I moved to the Hopper3 w/ Sling from a VIP722. I do not recall any audio problems other than the occasional loss of sync with the older DVR. When the H3 dropouts get really annoying, I switch the AVR to stereo (which switches off Dolby decoding) and live with 2-channel sound. I wonder if...

Thanks, HipKat. That's the way I have them set. The phenomenon is intermittent. For example, I did not notice it on any shows I watched tonight. It appears most often on CBS, although I have noted it on other networks also.

Thanks for the sarcasm, boba. I guess I should ask my question more succinctly. Is anyone else experiencing this problem with a Hopper3 and is it new with the latest firmware? I'm running U503.

I have a Hopper3 with Sling and recently I noticed an odd phenomenon. When viewing a recorded channel with Dolby surround sound, the center channel will intermittently drop out for anywhere from a fraction of a second to several seconds. If I rewind and replay the scene, the sound is there. Left...

Thanks for the offer TG2. Let me know when you are on the left coast. I know all about tech support as I was a product manager for a medical imaging company and as a side task, I provided tech support for the more complex problems. I would not get off the phone until I heard "Aha!&quot...

If someone technical from Dish or Sling wants to link to my computer via a program like "Go to My PC", I am perfectly willing to have them do so to find what may be a problem. So far, my experience with Dish tech support is fairly negative. Once they have gone through the script telling you to...

I went back several pages and did not see comments or suggestions from any of them. It would be nice if there were a set of diagnostics to run through to isolate the problem of hardly ever connecting on a local network. Someone from Sling could possibly provide same. Without this, we are...

Does anyone from Dish or Sling monitor this forum or are we just complaining among ourselves?

I have exactly the same problem as Tony, so I doubt that it's the computer. I think the hardware is fine. I have requested that someone technical from Sling take a look at this forum and make some suggestions, but ..... I tried something new and got interesting results. Previously, my PC...

I tried a little experiment today. I disconnected the wireless connection to my computer and hard-wired it to my router. My 722/sling adapter is already hard-wired. I even turned off all virus protection and the firewall. I still get the dreaded error 36 (dishonline) or error 2 (remote...

Dish Tech Support? I sent an email to Dish Tech Support asking that someone technically astute from Sling take a look at this forum and respond to our problem. I got a nice automated response telling me to unplug my receiver to reset it and all my error 36 problems would go away. Instead, I...

I just had an AHA! moment and thought I would throw it out to this forum to confirm or shoot it down. There are two ways a wireless network can be set up - ad-hoc mode in which wireless devices can communicate with each other directly and infrastructure mode in which wireless devices...

My router has many options that can be turned on and off. Before this annoyance, I had left all options at their default. All I did was invoke WPA2 security and all my network devices have worked fine. Since I got the Sling Adapter, I have tried cycling several options, including turning the...

I got my "one connection per day" already today. I tried turning off UPnP. No luck.

It's still impossible to figure out why it works intermittently. I downloaded and installed Firefox 5 along with the new SlingPlayer because chibi had success with this browser. Lo and behold, it connected immediately--but only once. Logging out and logging back in resulted in error 36 yet...

After rereading this thread, it appears to me that (a) we all have essentially the same problem - error 36 when trying to sling to a local PC, but works OK when the PC is on a different network - and (b) no one really knows whether this sling adapter/local PC link is supposed to occur with or...

Yes, this is exactly the way mine works, also. However, I have never seen streaming speeds over ~2kbps. My Wireless LAN is running at 300Mbps and my cable modem gives me >10Mbps down but only 1Mbps up. It seems like I have never connected locally - only over the web.

Mr I have the same problem -- error 36 or error 2 most of the time I try to connect on Remote Access or Dish Online. I have a very simple network consisting of a VIP722 (with Sling Adapter) hard wired to the router (Engenius ESR7750) and a PC connected wirelessly. I have 10 or more Mbps down...
