    Hopper 3 issues with resuming play and pausing

    I've had the Hopper 3/Joey system for more than a year now and it's mostly fine. I've paused still airing TV shows before and resumed playback on another TV a few minutes later, but lately when I make it to the other TV and hit "resume" it doesn't start play where I paused, but it catches up to...

    Managing Shared Recordings on Hopper 3

    I was playing tonight with moving recordings from one folder to another. I'm following the instructions online and I'm even seeing the options (I think) but they are all greyed out except for "Select All". I did try clicking it but--nothing. So instead, when I'm looking at the recording and hit...

    Managing Shared Recordings on Hopper 3

    But how does each person know whether the item can be deleted and that both people have watched it? For now I'm going with the "protect" idea I had. All shows we both watch are in the main "no folder" and protected until I watch them (because I will watch them first 99% of the time). Once the...

    Managing Shared Recordings on Hopper 3

    I'll now try to focus on the good and what my new gadget can do. I've tried searching for this issue and haven't yet found exactly what I'm looking for so I do apologize if I'm repeating a question that's been asked a lot. I've tried changing my search words and either this isn't an issue for...

    Hopper 3 Installation Issues

    For anyone who's waiting with bated breath to know what has happened... They are waiving a $39.99 fee for the Pearl cable, but he doesn't see where I was charged $119 for other cables. I have an email I was sent thanking me for my payment of $119.04 (but no indication of for what). Divide that...

    Hopper 3 Installation Issues

    Dammit. I just got home and there is a Pearl HDMI box laying around. And a $119 charge. We do not have 4K TVs. We have every day Vizios. I am pretty pissed that they added a $119 charge to this upgrade that we weren't expecting for cables that we don't need. Dish will be hearing from me.

    Hopper 3 Installation Issues

    I don't think they are as uncommon as you think. Maybe most people have the main newer TV but I think a lot of people still have their old CRTs. Maybe I just know a lot of frugal and/or poor people.

    Hopper 3 Installation Issues

    That all sounds possible. I just am so stressed over this whole thing (it's weeks in the making now). I still don't think we should have to pay for extra cords though. I think Dish should expect that some people have older systems somewhere in the house.

    Hopper 3 Installation Issues

    So the Dish technician is at our house at the moment and "there are problems." (I'm at work so I'm hearing this all from the person at home). We're getting a Hopper and 3 Joeys. Apparently the TV in my bedroom is "incompatible." Why? It's an older, small tube TV. I tried looking up TV compatible...

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    What hard drive did you use?

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    Edit: And nope. Of course not. They don't have the same formatting so they can't be used together. sh*t!

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    I haven't signed on the dotted line yet. I've always liked the Hopper and it's pretty well reviewed. It's not super helpful right now to be told they don't have the 722s and I did figure they have to have more somewhere, even if the Hopper is the latest, greatest new thing. But with the Hopper...

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    Thank you! This at least gives me something to work with. I'm talking to another Dish agent now and they said they'd have to send out a tech to fix this anyone so we're likely just going to go the replacement route in the end anyway. Apparently the 722s are phasing out and we have to upgrade...

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    I know it'll only be SD. That's fine for me. But you seem to have left out...how to get to that point. What port? How do I get the signal to TV 2? I really thought this would be as easy as going to the basement and fiddling with the cable splitters down there.

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    Got it, but what would a typical house have? We have about 5000 TV cables set up in the basement (when they built this house they put cable hook ups in every single room!). How can I figure out how it's currently being done in my house (besides calling Dish who likely won't send a rep on a...

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    Yes, I found out last night we've apparently been paying for this...and none of us remember signing up for it. Another sketchy thing from Dish. We will likely do that though. But for tonight and the next few days I'd really like to be able to be connected to a DVR. Walking Dead and all, you...

    Switch 2nd Tuner of VIP 722 to another TV

    Long story short: How do you connect a VIP 722 to another TV (and please speak to me like I'm a person who has never done that before since...I am). Long story long: So, I think my VIP 722 bit it last night. Started clicking. I unplugged overnight and while I can amazingly watch TV at the...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    And perhaps "required to" was the wrong word. Our small, local cable company does not offer any analog channels. They got rid of them in one fell swoop years ago. I guess it would have been more correct to say they switched to all digital before they needed to. In my brain I twisted that to...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I have been reading this forum but there are many pages so I fear I may be replicating previous questions so I apologize in advance if I do that. The Hopper sounds awesome...but too good to be true. I'm waiting for "The Catch." I hope someone will be able to answer my questions or direct...
