You could try Clonezilla. I have used it before, works well. Can backup to DVDs as well.

There were some rumors of a DISH PCI Tuner card floating around a long time ago. I would have loved to see that.

That was exactly what I was going to say. The Virtual Joey is just a renamed "Dish Anywhere" for smart TVs.

Not that much work, there are a lot of free/open source DLNA servers for Linux around (Mediatomb/Fuppes/Minidlna). Hopper is still linux, so would just be plugging the Hopper streams to the DLNA server, sure they could have a beta in a few weeks. Maybe navychop is right about it being all DRM...

I wish they added Roku/Apple TV as well. Why not save themselves time and resources and make the Hopper a DLNA server? That way any DLNA client (almost all smart tvs, tablets, consoles) could be virtual joeys. Sigh, so much potential...

Nothing special, just the new gigabit (actually 1.5gb max) wireless protocol (802.11ac). In theory should be the same as connecting joey to 802.11ac router (like any of these)

Well that is a problem with *pure* streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) with Dish it wont be a problem because AFAIK a tuner will be locked to each user. The only problem is that you could replace Joeys with Rokus but that would be horribly inefficient and picture quality wont be as good.

How long does it takes to show the delivery of the recevers back to Dish in 'My shipments'? They received one on 08/28/2013 and 09/05/2013 but still no update on 'My Shipments' page, both show as 'Not Received'. PS: The install of the new one worked perfectly, all settings were on the remote...

I'm worried that somewhere they will have 2 hoppers registered in my account, since now they think im replacing 2 bad leased hoppers. They cant change/cancel orders you understand why I dont trust their systems too much. Got it on 07/08/2012. Are the timers in the remote as well? Please let...

Ok, my hopper hard disk died so I used chat to get it replaced. First chat (Paraphrase) Me: My hopper hard disk died, need a replacement. CS: Yes well replace it Me: Can you replace for the new Hopper with Sling? I'll pay for the upgrade. CS: Lucky you, I can replace your bad hopper for...

Media servers, if license says "GPL, MIT or BSD" and price says "Free", Dish can use it. GPL they will have to release the changes they make, MIT/BSD they can do anything with it. In that list I see 17 free DLNA servers.

Make the Hopper a full,real "DLNA Server" (there are enough free implementations around) and forget about all the "Sling that is not really Sling" stuff. Software development kit (SDK) so we can make our own apps.

722 had a Sling adapter, Hopper had the same Sling adapter, Hopper 2 has the Sling software integrated. The Slingplayer software worked with the 722 + Slingadapter. Is not different technology, is the same (Sling), they were made incompatible on purpose to separate the Slingboxes from the...

Would it be possible to anyone in contact with Dish techs (Scott/DIRT) ask about adding support for the HDHomeRun to the Hopper? That could be easily integrated with the Hopper. Connect to the network, query device for tuners and channels, query for streams. It seems easier and more practical...

If you have a need for a programmer you should ask here, I'm sure there are some of us always lurking around. Maybe it might be possible to port it to another language instead of BASIC (barf!) like java,c#,...

What they should do is just skip the receivers completely, and make a switch/receiver combo with 4 tuners and just bring 1 cat5 cable from the roof (using POE to power it), plug that in the local network. Then all u need is the current joeys and a joey with a hard disk. I think a gigabit...

I love you.

Even nicer feature would be multiple select for delete show/folders. If it's available is not very intuitive because havent found the way to do it yet.

From what I understand the hopper just stores the "locals transponder stream" (is that correct) and then filters the 4 networks, right? If that's true why are only the 4 main networks available and not the other locals? Is it because of contracts? Is it because it just gets streams for those 4...

I just got this same problem, the daily schedule is full of "No info available", tons of conflicts and garbage schedules (things i havent set up). Im worried my real timers wont work. How do I set the tuners on standby?

I think this one is possible, AFAIK when you create a timer you can tell it to save in a given folder. Wouldn't setting the folder to MOVIES in the timer do this for you?

Hahaha, yes we should burn in hell for creating that .... but still not as bad as bachata... :)

If you have PTAT disabled, remove it from the DVR area (remove the icon and the option in the list), if you have no rentals, remove 'My Rentals' from the list.

Sweet, ill try that. Don't remember doing that with the 722. Of course my memory is terrible...

I don't remember SD channels being stretched in my 722, I think they showed the black bars at the sides. In the hopper they are stretched. I've looked around but see no way of changing that setting. Is there a way to do it or do I have to look at squished people all the time?
