In some of the other threads some posters are saying that the issue is that the 4K Joey can't do HDR and that is why it is not showing up. If that is true, I am not sure how I feel about it. It seems extremely odd that the Hopper 3 can display the content but not the 4K Joey. As odd as this is...

Yes, I am very familiar with HDR - in fact my 2016 Samsung 4K TV is fully capable of HDR and does well with the 4K Blurays that I play on it. I am having an issue where I can't even see the channel on my guide (looking at ALL channels). That is the issue.

I am having the same problem with my Joey 4K. The TV is a 2016 Samsung 4k with HDR. I haven't had issues watching the little 4k content on 540 that we've had in the past, so it seems something else is going on.. Tim

Any 4k programming is good, although I wish they had included Premier League as well. Thanks, Tim

To top things off, some of the Premier League games will only be shown on SD (NBC Sports Extra Channels starting at channel 875). I suppose it is better than not having the games, but Directv carries all of the games in HD (some even in 4K) as does Comcast (although watching some of the games is...

I have a problem with the same ad being shown during every break. Marketing companies tell businesses that they have to do this nonsense so that consumers remember the ad content. What they should be doing is producing better ads and running them less often. Heck, I've brought up the guide and...

I disagree with you on this. Marketing companies tell businesses that it is important to show commercials more times because it gets the message to consumers. The party benefitting here is the marketing company. If you really want to know what is effective, you can't depend on the marketing...

That has to happen at some point, right? I know that Dish is the "budget" service and Directv does better with 4K and sports, but Dish has to catch up to one step behind. I think we went through this with HD channels years ago. Thanks, Tim

Yes, I understand that I am being optimistic (and am also talking about concurrent capabilities). If I had thought about this when the BBC Series Planet Earth II was being aired, I would have checked the tuners in use then. I wasn't around when the olympics were televised in 4k on Dish. I was...

I know this is probably way optimistic, but does anyone have an idea of how many 4k satellite recordings the Hopper 3 can perform at once (and how many tuners are used)? Thanks, Tim

julesism, one problem I run into occasionally is that the spanish version of the EPL recording will match and not the english version (Telemundo or some other channel). It is even more problematic on the La Liga games on BeIn Sports. I've went into the schedule to modify it only to have it redo...

Yes, this is a huge pain. This goes for not only the Red Devils, but my La Liga teams, Bundesliga, etc. Then you have to also worry about Champions League games being missed, Europa League, etc. Dish can't fix this fast enough for me. I haven't had Dish for very long (and I am in a 2 year...

I am having the same problem with my timers for soccer teams. I hope they fix this soon :-( Tim

I had a problem yesterday with non-PTAT shows (Champions League Games on FS1/FS2). The shows were listed as recorded in the schedule (during the time they should be recording), but didn't show up in manage recordings. I had them saved to a folder (Soccer) and it showed a sub folder for the...

I also am not having any problems with the non-sports related seek timers.. Tim

So there is a little progress. I can now setup timers for Arsenal and Liverpool, however it looks like they are linked to teams in South America instead of the English Premier League (which has the most viewership in the US) - so they won't actually record the games I am looking for. Tim

I should also mention that I am unable to create a seek timer for sports team Arsenal, even though I had one setup in the past. It looks like there is a special flag to indicate that it is a sports team. You can search for Arsenal and find it listed under sports, but when you start to setup a...

My hopper3 seemed to get better on Monday, but still had the problem with the Sports Teams. The software hasn't updated since 1/27/17, so I don't know if there were issues in the Guide Data (or index creation or ?). I was surprised that the timers (non-seek) started to work again on Monday. It...

I was one of the perhaps many people that had my Hopper 3 go crazy Sunday and not record programs and could not create new timers. Those problems seemed to have cleared up. However, I've noticed that none of my seek timers for sports teams are working. Deleting the timers and recreating them...

I can't believe that no one else is excited about this. Great job Directv! Tim

It is ironic that Dish's hardware is better suited to 4K (Hopper 3 does native 4k output). When I had Direct TV, I needed a C61 (like a 4k Joey) and an HR54 to view 4k programming. Yet Directv has better offerings than just VOD (Baseball, now Premier League, etc.). I don't want to switch back...

How about the Premier League Extra Time Channels (channels 875-880) in HD. It seems like everyone else has these in HD (Directv, UVerse, and Comcast that I've had) and it is tough to watch any sports in SD. I am also sure that other people have requested this before, but it would be nice to...

I am glad to hear that. I was hoping that there was a mass purchase of new encoders that had better efficiency and they've decided to go full 1080i/720p with the complete color pallette. That probably starts an old debate, but it would be nice to see this happen. I remember this happening at...

Does anyone know if Dish has any plans to update their encoders? Thanks, Tim

I have just under 1 Gigabit upstream (actually downstream as well). I've tested this quite a few times (different days and times) and average about 930 Megabits with little deviation. You just never know if someone put in some code that doesn't convert very well (like the Mars Climate Orbiter...
