    SatelliteGuys 2019 Team Summit Review

    Thanks, Scott! Good information. I wondered how nervous James Wilde was in having to do a live demo of voice search. ;) "activate nap mode" "activate NAP mode" "ACTIVATE. NAP. MO..." Son of a... <walks over to devices to manually activate nap mode>

    DISH Anywhere when traveling w/o internet

    One frustration for me when using the Dish Anywhere app on my Android tablet is an annoying message I get periodically when opening a good, transferred recording. "The license is not available to play this video." I only use DA when traveling so I don't use it all the time. The message drove me...

    Dish Anywhere Waiting to Prepare

    **UPDATE** In case anyone finds this post. I thought that the Hopper will keep the prepared files until the recording is finally deleted. I guess not. Did not notice the little down arrow icon which means you can transfer immediately as it has been processed on the Hopper. If no icon then there...

    Dish Anywhere Waiting to Prepare

    Around March of last year I was getting ready for some business travel and wanted to put some recordings on my DA app (Android). Have don't this many times. I must have had the 'prepare for mobile' OFF on the H3 as I saw that the selected items went to the dreaded waiting to prepare... step. I...

    Hopper 3 and Dolby Atmos Audio

    Thank you both. I did not know if the Atmos data was just that. Data as part of the audio channel. Or if Dish had to build in any sort of capability to pass or handle that. Actually, was looking at the baby brother to the 950, the 850. I don't need the surround for the family room and the 850...

    Hopper 3 and Dolby Atmos Audio

    I searched the forums and did not really find an answer. I am looking to add a soundbar to my family room Sony 4K TV and H3 setup. I am particular about audio and many of the "affordable" soundbars I heard sound bad or the voice component sounds like someone talking in a tin can. I see there are...

    Joey via ethernet?

    Agree with HIFI. I have a wireless Joey that I don't use all the time and don't want to keep having to remember to turn the access point on when using. So I have the ethernet connected directly and no WAP. Works like a champ for me.

    Bug Report: Hopper 3 pause issue, suggested fix!

    I also proposed a long time ago that they should use one of those unused tuners active and buffering for at least 15 seconds AFTER someone turns off the hopper. We all know the Hopper never really shuts off so this should have been a no-brainer implemented at H3 launch. The user benefit is that...

    Welcome to our 2017 CES Forum!

    ...and if you ever do get to Vegas for CES or any other reason and are a car guy, check out the Petty Experience for muscle cars. Take the extra vacation day. They have them for stock cars and "dream" cars as well. The muscle car one is pretty affordable and I believe is only at the Las Vegas...

    Some more show pics but so many vendors it was crazy. Show gets bigger every year. Pretty much too big now. Show floor: Only a small sample.

    Welcome to our 2017 CES Forum!

    Drones had a huge presence here. Including this company and their $10k monster capable of lifting a small child. And this model was their middle option with one larger. Maybe that can lift two small children??

    Welcome to our 2017 CES Forum!

    LG has a huge booth that was always packed. Their new Signature W7 model is amazing and super-thin. The W7 soundbar has two side speakers that pop up when you want them but didn't get a chance to hear them above all the booth noise. The black line on the left is the glass it was mounted to...

    Samsung KS8500 Curved and Hopper 3 question?

    This is my personal feedback so take it as such! I too love Samsung and was torn recently between Sony and Samsung for our upgrade to a new 55" 4K TV. Ultimately I went with a flat screen Sony, mainly for their better 4K upscaling and this model's better viewing angle. But again was almost a...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    For me I tried this a number of times. I did not see a noticeable difference. I did see the TV's info banner note the resolution difference though. Maybe my new Sony is just really good at 4K upscaling like it claims. ;-)

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    Will be interesting to get feedback on this as from what I understand, there is no "push out 4K" for video signals that truly are NOT 4K as the source. As in the movies/shows that indicate they are 4K. Unless there is something happening that is different than "regular" viewing here? Our 4K TV's...

    Can I copy the recordings directly off the internal drive?

    Miner I messed with this not too long ago. Had a 211 receiver but not a DVR. I had a connected EHD so it was a pseudo-DVR. Drive started failing so I messed about with trying to not lose recordings. I had some limited success but the failing drive was dying so fast it would take an hour to copy...

    patmurphey lparsons21 n0qcu Big thanks! For some reason the upscaling of other content stuck in my head. Normally I jump pretty quickly into new tech but our Sony HD TVs we bought years ago were still perfect so I decided to wait until now. When prices for pretty good TV's have come waaay...
