Been there. Done that. Bad experiences. So what if they notice that the seal was broken! I would be doing them and us a favor.

We're getting more frequent HD failure messages on one of our old, rented HWSs, so it's decision time. H3 is a reasonable option, but it's not the best time for us. I know that it's easy to replace the HD, what would be the fallout if I did it myself on a rented HWS? I could save the old one...

I wonder how many hundred threads have been started over the years on this subject. Yet I've never seen a "solution" other than reset _____, pull the plug, or put it in sleep mode. Why should any of those trial and error actions be considered "solutions?" It's ridiculous that that for a...

Thanks, crodrules. I had been thinking something similar but not as long range yet. I was hoping that the tech could position the 1000.2 and 500 to catch all three on the eastern arc. Pretty sure that can be done. Upgrading to a Hopper 3 has been on my mind, since we have a 4K set. However...

Really!?? I'll have to check out that configuration to see whether we would be missing something important with the current assignments. Our locals, including SD, are on only 61.5 and 110. HOWEVER, what's to keep the dish heads from moving the locals or other channels to 77?

Thanks, but (1) I'm ignorant on this hardware stuff, and (2) we don't own the equipment. All I know from the diagnostics page is that we have a duo node with a DPP1K.2 switch, and from looking at the dishes the one pointing at 72.7 is a 500 (don't see a + anywhere), and the one pointing at 110...

Sorry. I should have mentioned that we have two HWS and one old Joey. None of our locals are on 77 or 129. I don't know about the hopper confusion issue, but based upon past history, the four orbitals proposed would theoretically work. I'm just worried that yet another nonstandard...

I need some insight into how Dish assigns channels to it's satellite orbitals and what the future should look like. For almost a year we've seen HD channels dropping off of our program guide due to uplink changes, and I didn't have time to analyze the potential solutions until now. In over...

Nice! What USB3 switch are you using?

Scott, is the 2.0 Joey different from the Super Joey? I assumed so and called DISH tech support to inquire about availability/cost. Initially he said that there are only the original Joey and the Super Joey. He also said that switching to a Super Joey would not improve its response. (When I...

Sorry. I was looking at the HopperGo pictures in the first post. I realize now that what's labeled INPUT looks like a micro-USB jack. The scale and shape are clearly not HDMI. What's labeled OUTPUT is a USB jack. Is the micro jack for the USB 3.0 signal coming from the Hopper and the USB...

Wh What's the HDMI connection for? Thanks Scott for the great reporting!

With 2 HWS and 2 Joeys I hate to watch anything on a TV attached to a Joey. The Joey response to its remote is so slow that it's a real pain skipping commercials. Unless there's a Joey improvement I haven't seen here, switching to 1 H3 and 3 Joeys doesn't seem like an improvement, even with...

Those are the same symptoms I had with a replacement HWS. It worked OK for 16 days and began to stutter, pixelate, and freeze, sometimes to the point where I had to pull the power cord. No problems with live TV, unless I tried to skip backwards or forwards. I requested a second replacement...

At this point, I would be happy if they would just monitor the S.M.A.R.T. parameters and warn us when the drive shows signs of failure. One week into replacement unit #2 and counting!

I hope you get a new one. I just activated the second replacement HWS since the original post on 5/15. The first replacement was a remanufactured unit with a Seagate HD. It worked OK for 16 days and began failing with a different HD failure (error 311). This one didn't require "reformatting"...

Returning to my original post, I'm still convinced that my HD failure had nothing to do with how full it was! I can only speculate on an answer to your question, but you could try something like the following. In general (PC or DVR), hard drive failures occur gradually. It's not unusual for...

Saw a hard drive failure error message (970?) this evening when I turned on the TV. It's the one that says "Your timers have been saved but any recordings have been lost..." and telling me to select OK to reformat the hard drive. It wasn't exactly a surprise, since the box acted flaky a couple...

Surely these questions have been asked and answered before in The Hopper Zone, but I can't find any relevant threads. Like others we have a rental HWS that is starting to act like it has a failing hard drive. These questions are driven by my need to prepare for that situation. 1. Do any of the...

Thanks. Hope so, cause that appears to be the only option so far.

Argh. Unless you know of another way to set a manual timer, I can't set one for 404. From the DVR-Timers-Manual Timer window, Select Channel only shows channels in the program guide for selection. I even changed my program guide to All Channels, but 404 isn't available on that list either...

Why isn't channel 404 showing up on my HWS programming guide? Would that be because the latest satellite lineup shows it as "Not Available" on the 119 and 72.7 birds? We have AT250, but a TSR just told me that it won't show up until the 6PM EDT start time this evening. Then he told me we need...

Are we THERE yet???? I gotta peeeeeee!http://www.satelliteguys.us/images/smilies/wink.gif

Thanks David. I was afraid of that. You're right - not many 64GB Android tablets out there.

Memory Extension Devices There are a number of memory extension devices out there that connect to IOS and Android devices via wifi. They're basically small wifi file servers. Some ( like the RAVPower FileHub Wireless SD Card Reader) accept SD cards, making the memory very flexible, and others...
