    Stand for hopper?

    I'm curious as to how many Hopper owners are concerned enough about over-heating that you are pro-actively doing something about it? If so, what are you doing? are you putting your hopper in some sort of stand to elevate it off the shelf? if so, what kind? Did it lower temperatures? Are you...

    Anyone else getting "skipping" when FF on DVR Recordings??

Is quite frustrating when you are trying to take-up where the show left off before the commercial...These are not PTAT...

    Who's up for a timer set-up question?

    So when you use the "search" function for say "jonny" and there is a series it finds called jonny quest (which is what my kids want recorded)... How can you set the time to record the series, but not the duplicates within the series? :confused:

    Hmmmm...Hopper #2 DVR Recording Picture Format Problem (anyone??)

    So here's one problem I don't know how to resolve. Its recorded picture format on 1 of my 2 hoppers: Our second hopper (we have a 2h/1j set-up with dual node) is set-up on 16x9 hd tv and the live tv fills the screen nicely in the proper format. However, the timed recordings from earlier in the...
