    I just got U703 on my HWS

    703 released Aug 3 seems to have finally fixed trick play from one HWS to another! Yea!

    Hopper 2 Hopper trick play. Fix in what year?

    So what other "issues" do you have? I would think breaking trick play would be worse.

    $10 HBO going away???

    The merger is no surprise because the Sirius/XM merger went through with no problem. The only two satellite radio companies merged so now there is no competition. This is what happens when a country is run by corporations and the lawmakers they pay off. This is what happens when the lawmakers...

    Hopper 2 Hopper trick play. Fix in what year?

    Ok, so the Hopper to Hopper trick play (ff, rw, pause, etc) fix is "Soon". I guess in Dish lingo, that means "in a year or two." Perhaps its long enough this should be a sticky. I'm getting REALLY frustrated.

    U249

    Nothing I noticed. The most important thing to be fixed, trick play between hoppers, is still broken. First thing I check.

    One Hopper 3 vs two Hopper 2s and 2 Joeys

    Our current setup is fast becoming untenable, with my wife on my case to do something. We currently have two Hopper 2s with Sling and two Joeys. The Hoppers are getting slower and slower and the Hopper's interoperability is basically broken, we don't watch commercials. If I go to one Hopper 3...

    Can no longer watch shows DVR'd on our 2nd Hopper and vice versa

    Same issue here. When trying to fast forward a recording on the other hopper instead of going 30 seconds, it might be one or two seconds. I hit the button 60 times and it still wasn't through the commercial break. When pausing, it pauses for one second and then starts playing again. When...

    HWS DVR glitch

    Don't just red button reset, hard reset by unplugging AC from wall for a few minutes. Mine was doing that and I reset several times to no avail, I think its back to OK after hard reset.

    Hopper losing recordings

    Mine was doing the black screen and other problems, until I did a hard reset by unplugging from AC for a couple minutes. Its undoubtedly the software update causing the problems.

    Hopper With Sling Software Version S328

    Just my luck A couple months ago I get a technology device that actually works well and then they do an update and mess it up. Just my luck. I've had most of the issues others describe, except I haven't had the need for an EHD yet. I had to red button one HWS 3 times last night, and one of...

    Hopper with Sling Internals Information

    I've wondered what's in there. What's the gold circuit board opposite of the HD? Pretty sure its the PS. Do these run linux of some sort?

    Is spraying wd40 on the dish and metal pieces fine?

    Dish installer told me to spray WD40 on dish to shed snow. Although it does not snow that much in Albuquerque, and probably less on the Big Island :)

    Blu Tooth Headphones

    So far I've only had the audio sync problem that one time, and it was pretty bad. Perhaps its a random problem, or perhaps its that Showtime channel, I have not watched it again since. Interestingly I have 2 Hoppers within bluetooth range of each other, I just need to pair with the one I want...

    Blu Tooth Headphones

    Kinivo BTH240 I purchased the Kinivo BTH240 headphones through Amazon for $30. Used them for the 1st time this morning at 2am when I couldn't sleep. They paired easily with the Hopper, and worked well with SD programming on MeTv. However, Showtime HD had a sound delay of over a half-second or...

    Dish Hopper getting 5 bad reviews to 1 good review

    Being an IT specialist, I definitely see how most people abhor change or learning different ways to do things. Switching TV providers or equipment falls into this category, and I think that's one reason for many poor reviews. Another is sales reps misstating features, like the one who told me...

    What don't you like about the Hopper

    I keep an antenna on my TV so I can switch if I'm out of tuners or lose the satellite (and formerly cable) signal, therefore its easy to do a comparison of the picture quality of dish vs real ota. Dish ota looks like it's compression is high... higher than my Comcast was. Definitely less sharp...

    HDCP copy protection restricts a show on Joey

    Last night at a Joey we tried to watch USA's Covert Affairs recorded on the Hopper. We received an hdcp copy protection message and couldn't watch it. "The receiver has detected that the HD television or the digital connection to the TV does not support HDCP copy protection. Because this...

    Our current Hopper has Sling built-in, it actually works very well, I can watch a program or recording on the iPad with headphones while the better half has control of the TV. Installers are coming this afternoon to bring the 2nd Hopper, which is an extra $5 per month and $15 install fee. DIRT...
