    Easter Eggs (hidden options)

    Not being a long time user of dish, how would I have known that there was a hidden option to bridge? What on the screen or in the manual would alert me that this screen has a hidden button.?

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    I agree. I really was not expecting this to work, but was wondering what the designers had in mind when they decided to put two Ethernet jacks on the box.

    What do you mean by sub menu. the on screen button did not show up until i hit the blue button on the remote twice.

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    You missed my point entirely. If i got a 2nd dsl connection and hooked it to the hopper and left my 1st dsl connection hooked to my home lan (iphones, ipads, computers, tv's, printers, etc), the hopper and my lan would be connected only by the internet. Thus if i was sitting in my house and used...

    Internet connection cause of Joeys looking for Hoppers?

    Something to look out for. I was having problems with the joeys loosing connections to the hopper. Was intermittent for weeks. Then i discovered that what was really happening was that either due to power loss, my resetting my SOHO router or it otherwise being unplugged, the H/J's would get a...

    Easter Eggs (hidden options)

    Is it inappropriate to talk about? Was wondering what options might be available, like the bridging option.

    Any clue why two ethernet jacks

    Any clue why the hopper might have two ethernet ports. I would love it if both could be used, one to access the internet and the other your local lan. I don't have the greatest internet bandwitch and would get two connections if i could figure out a way to make the hopper use one for on-demand...

    Windows Media Server - Hopper

    Mezzmo works for windows works great. It has a setting profile for a hopper/joey and will transcode any media that the H/J does not support. It's not free but they do have a free trial. I have lots of stuff in itunes; music, video and audio stores, and all show up and play on the hopper and...

    Hopper External drive problem

    Check the power supply to make sure the transformer has not gone bad. Do you hear or fell the drive spinning up when power is first applied.

    ON Demand Parental Control Issues

    Ok, found out two things after playing more. 1st despite the fact the far left radio says none under ratings restrictions if you click edit ratings it has NR/AO set be default. I guess none is not really none. Once i removed this i was no longer being ask for code to play any recordings or...

    Hopper Wish List - What to change

    The ability to filter the program guide with the same options as search. Also would like a way to display the play progress bar while playing. on Tivo you did this by pressing play while playing. Pressing play does not seem to do anyting while playing on H/J. The only way i can find to do this...

    ON Demand Parental Control Issues

    Well this just get more and more weird. I have an two episodes of weeds recorded and any attempt to play them results in the joey asking for the passcode. These were NOT recorded via on-demand but rather off the satellite. It also appears to do this when you go to some of the premium move...

    ON Demand Parental Control Issues

    Are you sure about that? Until i bridged any attempt to view on-demand guide would pop up a menu that said something to the effect hook to the internet to use on-demand.

    ON Demand Parental Control Issues

    Unfortunately I am in an area where i can only get Low end DSL service. My kids love the hopper and are constantly selecting on demand things to download. Problem is these eat up my bandwidth and are interferring with my work. I turned on parental controls and restricted purchases but it appears...

    Sling setup

    Does anyone know if the sling and the dish online web site are smart enough to realize you are both inside the same nat? I assume the pc talks directly to the sling adapter and the feed does not go back to or thru dish. If this is the case i have seen many soho routers that will not allow you...

    My quest to get DLNA working on the Hopper...

    I loaded and tried several dlna servers on my iphone trying to play music on the hopper via Home Media. None of them seem to work with the hopper though they did with other phones and windows. In any event i now have all these servers (devices) listed in the device list of home media despite the...

    Dish Online

    I am new to dish and to the hopper. It is my understanding that the hooper does not allow you to access dishonline content. If this is correct, would this not be just the thing for a hopper app?

    My Ongoing Pet Peeve with Dish DVRs Continues with the Hopper (Mid-show Recording)

    Ok I have been doing some playing with this and I think it does both. Maybe someone else can test this too as I did not have much in my buffer. It appears to me that if it's paused it starts there. If its not paused (or you un-pause first) then hit record it keeps the buffer.

    Seek and Record

    As a past TiVo user i used to have a WishList (similar to seek and record for those not familar) that would record all new movies for 2012. This was done by doing a wish list for the keyword 2012 and selecting to apply only to movies. With seek and record it appears you can do the keyword (or...

    Timer conflicts

    Does anyone really understand how this all works. I can't figure it out. I show conflicts and on some there is a resolve and on others there is not. If I click resolve some will show me i am trying to record 4 things at once but there seems to be no choices to correct this other than to delete...

    My Ongoing Pet Peeve with Dish DVRs Continues with the Hopper (Mid-show Recording)

    Yes it's too bad there's not a Screen and a remote so they could ask the question "Record from beginning [YES] [NO]" and you could choose. Oh wait, thats called a pop-up and they have a dozeon of them. Seems like one more would not be whats needed. Along with this i would like it to give me...
