    DISH Software Update xx27/28

    Does anyone else have their Hopper reboot when the Joey gets turned on? Everything was working great until they fixed it.

    Too stupid to figure out record function

    What a burn ;) Good one. Nothing that exiting. Usually it's a clip from the news or a segment of a nature doc. She and her zookeeper husband are in to herpetology and entomology. I show them interesting clips when they come over and don't like searching an event.

    Too stupid to figure out record function

    Thanks all for the replies. I wasn't getting the email notifications of replies so I thought no one had opinions on my issues. I've adopted the "do the opposite approach".

    Too stupid to figure out record function

    While watching something for 10-60 minutes or so and I see something specific I want to record, I rewind to the point I want the recording to start and hit record. I forward past the point where I want my recording to end and then stop recording. More often than not, the recording captures the...

    New H3 software

    Same here. Had appointment for last Friday and canceled after deciding it was software update related. Dish wouldn't send new H3 via UPS and insisted sending tech (sorry, human being)since I was insisting on a resolution. They tried to get rid of me by saying my case would be referred to tech...

    DISH OTA antenna

    Thanks again for this. Works like a champ. Does anyone know if my guide would still populate if I drop the Dish locals? What's interesting is that the guide populates the program information on all 4 PBS channels . The guide also displays program information on 2 of the 4 NBC channels. On...

    DISH OTA antenna

    I was transferred to loyalty. Front line offered me $5 and loyalty valued my loyalty at $30. I even asked the loyalty rep to just send me the dongle and he apparently was of the opinion that I was only worth $30. It's a shame actually. Prior to losing HBO I had the 250 package, Showtime and...

    DISH OTA antenna

    Just FYI, I just contacted Dish and the offer is not available to me. Go figure. Before the hopper I had 722's and could receive all my local stations via an ota antenna just fine. Now they offer me a $30 credit and the dongle costs $60 :) They wouldn't even just send me the dongle. While...

    Remove Joey from Account?

    Thanks. I've already called and the return process is in the works. I also asked the the service rep and was told nothing needs to be done at my house. I've learned to never trust what someone in a sales/service position says. That's why I asked here first. You've confirmed what I suspected...

    Remove Joey from Account?

    Thanks everyone for the guidance. I can be kind of thick sometimes, or so my wife says. I suppose she's right :)

    Remove Joey from Account?

    I now have the hopper3 and 2 Joeys of some sort. The kid moved and it goes unused.

    Remove Joey from Account?

    So, if it wont "hurt anything", It won't help anything either?

    Remove Joey from Account?

    Are you saying that leaving that coax unterminated won't have a negative impact on the MOCA or signal quality to the hopper3 or superjoey? I've always wanted things done correctly. I'm guessing that if they send a truck, the tech would replace the splitter or whatever it's called these days...

    Remove Joey from Account?

    Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does the the outlet need some sort of termination or just unplug and return the Joey.

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Things had been doing fairly well until last night. Weather outside was great, not a cloud in the sky. Two programs started recording because a timer was set. About 20 minutes into recording I attempted to watch a recording in progress. It was nothing but a black screen. I stopped the...

    Can your Pumpkin prognosticate the date of an acceptably functioning version of the CUI software for HWS?

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Are you restating my post or indicating that I need to "full reset the joey"? I thought unplugging the joey from the AC temporarily is resetting the joey. Need I do something different to achieve a full reset on Dish devices?

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Update. Two days ago our daughter (who's rarely here) turned on the joey for the first time since the HWS was replaced. She was able to watch Netflix using the app from the HWS, but any other channel she selected was black. Had her unplug the joey from the outlet and plug it back in. Still...

    Finally a scientific assessment. My first SWAG was a ghost, but witches makes more sense :)

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    It's 5g wifi and tested 22Mb now. Often the wifi hits 50M. Don't all updates come down the dish n the house.

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    Let me go on record as saying My purpose is not to trash Dish. I've been with Dish for about 20 years now and have been more than happy with the service and a huge fan of their equipment/DVR. I had a 722,622 & 612 at my old address until we moved in 2014 and then went with the HWS setup at the...

    Anyone have Hopper with sling that works?

    If was so simple it would be great, but in my case you can't trust either recording to have the entire program, so you have to switch back and forth to determine you still don't have it all.
