    Transferring Recordings from Hopper 3 to iPad

    I selected a show but don't have a transfer option. All I get is to "watch", "delete", or "save".

    Transferring Recordings from Hopper 3 to iPad

    Hi all. Just upgraded from a 625 and 2 - 722"s. I've heard that you can actually transfer DVR recordings to an iPad. Is there any instructions anywhere? My DishAnywhere app has a queue area. But I can't find a way to start the process.

    Thanks. I tried to google it but nothing came up. Do you have a link?

    DISH Barcodes

    Yeah that's what we did when I was a tech. I saved the stickers and at the end of the week I knew how many receivers I needed to restock. Since I've come back to the company they switched to sharing vans. So, at night I restock every van. I'm building a (hopefully) potent spreadsheet that will...

    DISH Barcodes

    Does anyone know where we can look up the specs on the barcodes DISH uses? I work in an RSP warehouse. We can print barcodes but it isn't a font. It's an image which doesn't paste well into a spreadsheet to work the van inventory. I've tried a few barcode fonts on the internet but none seem to...

    Question on Connectivity

    Ok. That explains why initially, before the living room router died, both VIPs were online with ONLY a slinglink on the Living Room. So, to fix it once and for all I need to leave the ethernet connection in the guest room and run a cat five cable to the living room receiver once and for all? I...

    Question on Connectivity

    No Sir. The Living room is still using a Sling Link. I am considering going out and getting a wifi adapter. Back when I used to install, it's been a couple of years, wifi was the least reliable connection method. I thought that one connection was all that was needed to gain connectivity for all...

    Question on Connectivity

    For years, I had a 722K connected via Slinglink. It was in the Living Room. And generally speaking the connection was stable if a little slow. Recently I added another 722K and it shared the connection. It is in a Guest Room. A few days later the router in the living room died and was...

    722 and hook up to 2nd tv

    This answered my question why TV2 on a 625 wont sat auto tune. At least I am not crazy.

    Tree in Way? Bad aiming? or both...

    Yeah. I think my tablet compass is on crack. But the iPhone is a life saver. Cut my point and tweak time by a huge amount. Align a site is also a good tool. It's best when perms mounted to your travel long dish.

    Tree in Way? Bad aiming? or both...

    Yeppers. I have DPPro for iPhone and the galaxy tab. The iPhone app is sooo much more accurate it ain't funny. That could be due to internal compass quality also. Worth every nickel on the iPhone.

    922 HD 216% to Full

    Yeah I've been told that also. All I know is that it didn't work for us during that install. I feel bad for the guy since he "lost" a lot of dvr stuff.

    922 HD 216% to Full

    I upgraded a guy from a 622 to 1H2J and his 622 ehd didn't work. The hopper showed it as attached but did not show content. This guy was twisted pissed. We called Dash and the support guy on the other end stated categorically that all ehd must go to the same type of receiver. I suspect it isn't...

    EHD Questions

    That's good to know. Is the CS hit any different than the one I can send from my tablet? If not, I will just incorporate it into my installation routine.

    EHD Questions

    My apologies. The Hopper didn't format the EHD. It recognized it as a drive but showed no content even though the guy had about a zillion hours on it. Called DASH to talk to an expert and I was told that each receiver model had its' own proprietary format. I was thinking that it really sucked to...

    EHD Questions

    Hi. I've been told that an external hard drive has to be formatted for Dish. And, on top of that, the formatting is specific to receivers. So, when my customer upgraded from a 622 to Hopper he lost bunches of DVR's. Dude was annoyed to say the least. Is there any workaround at all? Third party...

    dish mover

    Never had the number one pulled on me. I suspect I got a number two. Very new appearing house with absolutely no cable in it. #3 happens all the time. I have gotten good at explaining about potential liability issues. What annoys me is the upgrades where it is supposed to be a drop and swap. In...

    Remote Control Question

    What are the actual menu words? I know of a guy with a 222k that has this exact same issue. But, I think the menus are different and I don't know what the headers are since I don't have a 522 or a 222. Thanks. Edit. He upgraded from a 322 to a 222k. TV2 and its' mirror work fine. TV1 and its'...

    Let's fix the glitches before adding new features.

    I would like to know what genius designed PTAT so that only HD Locals qualify. We can put a man on the moon, we've mapped the genome, but we can't have PTAT since my locals are not HD? Seriously?

    mirroring hopper/joeys?

    Ya might try HDMI out of the Joey and RCA out to another TV....... I did an install of a VIP system where TV2 was actually off some reeeeeeeeallly long RCA cables.

    75 ohm terminator

    I wonder if we should terminate the third feed port on the 1000.2 LNBF if we are only using two of them (solo node)?

    Network Setup - Wireless

    I don't like the wireless adapter we get issued. It's reception is to finicky in my view. It's too bad that Dish allegedly won't pay for the second slinglink. Ethernet or HIC is the best option.

    Dish tech saved my daughter....

    Why is PTAT HD dependant? I am not a computer programmer, but that seems like something you SHOULD be able to toggle in the software. My customers are really PO'd since our locals are not HD unless you go OTA. I mean, we can put a man on the moon (using a government agency no less)....
