    New Recordings showing "100% watched" after latest update?

    A unintended feature that as usual won't work.

    Deleting Hopper EHD items.

    I've had my Hopper about a year and a half with a 2T EHD attached. For too long I transferred too much junk into it and now want to delete + 1Ts worth. At this point there is no easy way to do this as it looks I have to watch an item and delete it and start the whole watch EHD process. Am I...

    Hopper 2K S425

    Looking a bit closer the wrong recordings were on the same channel just a different time slot and in at least one case was not a program ever selected. in another case on channel 242 wanting to record Black Gold it recorded the Detroit Pawn show completely but named it Black Gold with 1 minute...

    Hopper 2K S425

    With my 2 hoppers updated to 425 thinks seem better. Now the big but, with both of them several preselected programs that were recorded showed only 1 minute of recording time as shown on info, but actually had another channels full program on it instead of the one wanted. In other words if...

    How to get around not having a EHD.

    I have 2 of these, one for each Hopper and they work fine, would work better if Dish enabled the Sata in/out port. You still need a hard drive for storage.

    PROGRAM BUGS OR…

    Design bugs. What is going on? If my Hopper unit ran like it does now back in Oct when I got it it would have been out the door in less than a week and now I’m thinking of going back (shutter) to cable! As I’ve read this forum about so many problems people have I thought I’m lucky that hasn’t...

    Hopper external hard drive

    I’m in the same situation and sadly the answer is NO. Personally I’d prefer to have the so called features work properly before introducing new features with new problems. JMHO

    USING 2 EHDs

    It's my bad. I assume too much, partly because I'm used too and right now I'm copying Approximately 5T of MP4s and MP3s from different HDs on my desk computer for BU reasons. In the last few years HDs have given me much insecurity and labor pains as they at times are less than reliable when...

    USING 2 EHDs

    Thanks for the explanation, though I don’t like it. Like many things I didn’t read the fine print composed by attorneys that seem to give a feature then take part or all or part of it back. Marketing at its finest! No wonder I’m so cynical.

    USING 2 EHDs

    Again someone not reading/understanding what’s printed. It’s not only the EHD functioning that’s flaky, it’s the Hopper itself that’s often flaky. Read all the posts! And the one following mine from ODBVR. Most people wouldn’t know what a EHD looks like never mind how to use one, I’ve seen...

    USING 2 EHDs

    Come to think of it YES!!! Important to who, them cashing their check or me who pays for a service which is certainly lacking if you read any of the posts on this site. Some may call these bugs inconvenient but I call many a PIA which may take forever to address. Do you think that if the Hopper...

    I'm in your age bracket and identify with a lot you posted. Nowadays though how often is a call important?

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    S230 was installed at 9:37 Am yesterday morning. Shook me for a couple moments when the opening screen was that wild pink color. I lost a number of movies but when rebooted they showed up with different "cover pics" but work fine.

    EHD

    I thought I said that, my poor glasses. I've had my share of problems with WD 2T BLACK drives. Seem good now.

    EHD

    My definition of YET= your eligible too! I have 2 Hoppers along with a External Hard Drive SATA Enclosure Docking Station 2.5” & 3.5” USB 2.0 & eSATA attached to each Hopper. All I do is move only the 2T drive between them. Takes about 2 seconds and the drive is installed with no hassle...

    USING 2 EHDs

    Thanks John. I find it more than interesting that so many things I would expect to work are so nonfunctioning or Inconvenient.

    USING 2 EHDs

    Thanks for the response, talk about a PITA! Would this endanger the recording like just going fron HD to Hopper?

    USING 2 EHDs

    Usage is my problem as both will appear under the LR1 and LR window as well will EHD2 & EHD. The problem arises when I try to the transfer operation between the 2 EHDs I can choose one EHD in the 1st block and immediately the 2nd block changes and only permits transfer into the Hopper as opposed...

    Irritating !

    I keep my EHD off unless I'm using it so I'm wondering what is happening to it in this time period if it is on? Mine has a off/on switch so is easy, U can also pull the plug?

    Hopper freeze

    Mine is always just low warm so I vote for B.

    Not all shows available for transfer

    Is this an extra cost feature? And is it worth it?

    hopper transfer to external drive problem

    It’s interesting that after writing the above I transferred a number of video recordings at a much faster rate, about 4-6 minutes each, 4-6 at a time. The only thing I did since the last transfer a couple days ago was to pull the power cord and reboot to try to overcome a couple things not...

    hopper transfer to external drive problem

    Except for a few “corrupted file” messages this operation works well for me. I assume the HD was formatted by the Hopper. I 1st go to menu and then on the 3rd line open the last box, make the choices and then save. Then it goes to my recordings and I click a couple of what I want to transfer to...

    Hopper's Closed Captioning slow to sync

    I received my new Hopper last week and am experiencing most of the above AND other issues. With some of the issues I’ve had I don’t think the Hopper is ready for prime time yet. I realize I have a learning curve and am ignorant to a lot but my 10 YO Tivo behaves like a star compared to this...
