    Home media mp4 fixed U307

    I didn't have a chance to test with the U307 but got U308 today. I am able to play mp4's now. Was frustrated that I couldn't pause the playback when I accidently hit the back arrow next to the select button. It brought up a menu at the bottom of the screen with a pause symbol as one of the...

    Folders Limit? Is There or Isn't There?

    I've got the same issue, but in my case I have 6 that survive the reboot. I've added the extra folders many times. One reboot was when I attached an OTA tuner. Another was when I got the black box in the middle of the screen. Another was when I rebooted on purpose to test the folders. Every...

    Hopper 3 - What 3 Things Would You Change?

    1. In the guide, move the description of the program to either the top or bottom of the screen. I don't like the description on the side. 2. On the Home Media, go to the Device List tab first instead of the introduction tab. 3. Allow creating folders on the External Hard Drive.

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    I've had my H3 since sunday. Very pleased with the No tuner conflicts. I think the biggest compliment that I can give the H3 is that it no longer feels new. New electronic toys usually take a while to get used to how they work. With the H3 I have been using the new remote. At first I...

    Did you constantly give your installer advice since it was his first time? ;)

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    I have a manual timer that auto tunes to one of the music channels. By the time I turn on the tv and av receiver it is already past the Home Screen and playing music.

    While you are watching a recorded show or something you are recording press the select button. You get several options. 1 will be the Stop option. The new interface uses Select and Options a lot.

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    We want to hear how about your ordering experience! I was in the waiting list thread but when I saw the post last night saying it was best to call or chat, I decided to use the chat. I was upgrading from 2 Hopper w/Sling and 2 Joeys. Initially I was told $95 for the tech fee and free upgrade...

    H3 Home Media

    The 29 Gb size should be the size of the movie on the disc. The passthrough mode is a lossless mode. I typically use MP4 for DVDs and M2ts for Blu-Rays. Age of Ultron as an m2ts is 6.7Gb. Iron Man 1 as an MP4 is 3.5Gb. The mkv file that I did was just for a test. I would be close to...

    H3 Home Media

    Obviously, I don't have a Hopper 3 yet, but I did some testing with my sling Hopper. I've been using the m2ts format for Blu-Rays. I decided to try for a mkv. I use DVDFab 9. Using the Blu-Ray of Avengers Age of Ultron I did a MKV passthrough. It made the file in just under an hour and the...

    DISH 2016 CES Press Event

    Something I have been wondering about ever since pictures of the new UI started showing up. Is the Home Media function still going to be on the new Hopper? I have all of my DVD/Blu-Rays ripped to a media server and the whole family uses that feature a lot.

    Multiple hoppers and unified DVR list

    This would be great! I use my hopper 99% of the time. Occasionally, I am in the room where my wifes hopper is. I have set it to record some movies, then later on I forgot that I set them on the second hopper and can't find them anywhere on my hopper.

    Dish Network and Netflix

    I agree with this. I used to sub to Netflix but I was the only one that used it. Wife and kids turn on the tv and use the Dish remote. They never change the input on the tv so they never watched Netflix. If Dish adds an app to the hopper/joeys for Netflix I will start subscribing to Netflix...

    Hopper DNLA preferred settings, formats, servers

    I am using a program called Any Video Converter Ultimate to rip my DVDs. When I am done with the DVDs I will research a program to rip my Blu-Ray discs. I've ripped almost 200 discs using the MP4 format. I have not had any problems playing them back with the Hoppers. My camcorder records...

    Sony audio receiver won't work with hopper remote

    Not sure if this will help. When I first got my hoppers and joeys installed we could not get the remote to work with my Pioneer Audio Receivers. Tried multiple times. I finally Selected Audio Amplifier and it has worked ever since.

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    I'm in a similiar situation only I have 2 Hoppers and 3 Joeys. 1 Hopper and all 3 Joeys got the new software. So we have 4 people trying to share 1 Hopper. My understanding is the upgrades happen in stages based on the receiver number and there is no way to force an update.

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    They are both similiar numbers. The reason the first hopper got the new software is one of the original hoppers I got on Nov 9th had a bad hard drive. It got replaced the next Monday which is when the new software was being released. New install got the new software. I'm not upset by the...

    Hopper S229 / S230 Feedback!

    I have 2 Hoppers and 3 Joeys. Got them installed 2 weeks ago today. One of the Hoppers got the new software the first day it was released. The next day all 3 Joeys got the new software. The other Hopper still hasn't gotten the new version. I don't mind waiting for the new features on the...

    Preferred Hopper/Joey install setup

    2 Hoopers/3 Joeys is what I am looking at. While we wouldn't use 6 all of the time, we would need more than 3. We have 2 kids and are unlikely to be watching the same show. As it is currently, we have 4 receivers for a total of 8 tuners. Using PTAT will make up for losing 2 tuners.

    What hopper features are you most excited about?

    DLNA is something that I am looking forward to. We have years of digitial pictures and camcorder videos. We will be able to watch them on the TV instead of a computer monitor.

    Scott's Hopper Thoughts

    That is what I am seeing. I currently lease 4 receivers for a total of 8 tuners, feeding 4 tvs. A coax split feeds my office tv but with the way I have things setup the office has to watch whatever is on in the living room. Total fees are $36. If I go with 2 Hoopers and 3 Joeys my fees go...
