    EHD Throughout The House

    Thank you again for adding to the discussion. I think we all know the current capabilities, what I'm looking for is future capabilities. Once again, is this being worked on by dish for a future upgrade or is it not possible to do?

    EHD Throughout The House

    Thought I'd give this a bump. Thanks for all the replies. It seems it's definitely on a lot of people's wish list. I was hoping to get a reply from dish tech as to whether this is being worked on, or not possible at all. Just to clarify, can Hopper1 see and play the EHD on Hopper2?

    2H/2J Question?

    My setup is Hopper1/Joey1 linked and Hopper2/Joey2 linked. The hard drives in both Hoppers are available on all four boxes. The problem is, Hopper1 has an EHD attached that is only recognized by Hopper1/Joey1. The EHD does not appear on the Hopper2/Joey2 boxes. Is this normal? Is there a fix?

    Save series for show in prime time?

    Am I doing this right? I hit save series for certain shows in prime time. This set up a separate timer on a separate tuner for those shows. What a waste of a tuner if the show is recording on two tuners at the same time. I deleted the timer, now I'm forced to remember to save to DVR after...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Getting Hopper and two Joeys tomorrow. I've been looking for answers for hours using search, and scrolling the mountains of pages on the site, and I'm still confused. I found this explanation from dish, and it is confusing. It states in one sentence there are 3 tuners and then follows in the...

    Dish online access - no slngbox

    Thanks thechaz. I wasn't going to reply because the response started characterizing me as misinformed or hallucinating. The facts are: I do not have a sling adaptar. I do have a 722K I am connected to broadband. On Sunday 10/30/2011 I connected to my home DVR from my computer at work. I saw my...

    Dish online access - no slngbox

    Thanks Zach. How do you account for the fact that I was able to watch DVR shows up till a few days ago, and now I can't. It tries to sell me a sling adaptar.

    Dish online access - no slngbox

    I have a 722K without a sling adaptar. I have been remotely accessing my DVR through Dish online for quite awhile and watching full recorded programs. Within the last few days when I go online to access my DVR and try to watch a show, I get a prompt telling me I need a sling adaptar. The site...

    Dish Online Can't Play DVR Programs

    I've been watching my recorded DVR programs without a sling box for quite a while. All of a sudden when I try to access my DVR recorded shows from my work computer, a prompt tells me I need a sling box. What's the deal? It worked before, but not now. :confused:

    poll june 12th the dtv transition date what will happen

    All the ads the stations are running reminding us of the switch all say we should re-scan after the switch. Does this mean the stations are going to switch frequencies for the digital signals they already are broadcasting?

    sound dropping for a second?

    Just started having the audio drops a few weeks ago on my dvr playback on local ABC and FOX. These are the only stations that broadcast their digital signal on the vhf band. Coincidence or the underlying problem?

    Dish Network MPEG4 & Programming Updates

    With E*'s obvious disappointment with the initial performance of MPEG4 in testing, and their announcement of turbo MPEG2, I am going to wait and see what format new HD content is in. With the new HD content up in test mode it shouldn't be long. From a marketing point of view, they should add...

    Fcc Approves Transfer Of Voom Satellite!

    Any token MPEG2 HD offerings will depend on whether the MPEG4 receivers are ready in a warehouse somewhere, and the quantity of them. If E* can roll out MPEG4 with any significant impact, don't count on any token offerings. If the rollout is mostly lipservice then a token offering may be the...

    Fcc Approves Transfer Of Voom Satellite!

    I know E* is known for saying one thing and doing another, but don't expect any more HD in MPEG2. The space is being made for MPEG4. By slowly introducing MPEG4 on the wings (61.5 and 129), there will be no interruption of the already existing service in MPEG2. If they add HD programming in...

    MPEG4 Speculation Thread

    I, like many of you out there, am anxiously awaiting MPEG4. I thought I would throw my thoughts out as to how this will roll out. I think the approval of the Rainbow1 sale will be announced soon. This will be followed by the MPEG4 announcement in the November Charlie Chat. MPEG4 will be made...

    DVR Install Question...

    The dpp44 switch and the use of combiners and separators will allow you to use one cable to the receiver to carry all the signals. Two signals to the receiver and one back out to the other set all through one cable. Pretty neat, huh....
