    4K Joeys freezing about every minute, Hopper 3 is fine.

    Hello everyone, For the last week my three 4K Joeys I have have been freezing every minute or so and the freeze last for about 3-5 seconds, enough time to miss a homerun in the baseball games for instance. I have all three of the 4K Joey in my garage as a man cave style set up, and those are...

    Two Hopper 3's for use of four screen PIP on second Hopper 3.

    Hey all, So I know this question has been asked before, but I wanted to ask it specific to my setup. I have a mancave style setup in my garage with three 4K Joey's connected to three tv's. The good news is these are all within about 30 feet of the node and dishes. I have the extra dish to get...

    Mayweather vs. McGregor fight in 4K?

    I keep searching for this everyday and haven't got a affirmative answer on this so I figured I would post it on here and basically wonder out loud. So...I wonder if the Mayweather vs. McGregor circus...err...fight will be in 4K on Showtime Boxing PPV? You'd think something of this magnitude...

    Video blackout with Netflix and 4K Splitter

    Hi all, So I got a 4K TV about a month ago and have been having issues with the splitter I am using to split the signal from the H3 to the 4K TV and another old HDTV in another room. It first started with no audio, just video in the other room. Turned out it was the HDMI cable going from the...

    Sports app saying "upgrade" when I want to flip on a game.

    So I used to love the little sports scores app on the H3. But as of about a month ago I'd say it doesn't allow to flip on NBA LP (or now MLB Extra Innings) games that I subscribe to. It always says "upgrade" even though if I manually punch the channel number in the games are on. Anyone else have...

    Wasn't Hopper 3 supposed to have a six screen PIP feature?

    So I was thinking back to last year around March Madness basketball time when Dish, out of nowhere, launched the "Sports Bar" mode, or a four screen picture-in-picture feature for Hopper 3. And then I was thinking to CES of 2016 and wasn't it supposed to be six total screens instead of four...

    What audio channel does the "check back for HD sports programming" graphic come from?

    Does anyone know where the audio channel that plays during this graphic comes from on Dish? Maybe it's not publicly available and part of their commercial "Muzak" style offerings. It's some sort of instrumental channel. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

    IS HDR worth it?

    Hello all, I am looking to buy a 55 inch or 60 inch 4K TV to replace an old 55 inch HDTV I have. So I obviously want to get the best deal for my money and have been reading about HDR. Does anyone have an opinion on whether right now it is worth it to get a TV with HDR? In the 55 inch range they...

    Two Hopper 3's allowed on one account?

    Hi all, I know I am beating a dead horse on this one and it has been talked about before, but I figured I would ask to get the latest info. Are two Hopper 3's allowed on one account if I buy the second Hopper 3? Do they both connect to the same dish and "know" that each other one is there...

    Youtube not working on H3?

    So I don't often need to watch Youtube on my Hopper 3 but I did today and I get the Youtube logo screen and then it goes back to live TV. Tried to launch it again and the same thing. I know it did work when it first launched on Hopper 3 because I tried it out. I reset my network, the Hopper 3...

    What considered a good or even great signal strength.

    Hi all, So at the end of the August I had to get on my roof to clean out my gutters and as luck would have it my dish is right near the only place I can (safely) use a ladder to get on the roof. So I bumped into the dish slightly and ever since then I noticed I get a glitch about every 15 or 20...

    Using a splitter for three and possibly four 4k Joeys that are in the same location

    Hi all, I currently have a Hopper three in my living room and in my garage I have three 4k Joeys. These feed three tv's that are in the garage (think man cave). Anyways, they are scattered about and I am going to do some rewiring for an audio receiver and I kind of want them all right by each...

    Hi all, So my issue is that I cannot get the Hopper 3 UHF remote antenna to reach into my garage.

    No more full screen dish anywhere on iPhone 5 and 5c?

    Hi all, I have both an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 5c. And neither support full screen video on the Dish Anywhere app. It used to be you hit full screen and turned it side ways there you have it, full video filling the who phone screen. Now it is just the little video box wrapped around the channel...

    Ethernet (network) pass through on H3?

    Hi all, Without being home I just googled a picture of the H3 and see there are two Ethernet ports on the back. If I were to plug a ethernet cable into one with internet access could I then use the other as like a pass through to plug into let's say a smart TV? Right now I have a powerline set...

    PIP on 4k Joeys yet?

    I am not home and can't check, but I was wondering if picture in a picture has been activated on 4K Joeys yet? I remember reading something on here that it was going to be live at the beginning of the month. Obviously that could have been wrong info, but I was just curious.

    How do most people build a set of 7.1 (or 7.2) speakers

    Hello all, As you can see I had a previous post about building a simple 5.1 setup for my garage. I still haven't done that but am now considering doing a 7.1 setup. The question I have is you can find very few sets of 7.1 speakers and tons of 5.1 sets. Do people get the 5.1 and then just add...

    Watching MPEG4 files and others if I format a USB drive with H3

    Hello all, Last night I wanted to watch an MPEG4 or WMV file (I can't remember which) on my TV. I usually just use the TV's USB port and it works fine. But out of curiosity I plugged it into the front of the H3 and it said that the drive must be formated to work with the Hopper. Obviously I...

    Using an existing sound bar as a center channel in a 5.1 setup

    Hi all, I was wondering if there would be any downside in using an existing sound bar as the center channel in a 5.1 setup. I currently have my Vizio sound bar mounted below my TV. I was thinking I could just get RCA cables, and cut off one end and strip the cable to expose the wire then just...

    Did anyone try (successfully) to transfer shows to Hopper 3 with ethernet cable?

    So on Saturday I had the H3 installed, and wow what a cool DVR. In addition I had the three 4K Joeys and to me it is hard to find a speed difference between the two. Before I had the H3 installed I had watched most of the clutter on my DVR so didn't care about losing the shows and starting new...

    Pairing my old remotes with Hopper 3 and 4K Joeys?

    Hello all, Can someone tell me how to pair my old remotes with my Hopper 3 and 4K Joeys? I have been searching everywhere and I can't figure it out. I held system info down on 4K Joeys and nothing. I think that's how it was done with the old Joeys. Thanks, GIslands

    Hello all, First off thanks for all the help and the advice over all the years. So I have an install scheduled for Saturday with a Hopper 3 and 3 Joey 2.0's I believe. I don't currently have any 4K TV's yet. I was just wondering if the speed and processing power difference is enough between the...

    Do 4K Joeys have the new remote?

    Just curious if they come with new 52's or the older 40's? I see in the "getting started guide" which is all they have for the 4K Joeys it shows the 40's. Thanks
