    Hopper Back to 1AM Reboot (without warning)?

    Guess it's midnight CDT. PITA. What a stupid design. I seldom watch this late but a game went late tonight. At least post a warning with an option to delay once or twice.

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    I'll be ready with a camera tonight at 10pm. So far this tuner confusion has only happened twice and both times were exactly at 10pm. I read the paragraph over and over last night and the implication was that I needed to decide between continuing to watch CNN "or" let CNBC record. I ended...

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Well, a related tuner mystery just occurred. Tuners 1 & 2 idle, 3-5 recording, 6 doing PTA. Watching CNN I get a popup. Essentially it asks if I want to allow a scheduled program to record and STOP watching CNN or not record the scheduled program. This with only 6 tuners listed and only 3 in...

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Ok. Now it shows 1-5 with PTA on 6. It's a bit inconsistent because earlier 3 of the 1-7 were shown as "available". Now 1 of the 5 shows "available", one has no status, and the others are recording. I guess after being "available" for a while if you don't use them they hibernate :-)

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Wait a minute. When I look at TV Activity right now it says 5 of 16 in use. Below that, I scroll to see tuners 1-7 and below that I see tuner 8 doing PTA. Should I be seeing tuners 1-15 at the top and PTA on tuner 16???

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Yes. Sounds like it could have been a glitch with someone else also experiencing it. Next time I'll get pictures. Almost like there's still some logic deep in the Hopper code that still thinks there's only 8 tuners.

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Yeah. Should have taken a pic of the screen. But it essentially was telling me all tuners were busy. Then looking at status at the top of that screen it said 8 of 16. I think the original Hopper did 8? Thought maybe I needed to do something else to enable the other tuners. I'll try a...

    Hopper 3 - all tuners in use? 8 of 16?

    Really never expected to see that message. It only lasted for a few minutes - 3 to be precise. At 10pm I was doing something - switching channels? - when the message appeared. Possibly I was trying to record another channel via the guide - I can't remember for certain. I quickly looked at...

    Got the 722 7 years ago - interested in the Hopper 3 upgrade.

    MLB Strike Zone channel a joke?

    Thanks for the explanation! Had not made the connection that SZ was a substitute for MLB when they were carrying a full game. Should have just called it MLB2 :-)

    MLB Strike Zone channel a joke?

    Looks like that requires an MLB Extra Innings subscription which I could also get with Dish.

    MLB Strike Zone channel a joke?

    Anyone know what the broadcast rules/goals are for this channel? I guess I've been spoiled by Red Zone where they have a hard fast cut off time for the broadcast, explain it when it might apply, but seldom ever have to make use of it. As a result, 99.99% of the time you get to see every game...

    Dish says I have low signal strength...

    Don't know how quick it's updated, probably minutes if not seconds, but the online account displays plenty of detail about the scheduled call. Plus I got an email and robocall that prompted me to confirm the appointment. So it's very easy to validate the original call. Agreed, the online...

    Dish says I have low signal strength...

    My turn. I'd seen these threads before, so I wasn't caught off guard when I got the same call today. Have had ZERO issues with reception for years. Makes no sense why they would give me a courtesy call for free when they could just wait till I have a problem and reap the rewards in service...

    Scheduled recordings of FOX Sports SW

    Ok, found it. But you can't specify it when you "set up" the timer. Only after it's been set. So, a clumsy workaround. Until Dish can fix this, how about adding an option to specify a delayed start time. Really sucks to record an entire game and find nothing there the next day when I want...

    Scheduled recordings of FOX Sports SW

    Ok, this doesn't happen every time, but it has about 5 or 6 of the last dozen attempts and the last two happened on Mon/Tue. So there's the music playing and still image when the channel is not being used. Let's use 416 as an example. So I schedule a recording from the guide to record a...

    OTA signal always lost when Satellite signal is lost

    This has bugged me for quite some time. I've not tried Menu/Guide but have tried bringing up the guide directly to no avail. Once in a while the guide will appear at which time I can chose the OTA channel and continue. Part of the 722 code must be old school in that if the satellite signal is...

    Another possible dispute? : Dish v. Belo

    As far as I'm concerned, they can drop all the locals. I record them OTA anyway - rain or shine.

    NFL Redzone cut off in overtime

    No problem, just voting with my wallet and dropping RedZone - not Dish as a whole. The NFL could care less what I think, Dish is probably paying them a fixed fee. They need to tweak their jingle though - see every touchdown from every game...provided it occurs before 8PM ET :D As someone...

    NFL Redzone cut off in overtime

    Found this in a Wiki... "Due to decreasing ticket sales, the league significantly softened its blackout policy in 2009. Though the traditional blackout rules still apply, the league is using some of its new media features to provide access to blacked-out games. For instance, the league will not...

    NFL Redzone cut off in overtime

    I did rewind a bit to see if he made an announcement but didn't find one. Glad they at least made the announcement. It will be interesting to see if a situation comes up where late game(s) are still being played and they have to pull the plug with some not being able to see the outcome -...

    NFL Redzone cut off in overtime

    True, but a little warning might have been helpful. I'm waiting to hear an explanation next Sunday before things get started. Did Dish cut the feed automatically? How long did the RedZone team stick around before they realized they were off the air? Maybe Dish was the only feed to get...
