    Are my eyes deceiving me? BOS - Blue Screen of Start!

    I was a little taken aback when I restarted my Hopper this morning. I am unsure how long this has been this way (H372), but I was used to seeing two black Hopper 3 Starting up screens one after the other. This morning, I had to look twice, as the first screen was a very nice, pleasing Blue while...

    Purchased Joey 4 - Dish Charges

    If I bought a Joey 4 on Ebay, just for grins so I can watch some shows in our enclosed porch every once in a while, is the $5.00/month charge a rental charge or a usage/broadcast charge? In other words, will they still stick me for $5 even if the Joey X (3 or 4) is owned by me? Thanks. I...

    Legit or a phishing scam?

    I just got the following. The url points to a pstmrk.it domain but with a userinterview tag. Just curious if anyone else got this. The first thing that caught my eye was that it came under an email that Dish doesn't have as my main email address. Smells like a phishing scam.

    Anyone watch the first three episodes of Endgame? It's sort of like the Blacklist on steroids. I like it so far.

    Quantum Leap Coming Back!

    The plot has already been shot and it looks like Scott Bakula may be coming back. I wonder, with the years passing, and if Bakula is actually coming back and older, it would be interesting to show that he's been leaping for the past 30 years. Also to see how they handle the passing of Dean...

    New Amazon show in production - Fallout

    Just saw this on my news feed. Might be interesting. Instead of being book based it's based on a game. I wonder where they will go with it. At least Amazon isn't afraid of taking a chance. https://www.engadget.com/fallout-moving-forward-as-a-tv-series-on-amazon-prime-092535878.html

    Does anyone know if Sirius adds a Holidays channel to the sat feed?

    I see that they have a Holidays channel online only. We've only had XM for the past few months on our new cars. Wife really like Christmas music during the holidays. Does XM add a live channel on their sat feed on the holidays or only online?

    Did anyone get one of these emails or is it a scam?

    I got the email (below) a couple of days ago. It looks like Dish is apologizing for the lack of Sports programming and offering to give the following sports packs for free for the next six months. This raised a few eyebrows: The email obviously spells my wife's name wrong with capital...

    Hopper startup screen

    Is it just a Christmas thing, and if it is, it's a big much putting it into the firmware when there are so many other bugs to work out, or has anyone noticed that the Hopper 3 startup screen on U939 is now Green with Black and Red'ish letters? It looks a lot better, don't get me wrong, than...

    AirTV OTA Dual Tuner - AirTV Site Down?

    Well, After not being able to record something while watching something else, or watching something else on one of my Joey's, I decided to bite the bullet and get the AirTV Dual Tuner. Went to the AirTV site, got past the add to cart option, but when it goes to shipping options for the past 3...

    ATSC 3.0 off-air support

    Just a couple of days ago, one of my local channels started putting banners up that on December 10 it was switching to the ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard. It is replacing the current frequency with the ATSC 3.0 signal. But it will be still transmitting ATSC 1.0 on another, not sure if it will be...

    Sound and picture lag on Joey's - MOCA vs. Ethernet.

    We have the Hopper in the Family room and my wife has her TV in the Kitchen which I can hear. With MOCA there is a noticeable lag (about a second) between the Hopper and Joey picture and sound. Enough to really be irksome. Before I run an Ethernet cable to the Joey, has anyone tried...

    Full 8 TB now available on external EHD's

    Well, I don't know what they changed, but last week my Hopper started to recognize my 6TB EHD and my 2TB EHD for a full 8TB! The trick I found out is to get a USB3 hub and make sure the larger one is the first in the chain. If it doesn't see the 6TB one first it won't see the 2TB. So I'm...

    Wait time to transfer to EHD

    As people are talking about waiting some times between a recording and when it receives Auto-hop status, I've also noticed that some shows allow you to transfer them to your EHD almost immediately while others can take a week or longer before the DVR->Option->Manage Recordings will show the...

    Can someone post the steps to upgrade to 6TB EHD?

    I have a couple Linux machines and would rather not upgrade to my new 6TB drive by taking 3 months to copy all my 1000's of recorded programs to the Hopper and then to the new drive. I've seen posts that detail some steps on how to connect the 2 drive to a Linux machine and do copies of...

    Has anyone got Amazon Prime working on their Joey's?

    I've tried for weeks calling into Dish Support. Some say that Prime should work on the new Joey 3's, others say it's not supported, which is weird as the Joey just receives a stream from the Hopper 3. I can get Amazon Prime fine on the Hopper, but I can only see Netflix on my Joey's. I have...
