    Minn. - San Fran. Game, Audio

    Always watch football with my antenna other than Comcast. Better picture. Anyhow, when I switch to antenna, I can’t hear the announcers voices. Can hear the refs and crowd, but no announcers. Comcast works just fine. I tried different sound fields on my Yamaha Receiver to no avail. Anyone have...

    Ads Taking Over Sat. Guys

    It only happens to me on this site. These ads appear and are impossible to x off, making it impossible for me to view this site. They just keep re appearing. The only way I can view this site is to turn off Java Script. But that disables my auto fill password feature on my I Pad. Why is this...

    Hopper vs Genie, Will I Be Sorry?

    I just had my fourth Hopper failure losing some very special recordings. Just looking for some opinions on the move that I am very serious about. As I am writing this, some older posts appeared. I will check them out. I don't want to commit to a 2 year contract and be sorry.

    Hopper defaulting to "My HD Channels"

    For the last few weeks, my Hopper has been defaulting to "My HD Channels" instead of remaining on "My Channels". It's a pain resetting it all the time. Tried power cord reset, don't help. Just wondering if this is happening to any one else.

    Back in September, my Bedroom Hopper crashed and everything on the Hard Drive was lost. It also did some other weird things. While waiting on the replacement, it fixed itself. Now I got the Hard Drive Message saying it is broke again. Yes, my replacement crashed after 3 months. I asked back...

    Timers, Auto Correction

    Don't remember if this has been discussed before. When I had Direct TV, it would automatically compensate for a program starting early and ending late. It is inconvenient when setting timers to add minutes so no programming is lost. I have lost the endings of many programs because of this...

    I Pad & Blu Tooth

    Remote Naming

    I named one of my Joey's remotes to a custom name about a year ago. I tried renaming it for the last two days to a custom name, hit save and it goes back to the old name. I even tried using the default names, hit save and it still goes back to the old name. I give up. Anyone else have this...

    Cast and Crew

    I used to have Direct TV til a few years ago til they screwed me on their Free NFL Weekend. Any how that's another matter. One thing I really miss about their DVR was Cast and Crew Option. You were able to hit that option and all the actors and the movies they were in appeared. If you liked that...

    Blu Tooth Headphones

    I am interested in getting a pair of these. Just have a few questions. 1. Do you need to get a special brand to work with the Hopper? 2. Is the freq. response good? 3. Can I use them while others are listening to the speakers? 4. Can I just turn them on and use them instead of going thru menus...

    Hopper With Sling, Optical Audio Cutting Out

    Upgraded my old Hoppers 2 days ago for the new ones with Sling. What a nightmare. Every time I change a channel or when using the DVR to Fast Forward or Rewind the optical audio to my 7.1 Sony Receiver cuts out. When this occurs, the HDMI Audio to the TV speakers are OK. Never had this issue...
