    I need info on new hopper plus

    Today is the big day! And I still don't have H325 on my Hopper 3 yet, even after trying again to force the update. :( I already have one. ;)

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    Once again, here is another person who was affected by these changes, seemingly with no notice: So, Josh, once again I ask for at least a list of the next round of upcoming markets to be transitioned, if not an exact timetable, so that we may help give people more of a heads-up about exactly...

    The Uplink Report - September 2022

    Have you tried the SD feeds' four-digit channel numbers in the 6570's? When Dish is transitioning the MPEG-2 SD locals, they will usually remove the mapdown to the local channel numbers. However, they leave the feeds uplinked and active on the four-digit numbers for a few weeks, to give people...

    You said "menus," "all," and "consistent." The new devices (that we are discussing in this thread) have new menus and a new interface, specifically an Android interface that allows you to add your own apps from the Google Play store. (The Apps screen is also part of the Menu system, and an...

    Well, good, then that means the brand-new Wally Plus is right around the corner, right? :crowdbounce

    I need info on new hopper plus

    Yeah, but Scott also said that the head of the Android team also wants this to happen: Scott seems to paint this in a pessimistic light, as if it is not likely to happen. Now, I am not familiar with the way the Android Team is structured, but I would think that the head of the team would have...

    Hopper Plus MultiView

    Wally has always had both of those, plus a Spanish-language sports version (completely different sports channels) on channel 853. This sounds like yet another case of something that is available on Wally, but is not (or was not) available with the Hopper Plus.

    Hopper Plus MultiView

    "These are not the droids you are looking for..." (Yes, I have used that line before, and no it never stops being funny.) :biggrin

    "...not a high priority" is not the same thing as "not even on the list of priorities." It is all about semantics. ;)

    I used to get the same thing on my Wally, right before Gallery was removed from Wally. Perhaps going forward, the Gallery app will require the Google Play store?

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    Those channels 9, 10, 12, etc. that you see now are the SD feeds that are going away. The HD feeds would have an "HD" symbol on the left side of the box to the left in the guide, next to the channel number. Since you don't have signal from the 129 satellite, I would guess that either you have...

    But Scott seemed more pessimistic about it. As in, "not fully compatible and never will be." With the insight provided by Peter Parker's source, at least we know that making the 40.0 compatible is a priority. Just not a high one. As in, "the kind of thing we will see eventually, just don't...

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    Did I miss a bunch of posts? This thread is for people with legacy receivers who are being forced to upgrade their Dish equipment due to the MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 migration. Nothing about the H+ in it. :imconfused

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    That's where they are now. You should see those HD feeds on those channel numbers and/or on the local mapdown channel numbers. (9-00, 10-00, etc.) If you do not see the HD local channels in either channel range, that explains why you are getting the upgrade message. Are you sure you have the...

    Not too late in the morning, or you may have long hold times on the phone. Try to call right as soon as the Customer Support center opens, around 9:00 AM Eastern time.

    Well, that answers my question. At least as a purchase, there is no commitment required. I'll wait for the price to come down.

    Wrong thread? This would be a good one for the sticky 40.0 thread, though. Thanks!

    What if you try putting the thumb drive in another USB port on the Hopper, rather than trying to figure out some way to connect it directly (though still indirectly) to the Hopper Plus?

    You didn't even need to say that. Dish's own website about these devices clearly says that. https://my.dish.com/support/receivers/androidtv "The USB-C cable that comes with the Hopper Plus cannot be exchanged for a longer cable" It also still says "Multi-View Coming Soon" ;)

    Dish Network equipment upgrade message

    In littleboss's case, it looks like the replacement is not even necessary. I would say wait and see what happens. It is not like you need to get the equipment switched out before the MPEG-2 locals go away, to take advantage of the free equipment offer. If littleboss actually loses any local...

    I need info on new hopper plus

    Now it is my turn to apologize for not explaining my question correctly. I was asking about the space taken up in the Hopper's internal memory for the apps that are built into the Hopper. (The ones that do not require the Plus.) I was curious if the 8GB total in the Plus is consistent with...

    I need info on new hopper plus

    A software version that is not quite ready for public release, but goes out to a larger pool of people than the usual testers. Usually this pool includes other Dish employees that are not beta testers. Since several people here already have it, this one seems to be out in the wild to some...

    I'll simply add to this: ...all types of Joeys that your Hopper model actually supports. For example, a Hopper 3 is never going to show software for a Super Joey.

    That's how they get you to add multiple Joeys to the same TV. Then, you simply switch inputs to go to a different Joey loaded with different apps. Think of the additional receiver fees! :devilish
