    ZigBee?

    I didn’t find this helpful regarding if RF4CE remotes can relay their signal through a standard ZigBee mesh. https://zigbeealliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/ZigBee_WP_2014_09_08_ZigBee_WhitePaper_Understanding-ZigBee-RF4CE.pdf

    ZigBee?

    It would cut down the range depending on implementation. But the voice command, something I doubt use, would work better. I found this in a press release from 12 years ago: - ZigBee RF4CE using a proprietary protocol remote with “remote control finder” alert Do you know Scott if the ZigBee...

    ZigBee?

    Please do not hijack the thread. I was hoping someone would know a specific answer. This isn’t a discussion of Matter in any way.

    ZigBee?

    https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/dish-joey-in-a-metal-outbuilding-which-antenna-port.400501/post-4740664 They talk about remote using ZigBee protocol

    ZigBee?

    Some other threads mention they use ZigBee which means the theoretical max number of remotes you can link to one hopper is in the thousands but the hopper software probably couldn’t and who would test that? I do know I successfully linked 8 remotes to the hopper 3 without issue.

    ZigBee?

    Just a quick question. If the Dish Remotes use the ZigBee protocol, will remote range be extended by installing ZigBee devices that act as repeaters? Has anyone had success doing this? I broadcast my Hopper 3 and Joey 3 throughout the house, and the Hopper has better remote range due to the...

    Is Dish dropping Hopper+?

    Dish no longer mentions the Hopper+ on their website, in their comparison table, etc. is it a dead product?

    H364 is here

    I hate this. i am so mad. Skip forward takes 8 seconds! Skip back takes 5 seconds! My H3 has rebooted 3 times. I thought the last version where pressing skip back 10s once actually went forward or if you pressed too many too quickly it went to the beginning was bad, but this new version is...

    Hopper 3 Software Version H315 Updated 2/16/2022

    So how many weeks in now and it’s hit or miss if the EHD shows up. No intervention on my part can resolve it. Since my unit resets every day on its own whatever time it feels like it (been that way for years) it will either show up with the EHD or not. If it’s not there, I can’t make it come...

    New H3 software

    My once rock solid EHD now comes and goes with 316. Thanks Dish.

    Hopper 3 Software Version H315 Updated 2/16/2022

    Okay, so gone again. It’s like 2018 all over again. Except this time it’s with a much more reliable drive. Thanks dish.

    Hopper 3 Software Version H315 Updated 2/16/2022

    Well I didn’t intervene anymore after failing multiple times but after 3 days the EHD issue resolved itself. Go figure.

    Hopper 3 Software Version H315 Updated 2/16/2022

    Will have to go that route. So annoying as for over a year, just a system reboot would fix it if it happened to disappear after the nightly reboot, or at most an EHD physical reconnect every few months. Now we are back to the “unplug” everything solutions?

    Hopper 3 Software Version H315 Updated 2/16/2022

    Well, it’s H316 now installed on my box yesterday and I lost my EHD which had been rock solid (by dish standards) for over a year. Thanks Dish!

    Hopper 3 U543 released

    Just recieved U544 this morning. Anyone know shst it adds? Usually my EHDs don’t show after nightly soft reboot and I have to unplug hopper. They are there after U544 update, but might just be because upgrades are like a power cycle.

    Charlie Chat Recap 10-12-09

    Well in the Q&A, 922 status was updated. Not before mid-November, shooting for pre-Christmas. Anyone who's followed Dish over the years knows that means THEY HAVE NO IDEA because the software is too buggy. Could be 2 months, 6 or 12... :(

    TIVO vs E*

    If the ruling stands, it makes TiVo a defacto monopoly codified by the courts. As a monopoly, they can NOT refuse to license their product to Dish nor charge more for it without Dish having an anti-trust claim against TiVo. That's the last thing TiVo wants.

    In-laws 722 installed with composite to HDTV

    And the picture will be fine. Seeing the difference between component and hdmi/dvi connections from a Dish box with highly compressed HD content would take a very large TV and very good eyes.

    NICK HD ,SYNC ?

    yep, I mentioned this on the uplink thread. Nick HD is off. very similar to some of the pay movie channels. I record movies, they are out of sync. using a 622, don't see this issue on the rest of the channels. No excuse for this. Not hard to get it right. :confused: and here's a...

    ALL VIACOMS HD ARE ON !!!

    Nick HD out of sync Like certain movie channels on Dish, Nick HD is out of sync (voice to pic) on my 622. About as annoying as the Cartoon Network "HD" channel that is just a justified stretch of their SD channel, which means there's no way to make the picture look correct on any TV if it's a...

    Picture will freeze & skip

    this happens on the 622, 522, 722, etc. On my current 622, it happens once in a while live, more often on a recorded show. It happens far more often when the disk is recording something else at the time (or stopping a recording, or starting one) It's a minor issue to me. If I truly missed...

    Help! Expensive Error Message!

    No offense, but it sounds like you think you know what you are doing but don't, which makes it harder to trouble shoot. Despite "doing this stuff all the time" you need to be more descriptive about what you are trying to accomplish, what is coming from where, etc. For example, how was he...

    Do you agree/Disagree how Dish Network Handle the Voom Massacre?

    The thing about VOOM is/was that it had to be a temporary solution anyway. It was created to give people HD when the rest of the entertainment world was dragging it's heals on that front. Now, most channels are going HD, the digital transition on broadcast is in less than a year, and having...
