    Ghost folder? (Lists in DVR window but can't select for timers?)

    I've recently started dividing up some of my shows in to categories and created several folders. All of the sudden, my folder... "Troy" isn't showing up as an option for folders to save in? I even deleted, the re-created the folder and it STILL won't show. It's visisble in the DVR screen but not...

    Hopper randomly stops video or changes channel? RF issue?

    There's been a handfull of times when the Hopper remote was just sitting on the table, yet the Hopper "did something" like it had been given a remote command. (Changed channel, stopped DVR playback, went in to the guide...etc) The only possible "related activity" I can think of is that My wife...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    hahah.. I just tried tried hitting play again yesterday.... and guess what? It works now.... so scratch the above complaint and replace it with "Inconsistant operations... sometimes the Play button works and sometimes it just stares at you and blinks vacantly until you hit select and choose...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    Ohhh, another quirk... I noticed the other day that I had a row of show icosn but I couldnt select the one on the far right. In order to get to it I had to arrow to the left until it wrapped past the left side of the screen and it then would highlight the icon on the right.

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    I've noticed a couple of quirks (They may have been mentioned... I gave up about page 8, LOL) While watching recordings (Joey) the skip ahead button sometimes doesn't.... it "skips" to right about where it was and all you see is a glitch in the video. After hitting it a couple of times it...

    DLNA *or* Sling, but not both???

    I use a Sling and I have a HIC hooked up. Sling has been.... iffy, I guess. I consider a large part of that to be my rather crappy 640k upload link though. I have found that it has been getting better the more I have tried to use it. (Not sure why that might be.) I can stream live vid and...

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    It seems like if it's streaming 4 channels of HD at the same time they could manage to slip in a 512 byte packette saying "HEY! Starting @ 7:30PM all CBS shows are delayed 30 minutes!".... it really does seem like a poor choice of development priorities that it doesn't.

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    LOL... coupons! Oscar Myer Hot Dogs were on sale last summer for $1.49.... had a .50 coupon that doubled to $1... $0.49 for 10 dogs ($.05 each.) Buns for $1/8 pack... counting only the 8 complete dogs you can make they are $.19 each.. ;-P The extra penny covers the mustard and ketchup... (also...

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    Ehhh, just cut the games short. If they can't finish their games on schedule it's not my concern.... just cut them off. ;-P (Not being a sports person it always bugs me when games screw things up.... and why the heck do they always schedule baseball games at rush hour so it takes me an extra...

    Grrr, getting used to this system still, another "Dumb question" LOL.

    It finally populated... weird that it took that long but maybe it doesn't even try until you go in there? (In other words... "Movies" were just fine.... it was just when browsing by network, and then only when I first found it. By the next AM it was populated, so somewhere between the 15...

    Grrr, getting used to this system still, another "Dumb question" LOL.

    It's a 3MB conection.... so not blazing but not dial-up either. It did wake up this AM and I can interact with the shows now (As well as seeing the info screens) I have some stuff downloading today. We'll see how that goes... it was usually reporting ~30 minutes for 1 Hr HD programs to download.

    Grrr, getting used to this system still, another "Dumb question" LOL.

    I don't think this is Hopper specific so I posted here, appologies if I was wrong. OK, basic on-demand question. I Hit Menu/On-Demand then select "All TV Channels" and see the channel I want.... lets say BBC America.... next I hit "Top Gear" and so far so good.... but now what? When I scroll...

    How to have Joey remote learn odd IR code?

    I know about the programming via the Joey and looking up codes, but what about codes that aren't in there? I specifically am looking to add the ON/OFF and Preset light level codes from a Lutron IR dimmer switch. Is there a "Set this mode and point the old remote here" way to read in codes?

    Maybe I missed what "No OTA" meant....

    Already taken care of... chat CSR hooked me up. They were missing... LOL. (Wheeeew..... I won't be killed for "Fooling with all this satellite crap when my GCB is coming on!") ;-o Anyway.... was one of those "No prob, they will be up in 10 minutes." and by the time the CSR said that they already...

    Maybe I missed what "No OTA" meant....

    No, never had Dish before. The channels are pretty confusing so it's highly possible I have something set wrong. I go from 1 VOD to 071-00 IDEA?

    Maybe I missed what "No OTA" meant....

    OK, probably a dumb question... I'm a newb to satelitte so go easy, LOL. How do I watch just plain 'ole NBC? (Or Fox or... etc.) Not like anything that would need to be OTA (Local news and such) but just the regular network wide TV programs during the non-PTAT hours? I don't see the networks...

    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    The HOA stuff doesn't really seem like it would be the installers job. It's not Dish's HOA. If they require something other than the code it would be the homeowners responsibility right? (Not sure on that... I don't have a HOA so am not really familiar with it.) I do agree that ground looks...

    What's a Red Sox? (OK, so I didn't get dish for sports...LOL ;-) It did occur to me that for those who do like sports that a "SlingRing" could be set up so that folks in a blackout area could watch games by swapping account info with other Sling users. What I want is Amazon streaming on my...

    Yes, I did the test drive yesterday.... tested on both my Kindle Fire and my Laptop. (Kindle fire app not normally available yet, but mine has been tweaked to get me access to the regular Android App store. App itself works just fine as best I can tell.) I'm getting a Hopper/Joey new Dish...

    Someone 'splain dis slingblade... err, slingBOX thing to me....HrrrmmMMm

    OK, now that I got that out of my system.... LOL Slingbox adapter seems to work different than the rest of the Dish offerings, if I understand it correctly. 1) $30 to buy but it's the same cost pretty much anytime. (Looking at other Slingbox adapters they run $60 through Amazon?) 2) No...

    The Hopper installer has arrived let the fun begin!

    Is the screen cleaner thing an inside joke or do they really try to sell it to you? If so.. how much and as stated... is it a cool thing to do for the installer (I assume the get a kickback or something?) if you can't tip them?
