    Recommendation to Dish - Dump Hopper+ and Rembrace Virtual Joey

    The old Sling/DA did exactly that when you were on the same local network. Back then, when I watched something using DA from one of my devices (PC, phone, or tablet), my 722K with the Sling adapter would send the stream directly to my PC without going out the Internet and back in after all the...

    Anything new in H367?

    clearly not fixed in this release and I can also confirm that the blackouts happen with or without a Joey 3 being on.

    Anything new in H367?

    I guess it's just you and me :cool: ! I just noticed that my Hopper 3 was updated to H367overnight. Haven't seen a blackout yet but I've only had the TV on for 30 minutes. If I do see a blackout, I will check to see if my wife is also watching on one of the Joeys.

    Anything new in H367?

    That's interesting, I hadn't considered that. I have two Joey 3's, but since it's just me and my wife while my kids are away at school, only one of them is used at a time, but not always when I am on the Hopper. I will have to try and determine if one of the Joeys is being used when I get...

    Anything new in H367?

    That sucks, why can't they fix that, it's very annoying! I am still on h366 and was hoping the next release might resolve it. Does Dish even know this is a problem? It acts like a HDMI handshake problem.

    H366 is out

    I have the same issue and it hasn't been fixed in 366.

    Dish's email notification system has a few bugs

    My three month discount started last month and expires in January!

    Showtime Anytime going away

    With all the other premium movie channels, you still get streaming access. Showtime's content and the ability to stream (even with the higher quality video and audio) is simply not compelling enough to pay almost triple to what I subscribe with Dish. I still renew the $5 discount every three...

    Showtime Anytime going away

    Showtime Anytime is going away next month. Does that mean we won't be able to stream Showtime movies and series using our Dish credentials like we can now? The Showtime App and website don't provide that ability.

    H365 has arrived

    My Hopper has not updated yet, but I am curious if H365 actually fixes any of the problems introduced with H364? In particular, the very annoying 1 to 2 second screen blackouts that randomly happens.

    H364 is here

    The other thing my wife has noticed watching recorded shows on a Joey 3 connected to our Hopper 3, when she skips forward through commercials, it will sometimes jump back to the beginning of the recording. My Hopper was only installed back in the summer and was on a much older release for a long...

    H364 is here

    I see the same thing. Out of nowhere, the screen will go black for a second or two and may happen several times withing a minute and then not again for a while. Very annoying! It's almost like there is an HDMI video issue? Oh, and this happens on live as well as recordings.

    Any tips on how to fill an EHDD on the Hopper 3 to maximum capacity?

    I lived and breathed disk drives for almost 10 years at NetApp and my team did all the software support for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). I can say from all the performance testing we did, that there is no penalty for encryption. First, it's done with hardware, not software. Secondly, what...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    That's a poor excuse. I am not talking about a 200 page book and I am not talking about all the permutations of equipment. But the User Interface needs to be well documented. The online documentation's organization is actually pretty good, but the actual information is minimal to non-existent...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    Thanks! I will give that a try. Why can't Dish add that to its "How To" directions!! As a former software development director, a project was never considered complete unless the appropriate documentation was also updated. It's not that hard, it just needs to be part of the development and QA...

    How do you remove recordings from a folder?

    The other day when I was experimenting with folders, I could not find any way to move recordings out of the folder, except to move them to an EHD. Dish's online documentation describes how to create and move recordings into a folder but that all. There is no provision for the reverse.

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    I feel sorry for them!

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    On the left, the manual that came with my 722, on the right, what came with my Hopper. 130 pages vs. 27! And the stuff Dish has online for the Hopper is woefully inadequate.

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    Thank You, thank you, thank you!! This was not obvious or intuitive. I assumed it would work like multiple recordings of a TV show. You select the show and the next screen is a list of recorded episodes. It didn't occur to me to check the tabs up above. This is the kind of stuff that should be...

    Any tips on how to fill an EHDD on the Hopper 3 to maximum capacity?

    I would not wait until the EHD so full that you can't transfer any more. I used to be a software engineering manager at NetApp, an enterprise network storage vendor, and my group was specifically responsible for all the low level disk driver support in NetApp's OS. In my experience, most file...

    File transfer benchmarks / advice

    I wish I could get in touch with this VP because I just found what I consider to be a very serious problem with the Hopper and its DVR capability. It does not deal correctly with movie recordings with the same name but are different versions. For example, I have all three versions of Carrie...

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    I have confirmed that folders cannot be moved to an EHD. You can only move the recordings within the folder to an EHD. The stupid thing with Folders, is there doesn't seem to be any way to move recordings out of the folder once inside. Maybe deleting the folder would work, but I didn't want...

    Backing up HD on Dish 722 to EHD

    After many, many years on a VIP 722K (and two VIP 612s), I upgraded to a Hopper 3 (with two Joey 3s) a couple of months ago. I went through a very long ordeal moving all of my 722 recordings from an almost full 2TB EHD (over 450 movies) to the Hopper and onto another larger EHD. You can read...

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    I also found another post about folders where someone said you can't move folders from the Hopper to an EHD. Is this true? If so, then folders are useless. I also tried moving one of the recording tiles that in theory contains two movies of the same name (King Kong) from my EHD to the Hopper...

    Hopper 3, how in the world can I view/manage recorded movies with the same name?

    The 722 automatically created a folder if you recorded more than one movie with exactly the same name. The Hopper appears to do that at first glance, the tile has a number in the bottom right corner indicating the number of recordings, but selecting it does not show you all those recordings.
