    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    Ok, well it's been a week since I opened it up and blew out what little dust there was and cleaned the fan. It hasn't messed up one time since then! I never did get any over-heat errors or messages before but for whatever reason, it appears to be working normally now. Is it possible that it...

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    H387 actually, but who's counting. You are exactly where I am with this so there are still some of us out there! LOL. I think folks who never had a hopper3 just don't realize it's not the same as simply using an online DVR at a streaming site. Yeah, I have also noticed DISH has much more...

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    So I opened up the hopper3 and blew out the dust, cleaned the fan, and reinstalled the unit on risers so it has better airflow underneath. It wasn't really that dirty truthfully but the fan had been running very slowly almost continuously but now it only comes on for a couple seconds at start up...

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    No sir, I know exactly what I have LOL, but I've always referred to being able to pause one channel then switch to another and go back and forth seamlessly between the two as the "dual DVR" feature for some reason. I think it was marketed as such at some point but it always stuck with me.

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    Ahhh ok. I get it. Heck I've been called old fashioned by the younger folk because we still have satellite and DVD's in the age of streaming and digital media. I mean, I stream stuff too but like I said, I really don't want to give up my dual DVR when the net monthly cost if I switched to...

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    Ok I was under the impression DISH only sent out reconditioned units and I thought the Hopper 3's I saw on SolidSignal were new, but I guess not. Makes more sense then to just get another one from DISH if I can do it without them hammering me into another long term contract. Been with them for...

    Bad HDD or Bad Hopper 3?

    Ok guys, so before I have to contact and deal with DISH, I am trying to troubleshoot if I have a hard drive issue or an issue with the Hopper 3 itself. Hopper 3, about 8 years old I believe, no Joeys. I did replace a failed hard drive about 5-6 years ago. Current software is H387. No error...

    Power line Interference?

    Hello All. New to the forum but not a noob. I'm in Northeast, Ohio (Akron area). I do have a question though about overhead electrical lines and if that poses any potential signal interference issues. I have to move my 1000.2 due to tree growth (can't just trim the trees) and the only place I...
