It is 8:26 and Alexa is now working again. It can control my Hopper 3, report conditions from my weather station, control my Ion thermostat, report my Fitbit results, and control my SwitchBot devices. So everything is good again. I panicked earlier. I changed the thread title to reflect that...

I believe that Alexa is discontinuing the skills that worked with the Alexa app so that developers will create the skills for Alexa Plus. I had tried the Alexa Plus but I went back to normal Alexa when I discovered that Alexa Plus did not work with the Dish skill, the My Acurite skill, and the...

Alexa used to control my Dish Hopper 3 receivers. When I tried this afternoon Alexa told me my skill needed to be reactivated. I searched for Dish under Alexa skills and received the following message “This skill no longer exists” What happened? I used that skill all the time to control my...

Excellent suggestion. I changed the timer to do New and Reruns which fixed the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. The recording was skipped since it has the date 6/2/25 and of course thinks it is not a new episode. Furthermore Wed, Thurs, and Friday will all be skipped since they all show the date as 6/2/25. I called Dish technical support so that they could...

I was granted early access to Alexa +. I quickly found that the skills that worked with Alexa will not work with Alexa +. For example Alexa + will not control my Dish Hoppers. Alexa + will not work with My Acurite skill to report my weather station results. Alexa + will not control my Ion...

An interesting article describing ATSC 3.0 changing their focus from improved TV to more data where they can make more money. https://www.tvrev.com/news/from-public-trustee-to-private-courier-the-troubling-pivot-of-atsc-30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Unfortunately I failed to record NBC Nightly News tonight. With Lester Holt retiring from the broadcast NBC changed the program name to NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas. I have now changed the timer. I will miss Lester Holt. I thought he did a great job covering the news in an unbiased manner...

I found the following when searching the title: Texting "TV" to 39179 is a call to action related to the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) campaign advocating for the modernization of broadcast regulations to support local television and radio stations. Here's what you're likely doing...

I saw a commercial today on my local ABC channel 6 in Columbus, Ohio. The commercial was urging people to Text TV to 39179 to tell Washington to modernize decade old regulations that cause big Tech to make the local stations disappear. Have others seen this commercial and what specifically are...

Manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H393: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have voice over IP for my home but I definitely like that both of my Hopper 3 receivers and my Joey 3 client display caller ID. This lets me know whether I need to answer or just ignore a call while watching dish programming. I also have a cell phone but I don’t keep it tethered to me while...

Since his software is H387 he has a Hopper3. What he means by dual DVR is that pause one program, watch a different one, and go back and forth between the two programs. I also will not give up my Dish account even though streaming would be cheaper. The ease and convenience of Dish Hopper 3 is...

I missed the last part since PTAT ended at 11:01 PM and the show was delayed 20 minutes due to the NFL football game. The show doesn’t seem that interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Dish broadcast on channel 140 is 20 seconds delayed from the 540-03 broadcast. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Watching the Ohio State Notre Dame National Championship on 540-03. The picture is excellent 3840x2160 HDR. No commercials and no half time discussion. You can see the halftime OSU marching band but only at a distance and no sound. It would have been great to have a closeup view with sound of...

I continue to get attacks on both of my Hopper 3 receivers from I/P addresses located in Russia and Poland. The Armor security on my new Nighthawk RS700 router has been blocking the attacks and alerting me. I am very impressed with the Armor security. It is included for free for 1 year. I will...

I talked to Dish technical support and it is not their site so I will continue to allow Armor security to block the site. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My new Nighthawk router came with a one year free subscription to Armor security. 1) Netgear Armor detected that a suspicious remote location 185.147.124.216 attempted a connection to Living Room Hopper3 and blocked that connection. Does anyone know If that is a legitimate connection from Dish...

I kept my old Nighthawk R8000 router. I traded in my ancient Netgear 10/100 routers. I suspect that the cameras are what loaded down my R8000 router. I have Netgear Gigabit switches throughout the house and a cat6 cable running to my access point in my barn. When my WiFi speeds would drop to...

I have used a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 Router for my home network since 2015. I currently have 50 devices on my home network including Eufy cameras. Recently Spectrum upgraded my internet speed to 400 Mbps download. I could receive the 400 download speed if I connected my laptop directly to the...

Manually updated both of my Hopper 3 receivers to H385 and my Joey 3 to J585. Have not noticed any problems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have really enjoyed watching the World Series and the OSU Nebraska games on Dish 540-01. The picture (3840 x 2160 4K HDR) has been excellent. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tested the caller ID and the caller ID shows up whether caller ID is turned on or off in notifications. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PTAT has shut itself off twice in the last week on my Family Room Hopper3. Fortunately PTAT stayed on on my Living Room Hopper3. Both of my Hopper3 receivers have software version H382 since October 10th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
