    First press of skip forward, backward ignored on Joey3

    When I press skip forward or skip backward, my Joey3 stutters and ignores the command. Successive commands are acted upon... until at least 20 seconds goes by without any remote presses. Then the problem will occur again if I hit those buttons. I'm running Joey software J560 downloaded 8/8. My...

    To Be Announced, FNC, FOXB, MSNBC, CNN

    Beginning today, large time swaths in these channels are showing "To Be Announced". CNN shows "CNN programming". ESPNews and Weather Channel are also showing this, but I think they genuinely have this description at times. But for the more mainstream news channels, you can't record scheduled...

    Hopper3 LAN issues with DHCP, APIPA, and Upper Ethernet Port

    Ever since getting the Hopper3 over a year ago, I've put up with a periodic loss of connection to the internet. So this past weekend I did some troubleshooting and found out some interesting facts, at least for my setup. I have a Hopper3 with a hardwired ethernet connection to my router and 1...

    Adding a self-powered USB drive to upgrade a Wally to a DVR

    With regards to adding DVR capabilities to a Wally receiver: Dish states that if you want to turn your Wally receiver into a DVR, you need a USB 2.0, 500 GB - 2 TB capacity, and self-powered or internal-powered (not pulling power off the USB connection). I've seen a few comments on this forum...

    Media Player on Hopper 3 to view computer jpgs. No slideshow.

    I run Windows Media Player on my home computer for its use as a DLNA server. I've successfully been able to use two different smart TVs (Sharp, LG) to connect via my home network and view jpg photos I have stored on my computer in a public folder. I've also done this with a Samsung DVD player...

    Hopper 3 has unreliable signal strength tool

    I had to do some maintenance on my patio cover which required moving my dish temporarily. I've got a Hybrid Triple WA.2. I've pointed a 2-satellite Dish Pro from scratch for many years while camping using a plywood-mounted dish base and always had good luck, so how hard could it be to do 3...

    Hopper 3 wired to LAN thru Hub requires custom reset

    My Hopper 3 is hardwired to my LAN via an ethernet hub, and the presence of the hub seems to cause problems whenever my internet connection drops or when the router is reset. We had a power outage a few days ago and I noticed today that the Hopper is not connected to the internet, nor will a...

    DishAnywhere Not Responding on Dell Laptop, Win 10, Intel Graphics 620

    I've seen a recent post on problems with DishAnywhere since the U511 update. However, I appear to be having a different type of problem. I get logged on OK, I get a message saying I'm connected to my home receiver, and I can even see the icons for content which I've recorded on my DVR - and...

    Manual recordings and the DirecTV app

    Every time a new version of the android DirecTV app comes out, I download it, run it, watch it lock-up, refuse to recognize my DVR, or refuse to play certain recorded content. I think I've found at least one explanation or workaround to a recurring problem for DVR content playback where the app...

    SloMo Bug in HR44 with some channels

    This problem was driving me nuts trying to define, until I spent some time, varying different conditions until I could repeat it 100% of the time. It seems that there's a bug in the HR44 (or at least mine) with respect to slow motion. As many of you know, slow motion is activated by holding...

    How can I rename my DVRs as referenced by DirecTV App?

    I have an HR44 and HR24 in my home setup. The installer must have assigned names to these receivers, but the names aren't meaningful to me and I'd like to rename them. I have Whole Home DVR and I'm familiar with the rename function available there (Settings / Whole Home / Name Location). This...

    Vacation Suspension leaves DVRs in a mess!

    I suspended my DirecTV account for 30 days while I was on vacation. When I returned, I found a nasty surprise waiting for me: 1) All of the DVR timers I had set on my HR44 and HR24 DVRs continued to run, recording blank content. And each title wasn't just a null placeholder on the disk...

    Channels I (Don't) Get

    As a former Dish customer, I miss my four custom favorites lists (My HR44 only supports 2). Even more irritating is the supplied list "Channels I Get", which is inaccurate. It includes channels I don't get. I'm not just talking about pay-per-view, but channels which aren't obvious that they...

    Ordering DirecTV - not for the faint of heart

    I'm a couple of months into my new DirecTV subscription, just got my $100 VISA gift card, and everything's running smoothly, but not after much anguish. At the onset, I had decided on a two DVR system for several reasons: - So I'd have a backup recording unit in case one went out. - To be...

    Sling Adaptor - known bugs with mobile device apps

    I couldn't find a thread which addressed software issues with the app / addon / plugins that are downloaded and run on computers / smart phones / mobile devices in supporting the Dish Sling Adapter. And since this Dish version of Sling seems to have it's own set of apps separate from Slingbox...

    Paying for unreturned equipment converts to legally owned

    I've cancelled my Dish account, and now I'm looking at the big empty box they've sent me for returning my Vip722DVR. Dish gave me a pass on climbing up to my 2nd story roofline and removing the LNB for return, so now it just comes down to this: If I keep the 722 receiver instead of returning...

    4 Rooms, 4 TVs, but only 2 viewers, on the cheap!

    Want DirecTV, but not Genie fee nor minis I'm considering switching to DirecTV. Would want a 2 room setup. From what I've read, I'd prefer to have a HD DVR in both rooms with MRV, but the DirecTV website makes that cost prohibitive. The introductory offer gives you a "Free" Genie upgrade from...

    Dish Live March Madness

    Anyone else having a problem with the Dish Live website? I can log in to Dish Live, I get a pop-up window that shows unlocked channels available for viewing, I click on "Watch Live", I get a progress bar (90% loaded, etc.) and when it gets to 100%, it hangs on a new message "Loading". Same...

    722 DVR no longer assigns tuner1 (HD), tuner2 (SD) by priority for simultaneous recordings

    I'm running a 722 DVR in dual mode. The title of this post says it all. I'm sure that when I used to have two shows recording at the same time, I could designate which one would record in high def (Tuner 1) by giving it's timer a higher priority. Sometimes if the schedule indicated the tuners...

    Cyclical remote dropout on Freq B

    I have a VIP722 DVR running in dual TV mode. I have 3 TV2s in various rooms of the house with a 6.3 IR / UHF remote for each. In experimenting with the best settings for the UHF remotes I discovered that in using the frequency B setting on the remotes, I'll get a 3 to 7 second dropout about...
