Today I found one of my Hoppers' hard drive has crashed. All of my recorded programmings from last few months are gone! This is actually the *second time* that the hard drive has crashed on my Hopper. I immediately called DISH and asked to speak to Advance Tech Support as they're the team...

I've done some research that DISH doesn't even activate these receivers anymore.... I don't see any listing on Ebay either. One of them is still brand new sealed. I suppose I can take the hard drive out and use them on my computer?

http://www.dish.com/entertainment/music/ It's listing Classic Pops.. which was removed on July 17th. It DOES lists Venus...new channel added on Channel 3. It does not list Y2K Country on the web..it's on DISH satellite. It's does not have Utopia (Channel 55).. the new channel that was...

I was able to make a backup/clone of my 2TB external hard drive to another 2TB using the hard drive duplicator. All shows seem to play fine. I have not tried adding any new shows to it. Has anyone also done it as well? Is there any technical problem with using the back up drive (since I'm...

It's been years since I was called by the audit team. It was not a pleasant experience. I have a 2-Hopper and 1 Joey setup for a long time and had not been bothered by the audit team. If I add another Joey for the 2nd Hopper (making it total of 4 'receivers'), will I be audited? I...

My roommate is getting her own place and will also get DISH/Hopper service. However, she does not want to lose her hours of DVR programs. Dumping everything to external hard drive won't work since her new Hopper will have different account number and the hard drive won't be recognized. Anyway...

MTV is doing a "Teen Wolf" marathon next week. Instead of setting 12 timers from the program guide, does the Hopper has Maximum manual recording time restriction if I want to do a single continuous recording of 12 1-hour episodes? I remember trying to do a similar manual recording for "The...

Just upgraded both of my Hoppers to Hoppers with Sling. I was told previously that Ethernet should only be connected to ONE Hopper. I replicated that set up for the new model. However, the receiver without the Ethernet connection doesn't seem to be connecting to DishAnywhere. So to...

I lost half of the programs from the VIP722 when I tried to restore them to my Hopper last year (error 04 I believe). Now I'm upgrading again from the original Hopper to the one with Sling. Should I be afraid to restore the program back from the EXT HD to the Hopper with Sling?

I'm getting ready to upgrade to the new Hopper with Sling by unloading all the recorded shows from the Hopper 1.0 to an external hard drive. But the strange thing is, the show listing stops at perhaps 40% of the shows. I can tell that's where the scroll bar stops on the right hand side and...

I received a robo call from DISH today regarding a billing correction/issue regarding the recently received 'replacement Joey". Did anyone receive the same call? What does it mean exactly?

I delegated OTA recordings to my HD Tivo's when Hopper didn't have OTA (to get better picture quality). Now the OTA module is out, I think the OTA's picture quality is a little 'soft' compared to that of the Tivo's OTA turner. It's an definite improvement over the satellite delivered...

I hooked up 3 Joey's via one 3-way splitter.. they seems to work OK.. until I go into the Setup Menu - Whole Home and there it doesn't see the 3rd Joey. Why is that?

I made a mistake by activating two Joey's with one single remote. Now the other remote won't work with either Joey. In the VIP days, I could just find out what the remote code is and change the remote code either on the receiver or the remote. Can I do the same for Joey?

Has anyone tried plugging the EHD to Joey for playback? Would it work without active connection to the 'mother Hopper'? If so, the Joey can be a portable media player while travelling!

I have 2 722K receivers I need to ship out..can I call someone at DISH to request the empty boxes for them?

I thought with the new 213 software, you can watch all the shows recording on the other Hopper? I want to utilize one Hopper to record Prime Time anytime. I remember there was a Green option to change the source of recordings. That has disappeared?

If I have 4 of the scheduled recordings from networks or stations on the same Transponder, why can't DISH allow 6 recordings at once all the time besides Primetime?

I'm curious how does the Joey receives the Authorization hit and/or software update since it has no satellite receiver built in? If I only have Ethernet connection without the coaxial cable, would it receive the 'hit'? Also, if I were to bring the Joey to a buddy's place with Hopper, would...

I'd like to upgrade to Hopper/Joey system but don't want to lose the OTA sub-channel recording ability. The solution would be to get a secondary account with the cheapest possible package so my purchased 722 receiver would be used for the OTA purpose. Should I get: Welcome Package: $15...

I understand that Dish won't allow the VIP receivers to be on the same account as the Hopper/Joey system. What if I were to open another VIP-only account and use the existing Joey/Hopper Outlet(s).. Would the hardware be compatible?

I've tried taking my dish receiver to a vacation home where there's no satellite connection. While I can watch the DVR content but when I tried to watch what's on the external hard drive, it says it must be activated? When I got home.. the external hard drive is working fine with the...

This week a tech replaced my old DPP-44 with a newer type DPP-44 that apparently doesn't need the AC-inserter between the switch and receiver #1. He claims the new model doesn't need the AC switch. Sure enough I took out the old power inserter and the signal strength did not go down. But...

Am thinking about getting a 922 but worried about the lack of manual record function. There are many local OTA channels that carries ethnic programming that I would like to record. However, there's no guide info as it just says "Digital Programming". I know there's a way of setting up...
