I was using a Hopper 3 to watch the latest episode of WestWorld on my LG OLED television and was very disappointed with the impossible to ignore compression artifacts on dark scenes. The huge black/gray blobs on the screen were very distracting. Is there anything that I can do about this other...

I'm preparing for my Hopper 3 upgrade so I'm transferring everything I haven't watched on my Hopper 1 to an external HD. Most shows got copied but there are a few shows that appear in the My Recordings list but don't show up in the transfer list. I did notice that most of the missing items...

I want to search for movies to record on my Hopper. The way I do things now is painful but sorta works. My questions are: A) Will this be easier on the Hopper 3? B) Is there a better way to make this work on my Hopper 1? The way I do things now is to press the search button, clear the...

I've recently started to see a problem between my Hopper and my Sony SXRD set. I turn on the set and get no picture on the TV. After trying a number of things the reliable workaround I found is unplugging and re-plugging the HDMI cable on the back of the TV set. I think this means it's an...

S423 has a nice speed improvement but it doesn't address a major annoyance. Search needs to remember its position after you return from setting a timer for an event with multiple showtimes. Currently it returns to the top of a fairly slowly scrolling list. Here are the steps I'm describing...

Do I need service? Story follows: My hopper was acting a bit weird last night. Changing selection on the recordings screen was noticeably slower so I figured it was time for a reboot. It was recording a program so I decided to wait. I checked to make sure it was recording The Walking Dead...

Last night the Hopper had the red recording light on but I couldn't get it to respond to the power button. I tried both the remote and the front panel. Finally I hit the orange reset button, figuring I could at least watch what was recorded up to the reset. As it turns out there was nothing...

I'm trying to get my Hopper connected to my Windows computer using the Windows Media Server but I can't seem to make it work. I go to the Extender screen on the Windows computer and it tells me to enter 8 digits that are supposed to show up on the TV. On the Hopper side, it shows my Computer...

I've noticed that Hopper will lose audio on all SD channels. It's happened 4 times so far with no pattern that I can detect. I don't usually watch SD so I usually discover it when I go to play a recorded SD program. When the Hopper is in that state, live SD programs have no audio either. I...

I don't have sound on any of the Encore channels. Other channels sound fine, these are just silent. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm recording at the moment so I can't reset my Hopper to see if it's on the fritz...

The Hopper is a great new product but can be made better. Please contribute features you would like to see added to the Hopper. Please keep the suggestions software related so changes could be rolled out to existing hopper customers. Add "Start Over" button when playback of a show is...

This thread is to educate new Hopper owners about some of the unusual behavior of the unit. Stuff that wasn't covered by installer. Searching for shows in the program guide won't work for the first 24 hours. Type a name and it says "No Matches" no matter what. When working normally, you'll...

I just got upgraded to a Hopper from a 722k. I also had an external disk where I had archived many movies. Now, when I try to play a movie recorded from Epix I get a message about not being subscribed to that channel! :eek: I started a chat session with Dish who didn't think the DVR was...

I wish that timers had a checkbox for "Don't record episodes with no program data". Some networks like to spam entire season recaps without program data (Ninja Warrior) and it fills up the DVR at an annoying rate. Some series I want to be sure I don't miss anything so assuming a program with no...

I got a postcard in the mail today about a special offer so Dish customers don't miss Breaking Bad. Three operators later I finally got someone who knew about the deal. They offer a $30 credit so you can buy the series from Amazon streaming. It turns out you need Xbox live gold to watch amazon...

My recording of Dexter last night had two significant audio dropouts that lasted for several seconds. Even more frustrating is that even the closed captioning failed to show any intelligible text. Isn't there something that can be done about this? It has been going for far too long. :rant:

I find that I need to do a hard reset of my 722k on about a weekly basis to keep it running normally. If I don't, I end up with a black screen for playback. (Already reported in another thread.) The point is, I pretty much had to to the same thing on the 622 or it had other issues. Come to...

While watching the show "Bones" I noticed that the skin tones looked almost orange at times. I started to get worried that my TV set was going but shows on other networks look normal. I'm in the Chicago area. Is anyone else seeing odd skin tones on Fox?

Just the past week I'm seeing programs getting recorded that are months old even though the timer is set to "New". I understand this happens when there is no episode information but these had full episode and original air date information.

How do I transfer my timers between DVRs? I'm on my third DVR in two months and manually re-entering timers is quite annoying. :rant: Even worse is the shows now on summer break so they aren't in the program guide so I can't even create a timer. Hopefully I'll remember to add the timer again...

The past few days I've been seeing some odd behavior on my DVR. The audio and video stops playing on the unit both on live and recorded TV. I still get menus and the unit is responsive but nothing plays back. If an event is being recorded when this happens it still records successfully...

I've recently been seeing a problem where every few minutes I see a flash on the screen. It looks like the image is shifted to the right but just for one frame. At first I was seeing it on ABC but now I see it on Fox as well. I rewound and played it back in slow-mo so it was recorded that way...

Recently I've seen something really odd with the "jump back" button on my remote. Normally clicking this button rewinds about 3 seconds or so. Last night when I clicked it, the show went FORWARDS three seconds. Later when I tried it on a different show it worked correctly again. Anyone...

I'm eagerly awaiting the new season of BattleStar Galactica this Friday. Fortunately I was checking the upcoming scheduled recordings and discovered that BSG was NOT going to be recorded! Check your timers! :eek: My existing timer was set to record New episodes. I used the channel guide to...

Just recently I've been seeing some disturbing behavior on my new 722. The audio volume suddenly disappears completely. I was watching a recorded program with normal volume and then I switched to resume another recording. The resumed recording suddenly had ZERO volume. This was particularly...
