    Problem with Sling DVR Recorded Content

    I'm wondering if anyone else with Sling TV is having the same problem as mine. It involved playback of the recordings I have made on the cloud DVR. I have quite a few recordings of various programs, including Stargate SG-1. The playback of all my recordings used to be very smooth. However...

    External Hard Drive

    Howdy, I'm not sure if my question is applicable to this particular forum, but it seems to be the closest one for me to try. I was a Dish Network subscriber for many years and had a 2TB exterior hard drive connected to one of my Hoppers. Over the years, I accumulated several hundred movies &...

    External Hard Drive

    I was with Dish Network for many years. A few years ago I cut the cord and am now with Dish Network's Sling TV Blue streaming service. When I was with Dish Network, I had a WD "My Book" 2 TB external hard drive connected to my Hopper and eventually amassed several hundred movies & TV...

    Amazon Fire TV Stick stuck in endless loop

    Sorry if this question has come up before. One of my Fire TV sticks started acting up after I switched all my TV equipment over from power strips to a couple new UPS units. Since then, the Fire TV stick will not boot up. It goes into an endless loop with a screen saying, "Optimizing system...

    Technical Question on Fire Stick Malfunction

    Can someone give me an idea of whether I have a bad Amazon Fire TV Stick or if it is the remote that came with it? I've had it for several months now and it always worked fine. But recently I'm finding that the right arrow and down arrow buttons on the remote are causing a problem. The...

    Multiple Reboots

    Is anyone else having reboot issues with their H3 tonight? The H3 usually updates at 1 a.m. every 2nd or 3rd night. It did its reboot last night, so I figured that would be it for a couple days. But tonight (Thursday 1 a.m.) it did another restart. And it has now done THREE MORE restarts...

    Anyone else having recording problems from new software?

    I was on the phone with Dish advanced tech support for over 3 hours last night over an issue that they helped me with last week -- and then it surfaced again last evening. I'll list all the problems down below after this brief explanation. Last week they said my software was corrupted and had...

    6.4 Remote and Hopper3

    The model 40.0 remote that I use with my Hopper3 has become defective and I happened to find an old remote 6.4 (from my dual DVR days) laying in a drawer. I'm guessing that the answer is "no," but does anyone know if a 6.4 might work with a Hopper3? Thanks much, Chuck

    U203 is in my past

    Well, I guess I'm finished offering my comments about U203. For the second time in the past 6 months, my HWS has crashed and I received a replacement HWS this afternoon. This is my THIRD HWS in the past 14 months. This time, it both crashed & burned after getting an HDD 311 error. It erased...

    Best times to find DIRT

    Dish is going to replace my HWS due to a faulty hard drive. They said to contact them after I have transferred all of my recorded content onto an EHD. I finished the transfers yesterday and began checking the Satellite Guys online helper section to see when a DIRT member comes on. I've read...

    Transferring to EHD

    I also posted this on the Dish site in hopes of getting an answer as soon as possible..... My HWS has a defective hard drive and Dish is going to be giving me a new HWS to replace it. In the meantime, I purchased an EHD to transfer tons of recorded programs to save them for the new HWS. I am...

    How many Folders with EHD?

    I am in line to have my faulty Hopper w/sling replaced with a new one after a tech visit concluded that my existing one is bad. My problem is that I have over 2,000 recordings stored on the internal hard drive that I do not want to lose. Thus, in the near future I will be purchasing a 2 TB...

    Record light does not go on

    I've noticed that, over the past couple weeks, the red recording light on my Hopper does NOT go on anymore while a recording is taking place. Sometimes the light goes on for a recording and other times it is off during a recording. Is this a possible sign of upcoming hard drive failure or just...

    2 THINGS ABOUT HOPPER DRIVING ME CRAZY

    Hi, If these two things have been covered in other threads, please forgive me. I just returned to Dish Network after several years away with other services. I just had a hopper w/sling installed yesterday and found out two things, from the technician, that were not explained very well to me...
