    Prime Time recordings corrupted after several weeks.

    I have this same problem and it's been doing this for many months (I noticed it near the beginning of the fall television season). I have two Hoppers and am in the Los Angeles market. The first Hopper (2K) has PTAT recording all four networks every day and keeping 8 days of recordings. This...

    PTAT Enabling Auto-Hop w/Hopper 3?

    The wait for ABC shows was implemented many months ago (maybe even a year ago); in fact, it was implemented before the CBS wait was implemented. For me, autohop is available for ABC shows on the fourth day after it airs, and for CBS shows on the eighth day after it airs. Normally, for NBC and...

    FreedomPop Free Internet Review

    When it showed you that there was no coverage it should have given you a link to the coverage map. Here's the link: http://www.freedompop.com/coverage

    Not all shows available for transfer

    There isn't a separate PTAT partition. That was changed several software releases ago. The user partition is now 1231GB, which includes space for PTAT recordings.

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    As GaryPen said, yes, it is worth it. But it wasn't a typo; it was incorrect phrasing. If you're going to write something, understand what you are actually writing versus what you mean. What Hall wrote isn't what he meant, but unless someone points it out he might not ever learn. I...

    So whos NOT getting a Hopper due to lack of OTA?

    So you're saying that the average customer does care about OTA, because there is room to care less?

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    Last night at 8pm there was a repeat of last week's Grimm and a new episode at 9pm. Both showed up in My Recordings.

    Shows disappearing from my recordings

    I just lost a PTAT show from 10/7 that was saved via a timer. It did not disappear from My Recordings, but before trying to watch it I pressed Select and then chose Edit so that I could check the file size, which was 0.000GB. When I tried to watch it, as expected from the file size I just got...

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    I reported this issue to DIRT about a month ago. For me, it happened on Grimm in August (new episodes on Mondays which repeated on Fridays), on the first episode of Revolution (new on a Monday and repeated that Wednesday), and the season premier of Bones (new on a Monday and repeated on that...

    Shows disappearing from my recordings

    I reported the same issue to DIRT on 9/21. If I choose to save a single episode from PTAT, it will disappear on its own nine days after it was recorded. If I have a timer for the show the episodes don't disappear.

    DISH BRING TIME WARNER SPORTS NETWORK FOR SO. CAL CUSTOMERS.

    pics missing

    The pictures were there for me less than 24 hours later, so I don't know when they finally showed up. Even though the pictures weren't there Monday night, the red kangaroos were there before 1am and I could autohop.

    pics missing

    Castle, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother have pictures. All of the rest have station logos on white backgrounds. They're still that way after the update/reboot.

    PTAT Save Series

    Selecting "Save Series" is supposed to do two things: save a copy of that episode in "My Recordings" and create a timer for that series. Bear in mind that the series timer it creates will have an episode type of "new and reruns". After selecting "Save Series" go look in your timers to see if...

    Soon to have Hopper - PTAT Question

    When you select save series it simply creates a timer for you. In my experience it creates it as new and reruns, so you'll have to change it if you want new only. If you create the series timers ahead of time, it will save the shows to My Recordings. I've experienced one glitch where for a...

    Auto Hop

    For me it takes two and a half to three seconds for it to hop, and then I get about a half second at the end of the commercial block. Prior to S221, it was about a half second at each end of the block.

    Auto Hop

    Not quite true, but close. It's not available until 1am. My Hoppers don't reboot until 1:30am and I see the red kangaroos before then.

    Hopper dvr playback issues

    I had the dreaded 04 error on two Olympics recordings on each of my two Hoppers. The recordings were made on S217 but the attempt to view them was on S221. Also, the primetime Olympics on NBC recorded by PTAT that I had selected to save while they were recording or after the recordings...
