    Hopper w/Sling not playing back DVR recordings? Help please.

    That seems to have fixed it, thanks! Now if I can get it to see my EHD. Upgraded last month and moved the EHD from my old hopper to the H3 but it will not see it.

    Hopper w/Sling not playing back DVR recordings? Help please.

    Have play back issues with the Hopper 3. Black screen except for a progress bar that progresses very fast, like skipping forward.

    And the "significant other" thinks?

    Have not upgraded yet but my wife is siting at the other computer across the room and when I told her that a thread like this one existed she just gave me that look.

    Hopper 3 Upgrade

    I currently have two hoppers and three wired Joeys. Called to upgrade to H3 and 3 wireless Joeys and was told that the H3 does not support the wireless Joeys. Offered me HWS 1 wired Super Joey and 2 wireless Joeys for the total installed cost of $50.00. Not what I wanted. Went to online...

    EHD from 622

    I have an EHD from a 622 receiver attached to one of my Hoppers and the date of the recording is 100 years off, 2106 when it should be 2006 etc. I guess this is just an artifact from the 622, anyone else seeing this?

    Hopper Software Update Coming along with Pandora!

    So when the update happens that allows sharing between hoppers then could the whole 2TB on one hopper (for people who have 2 hoppers) be given to the users? That would leave 500GB for Dish, 500GB for PTAT and 3TB for user recording between the two hoppers. PTAT and the Dish PPV could reside on...

    Need help on what to get to connect Hopper to internet

    I also have the WiFi BB Connector connected to a Hopper. Is there a way to test the download speed that the Hopper is getting? My internet connection is 30Mbps and the wireless is rated at 54Mbps.

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    Thanks for the suggestions. I like the Hopper, it's the receiver I have been waiting for from Dish. I get HD on all five tvs and whole home DVR with plenty (6) of tuners, I have two Hoppers and 3 Joeys. I jumped on it as soon as it was available, the installer said that it was only the second...

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    It's a small issue but it's the small things that seperate good from great. You ever have many people at football party with several tvs being watched? Not being in sync then you may hear load cheers from another room a second or two before you see the play. It's a small thing but it's all...

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    I didn't ask the question because I want synchronized watching in adjacent rooms I just happen to notice that they were out of sync because I can see a tv in an adjacent room. It's just not a sign of a well polished product, they should be in sync.

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    True, but that may increase the size and cost of the Joey and it's too late for the installed base. The delay would just be a software change.

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    So the fix is easy, delay the Hopper while the encoding is taking place. This puts them in snyc and the Hopper /Joey become a better product.

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    Thanks, that answer makes since. These are the little things that make the difference between a good product and a great product. The other issue that can cause is the pause in one room to continue in another room will also be out of sync. This would affect many more people.

    Hopper & Joey out of sync

    I have a Hopper in the den and a joey in the kitchen in a place where it can be seen from the den while watching the Hopper. I have noticed that when watching the same channel and even the same tuner that the Joey is about 2 seconds behind the Hopper. Is this normal? Can it be adjusted? Nether...

    Sorry, but I can only see H/J failure in the future...

    Only 10% have 2 HD (or more) TVs? wow. I have 5 and have been waiting for a solution that would get HD feed to all so that one feature sold me on the Hopper - 2 Hopper / 3 Joey system was installed Saturday. This system is way better than the 622s I had, no way I see it failing. The 922 was...

    1 Hopper 4 joey system

    2 hopper / 3 joeys is what I need for the 5 tvs. It's that the increase is $8 / month for either the 1 hopper / 3 joey system or the 2 hopper / 3 joey system. That doesn't sound right. The install is free because I do have the protection plan. I will call them and order, be wanting to get...

    1 Hopper 4 joey system

    I guess I better call - no telling what would get ordered using the chat. Eva (ID: A95): Hi, my name is Eva (ID: A95). How may I help you? Jude Robert: Eva, I was just quoted $200 for a 1 hopper / 4 joey system. Could this be correct? I thought that there was a 3 joey limit per hopper...

    1 Hopper 4 joey system

    I will contact them again, a 4 joey system would work great for me.

    1 Hopper 4 joey system

    There must have been a change in how many joeys Dish will install with one Hopper. I was just quoted $200 to upgrade to 1 hopper / 4 joeys. I thought that the limit was 3 joeys per Hopper.

    Questions about The Hopper?

    All configurations I have seen have a max of three Joeys. For me a forth joey would cover all 5 tvs, having three tuners is not a big issue as long as joeys can share view a tuner. Are they not going to allow more that three per hopper?

    DISH Network Retailer Chat Recap - "Hopper Special" - 2/16/2012

    Ok, trying to figure all the out. I have 2 622s with 4 tvs attached. I also have a projector room with no tv feed, just DVD and BD. I would like to get all five in HD. So can I get 1 hopper with 4 joeys? I know there are only 3 tuners but there are only 3 people living in the house plus the...

    Is it possible to trim a recording?

    Too bad. I also would like to trim some of my recording. I don't need any fancy editing just want to chop off x minutes from the beginning and y minutes from the end.
