    Hopper 3 U543 released

    I posted this early November: "I'm a year into my Directv contract so it's time to consider switching back to Dish. My biggest problem with the Hopper 3 was how it maintained the view history of recorded content. With Directv when you switch off of recorded content either by switching to another...

    Hopper 3 Update

    Is there some email address for Dish that I can send to where they can confirm this issue has been solved? If I call, I'm sure they will say anything to get me to sign up. I'd rather have an email confirmation.

    Hopper 3 Update

    Like I said, this should be a very easy fix. It works perfectly on Directv. It's a bigger issue for me since I bounce around all over the place and turn off the TV in the middle of watching something often. I asked about this here before switching to Directv and was told I needed to hit some...

    Hopper 3 Update

    I'm a year into my Directv contract so it's time to consider switching back to Dish. My biggest problem with the Hopper 3 was how it maintained the view history of recorded content.

    Retention offer.

    Is there a better time of day and or day of the week to try and get the best deal? I'm looking to switch back from Dish. I have the email to get a $300 Visa card so far.

    Made the Switch ...

    Another issue I noticed. I have a 5 day a week live news show I record. Last night when the live show came on it was not recorded. When I looked at scheduling the show was grayed and lined out and gave the reason that it was either already recorded or would be recording later.

    That's more buttons to push when there is plenty room on the specific show listings page to add a delete all button.

    I tried hitting the pause button before switching and it didn't work. When I went back I had to start from the beginning.

    I'd rather not have to unnecessarily hit the pause button twice when the bottom of the screen can easily display the timeline when I hit the skip button. My time is valuable. :)

    Made the Switch ...

    ... from DTV to DISH. Overall I'm happier with DISH but there is something that is very annoying to me. With DTV anytime I exit a recording the DVR marks the exact point I stopped watching after switching to live or another recording. With the H3 it keeps on trucking after I switch. I did figure...

    DirecTV to Dish?

    Great because I want the wired version.

    DirecTV to Dish?

    I'm at the end of my DTV contract. I tried to stay by getting a Genie 2 and 5 4K wired mini Genies. The installer showed up with 5 wireless mini Genies and let me know that I had to have 5 4K TVs to get 5 4K mini Genies. I only have one 4K TV but plan on getting more within my 2-year commitment...

    Arghhh, I am so frustrated with the H3 timers situation

    My Directv contract is up and I really want to switch to Dish but this problem would annoy the hell out of me.

    Stick with Directv?

    I ended up sticking with Directv with a 1 year contract at $50 off/month. When a new receiver comes out I will decide if I want to do a 2 year contract to get the new equipment.

    Stick with Directv?

    Is the HR54 faster than the HR44? Any other benefits?

    Stick with Directv?

    I have 1 4K TV and plan on more before the end of a new contract. I checked I have a HR44.

    Stick with Directv?

    My 2 year contract is up. Time to decide what next. I think I have a second generation Genie that doesn't do 4K. I also have several of the older generation DVRs. If I stick with Directv what equipment upgrade if any should I ask for? Is something new coming out to compete with the Hopper 3?

    Advice request - new setup

    Is there a rule of thumb on how many you can expect to get?

    Checking out DISH again

    My Directv contract is up next month and I wasn't too happy when they jacked up my rates 1/2 way through my contract. Now I'm looking at my options. I was an unwitting Hopper beta tester when it first came out over 4 years ago. It was very flaky. I could only set to record 30 different programs...

    Dropping out of the Hopper Beta Program

    Went great. I'm in hog heaven. Having 5 tuners eliminates conflicts. Now I'm back to whole shows being recorded. Before with Dish the end of non-Prime Time recorded shows got chopped off. I still have the same occasional slow remote response but I can tolerate that.

    Dropping out of the Hopper Beta Program

    Now that I'm back with the good guys, is there a way to increase the seconds to 10 for the backup button? 10 seconds worked better for me when I had Dish. Now sometimes I have to press it 4 or 5 times to get back to the start of show after a commercial.

    Programs Cut Short

    Multiple programs tonight were cut short again. I don't ever recall having this issue with Directv. The only scheduling issue I had with them was I couldn't get the receiver to stop recording an extra minute of The Bachelor, resulting in one less tuner to record in the next time period. This is...

    Dropping out of the Hopper Beta Program

    I've had enough of the Hopper beta program. I'm looking at returning to Directv. I currently have 3 HR21s and one HR22. The plan is to replace one HR21 with a HR34 and get the whole house DVR set up. Will this integration work? Is there a cap on the number of possible tuners? Would I have 11? Am...
