    Hopper 3 freezing on PIP sports bar mode

    This is the second Hopper 3 that has had this problem. When I switch to the 4 screen PIP mode, the 4 screens will come up, but 3 of the 4 channels are frozen, 1 channel is displaying fine, and audio works. If I try to switch out of PIP mode, the screen freezes on the 4 screen view, interlaced...

    Service pause restored automatically, then suspended for non-payment

    As a closure to this thread, I called in to arrange the return of the equipment, they transferred me to a thinking human, and we worked out a deal and everything is good. It is just so hard to get past the level 1 drones.

    Service pause restored automatically, then suspended for non-payment

    Hi all, I have been a dish customer for about 20 years. I moved out of an apartment a year ago in preparation of getting married and called to pause my Dish service for a few months while I transitioned. I was married in the fall and moved into my wife's house. It took a while to get moved in...

    Discrete command for closed caption?

    Well, my Harmony macro was working fine until the latest update which added all of the CC options. Now, when you are activating CC, after you click on "Yes", the cursor goes over the "Font" options instead of "Save". When you turn CC off, it works as it previously did. Very frustrated that the...

    New feature - HDMI-CEC

    Does the green light stay on after the power button is pressed, or does it go off but the machine is still buffering? Thanks in advance.

    Still having issues with :29 and :59 past the hour freeze/pixilation

    In a previous thread, they asked for people having the problem to PM the DIRT team with the receiver IDs that had the issue. This tells me that they can't reliably reproduce it in the lab, and that it is intermittent in the field. That will take them longer to fix.

    S234 12-13-12

    New CC options screw up my macros! :( I realize this is a first world problem, but in the prior firmware, the remote keystrokes to turn CC on and off were the same, so I recorded one macro set for my Harmony remote, labeled it "CC Toggle", and was good to go. Now there are more CC options in...

    What happened to regular software updates?

    I think you are overestimating the intelligence, technical acumen, and troubleshooting initiative of the average TV watcher. The fact that you are on this board means that you are in the top 1% of technically aware Dish customers.

    S224 for Hopper and S273 for Joey is out

    Hey hey hey... Who is calling names now? Besides, I didn't "call him drunk", I merely listed it as one of a number of plausible scenarios. I stand by my post! ;)

    S224 for Hopper and S273 for Joey is out

    My analysis is as follows. Either: 1. You are drunk. 2. It was a pre-release update and you got it by mistake. Wait a few hours, check again, and repost. If you see the same version number then either: 1. You are an alcoholic, seek help. 2. It was a pre-release update, and you got it by...

    Once Again...DISH Shoulda Dropped The Weather Channel When It Could

    Yes, but the Weather channel just purchased Weather Underground.:confused:

    DISH Hopper Testers Needed

    I am in! 2H/3J here. I watch a lot of sports, and am also a IT professional, so use to troubleshooting and systematically reproducing and documenting problems.

    Hopper S217 Feedback

    Remember, that as a general rule, happy people don't post that "everything is working great." (and wouldn't it get annoying if they all did?) I have had a couple of minor issues, but have been very stable and happy with mine since it was installed months ago. I am sure that I am not alone...

    DISH COVERAGE OF OLYMPICS

    Does anyone else have the guide information swapped for the dedicated soccer and basketball channels? The basketball channel guide says soccer, and the soccer channel guide says basketball. Weird.

    Olympics Prime-Time recordings corrupt

    Hi all. I have 2J/3J setup, and haven't had any major issues with the setup. I was working on a proposal last night, and couldn't watch the Olympics live in prime time, so figured I would catch up today. When I go to watch the recorded "Prime Time" recording, it is fine for about 90 minutes...

    Still having issues with :29 and :59 past the hour freeze/pixilation

    I record "Pardon the Interuption" on ESPN every afternoon. They run a 60 second countdown at the end of the show, and the pixelation and stutter happen like clockwork around the 30 second mark. I can almost predict it now. It actually skips ahead a few seconds to, maybe 3-4, so you loose a...

    Recommend a good universal remote for my new Hopper setup?

    Though I would agree, the sequence on Harmony should allow for more then 5 steps. I wonder why they took the feature out of the newer models? They need to step up, because as much as I like my 880, I can see them getting passed by in the next couple of years if things like full keypad remotes...

    Recommend a good universal remote for my new Hopper setup?

    In fact, I just did it. Took me about 20 seconds to create the macro to toggle captioning. I have a Harmony 880, love it with the hopper.

    Dish Pass recording looped commercial on blocked channel

    This is a really annoying problem. I want to record all indycar races on my hopper, so I have a Dish Pass timer set up to "new" "All channels" keyword: "Indycar". This search has worked just fine for several years on my old tuner and now my hopper. Now, dish is running a looping infomercial for...

    How much would you pay for the new Dish "concept" remote?

    I agree here. The first thing I thought of when I saw this remote was "I want one." The second thing I thought of was "I also want my Harmony to have a keyboard." Since the Harmony is RF though, that would be an interesting design challenge.

    Let's fix the glitches before adding new features.

    It isn't an either/or proposition. There is a limit to how many programmers you can efficiently assign to code various task. It takes a woman 9 months to have a baby, if you assign two women to the task you don't get a baby in 4 1/2 months. They certainly should put priority on stability, but...

    Dual Hopper Intergration (From Team Summit)

    Regardless, this should be an option. the drop down box should should show "Combined" at the top, and each individual hopper below that. Let each person choose. Also, implementing tags (as opposed to folders) for organization would make it easier to filter the list down.
