    First time DISH customer, already sorry...

    And when you had cable and Direct, was it really HD or simply formatted to 16:9? On dish, you can format individual station by pressing * on the remote. But don't do that on a HD station as you will loose some screen content. I watch RTPT Root Pittsburgh for Penguins hockey and they have a sd...

Logitech Harmony is for the sytems that...

    Apps not working on Hopper/Joey

    The weather app I use all the time and now it loads, looks like it is working and then the message pops up saying Data not Available. Have used red button (mainly to get caller ID back) but not power cord. Will try that. When the East is having weather issues is when this dies. HATE IT.

    Controlling my audio receiver with the Hopper Remote

    Harmony Remote is the way to go. You name an event and tell it what to control. It links those together and one button again. Only way to control several things with one button.

    Another EHD thread

    The 855 error disappeared with the latest update. Error 855 says the size of the source is 0. The error pops up when it tries to divide by zero to get how long the transfer will take. That's been fixed.

    Replacment Hopper Caller ID Failure

    Our AT&T phones don't light the display unless you anser the phone. Very hard to see when a call comes in. That is why we rely on the Dish Solution. It is NOT like my hammer keeps missing the nail.

    Replacment Hopper Caller ID Failure

    A few months ago I received a replacement hopper and ever since, I have to hit the red reset to get Caller ID working. This is a real pain as we rely on it to screen calls and it is not until it is not working do we realized that we have a problem. I look at Caller ID settings and it is always...

    Reading how great Hopper/Joey are, but wife is ready to break our contract!

    I have one/hopper, 3 joeys and never had this problem. Maybe because of the 3 things the other user says to make sure of, I already have. Love the hOPPER/jOEY is the best system DIS ever had and beats the Directv systems I've seen.

    EHDTransfer

    855 also pops up IF the source is 0 gb. When Prime is saved the file size is not transferred, instead the file size is set to 0.000 gb.

    EHDTransfer

    Yes, all PTAT saved gets file size of 0 and fail. If I transfer anything from no folders to ehd, it is fine because they have a filesize. I am going to try another way.Like playing th eptat recording and recording it at the same time.

Is there some wway to fix the file size error? The original program is in PrimeTime. I saved it to copy...

    1000.2 WA antenna issue

    Distant tree. You are probably shooting over it as you are not going 90 degrees out from the dish, you are verticle from that due to the angle of the lnb's to the dish. It is a 90 from the lnb to the dish and out to space.
