I had a question about this USB port. Can a external USB drive be hooked up and increase the OVERALL storage of the DVR or is...

I am possibly interested in subscribing to DISH Network's new HD only programming ($29.99/month) and also getting the DISH VIP722 receiver to view it on. I examined the brochure online and had a question about some of its outputs on the back of the unit. There is a yellow color output titled...
