    Hopper3 gets confused playing recording on second Hopper3

    Thanks for this post. I thought I was losing it. Neither Hopper would play the correct video (Hopper 1 & Hopper 2). Your workaround helps. We may move to a single H3 next year (although I’d love 2 H3’s because I like having my own DVR) and your solution is great until we pull the trigger...

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Thanks! A happy accident truth be told. I saw the price and jumped on it. I've let my tech savviness fall by the wayside so I do have a possibly dumb question. So can this one be reformatted for a PC?

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    I didn't know they was a difference either. I noticed it packaged this way at Target as well. This is what I got: WD 1TB Black My Passport for Mac Portable External Hard Drive - USB 3.0 - WDBFKF0010BBK-WESN from Amazon. 42.53 (+ tax). Not a bad price. And... worked great. I was able...

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    I just thought of something. Will the update that happens nightly interfere with this?

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Wait?!?! I can use this one (mac version) to back up, view from my current Hopper and then move the recordings to a new Hopper if necessary? Am I understanding you correctly?

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Crap. I ordered an EHD for mac....[emoji35] Will I be able to download the recordings with no difficulty after the update? Ugh... I wish we would have had a choice on whether to uprgade or at least more notice.

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Lol!! I have enjoyed the responses. Thanks for the advice. Amazon is delivering an EHD sometime today (gotta love free same day shipping for Prime members). I'll back his stuff up tonight while we sleep. Still wondering if I should back up mine too before the upgrade (my HWS). The EHD is a...

    Should we upgrade to a H3?

    Hey everyone, So, I've been reading the posts on the interface updates. Currently we have a H1 and a HWS (I like having my own DVR). The hubs uses the H1 and he doesn't adapt well to change (he's the "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" kinda guy). I'm concerned with the update on his H1 and...

    Advice Needed

    Thank you for the responses so far. Great information and I appreciate all the advice. The 16 tuners sounds awesome because twice a week the hubs has 4 shows taping at once (not in prime time) and I have to rearrange recordings for him (he's not tech savvy). Lots to consider because I like...

    I think my Hopper is dead...

    Hey everyone. When I got home today, I noticed that I couldn't access my DVR from the hubs' DVR. Went to my DVR and found it stuck on the "Starting up..." screen. I tried to reset it several times and have had it unplugged for over 30 mins but I keep getting the same start up screen. Ugh...

    Install question for 2nd hopper

    Good to know but that shouldn't be a problem. I grew up near NYC & to this day need noise to fall asleep. Usually set the sleep timer on the TV once we are on bed. Is it difficult to switch if it is a problem (although I think we will be fine)? Maggie
