    Hopper 3 Randomly Pausing On DVR Content... Sluggish When Skipping Forward Too

    Thank all of you for that. I do need to add that I experienced this on the version prior (I forced the update to H316 myself, hoping it would cure it). I'll hang tight on the receiver, since some of you are seeing this too and wait for the next software. I will contact the Twitter team and...

    Hopper 3 Randomly Pausing On DVR Content... Sluggish When Skipping Forward Too

    Yes, that was my first move, then I ran software update from the technician window and let it redownload everything and a fresh guide.

    Hopper 3 Randomly Pausing On DVR Content... Sluggish When Skipping Forward Too

    For the last month, my Hopper 3 will randomly pause for a 1-3 seconds when playing back a recorded show. It also will become semi unresponsive, I do a 30 second skip and it pauses for up to 5 seconds before the skip happens. No real issues with live TV, just the DVR. It's many years old, so I...

    Who is Mission Broadcasting?

    I lost NBC, but not Fox today and the Dish Promise site said this is because of a dispute with Mission Broadcasting. My NBC & Fox stations are Nexstar stations. Are they related somehow? I'm guessing they have separate contracts for the two stations since I kept Fox.

    So, I'm leaving Dish after 20+ years...

    As an FYI, the ad situation on YouTubeTV isn't what it used to be. They have renegotiated almost all of those deals. None of those channels mean anything to me (except Sirius which I have separate @ $60 a year/5 per month), so it's to each his own, I suppose. Point is, everyone is nickel and...

    So, I'm leaving Dish after 20+ years...

    Well, looks like I am changing my mind. After I expressed that I was going to finish all the things on my DVR, then message them back to send the kill signal and return box, they shrunk the agreement to 12 months and offered $35 off per month. That puts me about 13 more than YouTube TV and I...

    So, I'm leaving Dish after 20+ years...

    My agreement ended and went from 67 to 98 dollars. I hit them up on Twitter to see what they could do. Offered me $10 a month if I did a 2 year. Going to give YouTube TV a shot. It has my channels, my internet is fantastic, and no contract. If they had just gotten it back to where it was, I...

    This says "moving" is against the law????

    I remember way back in the day before my locals were on spot beams. There was a larger market a few hundred miles from here that had locals on a spot beam that covered my area. I found a school address, added a number to it and moved. Kept my locals for that city until my DMA was eventually...

    Dish Agreement Ending

    I have 30 days or so left and my commitment will be over. Is Dish offering anything to keep subscribers. Extremely long time customer, but the bill is legitimately too much at regular price for what I get. Are they trying to retain or do they not care if you switch away at this point? I just...

    Just Canceled

    They flat out told me when I called to cancel (after three month new car trial) that 4.99 a month plus royalties was what they could give me. I accepted and since the Pandora acquisition, that package includes the app free. I use it on CarPlay, because it actually has decent audio quality. At...

    The Future of DirecTV, DirecTV Now, Uverse TV & HBO

    I have a fiber poll at the end of my drive, but I can't get fiber from AT&T (Comcast only). When they stopped fiber at my house, I asked the workers why they were pausing and they told me (back then) that they were pausing that roll out until they could see if the merger went through. Well, we...

    Hopper 3 Extremely Hot

    My Hopper 3 is in a well ventilated place in my TV stand. Open to outside airflow, etc... It is one of the original H3's and has never needed a replacement. The top is so hot I can barely keep my hand on it. Both of the fans on the sides (the little ones) do work. Did later units run...

    Dish Anywhere via Fire TV @ Home

    The whole reason I asked that question is that it works so well, I really want to drop a Joey from my account to save money. The interface on Fire TV is very fast. I don't know if I watch TV enough in that room to justify its own receiver. I do highly recommend trying this if you want...

    Dish Anywhere via Fire TV @ Home

    No segments... Everything has designated addresses (based on MAC), so they get the same IP every time. The traffic monitoring part of my router doesn't work so well. I tried that first. I won't have my daughter this evening, so I'll experiment by pulling the WAN in the middle of a show. If...

    Dish Anywhere via Fire TV @ Home

    So, I've been using the Dish Anywhere app on a Fire TV stick and it's working quite well. I'm using it within the home that the Hopper 3 is in for occasions I need the service on another TV for a while. When the Hopper is on the local network, does Dish Anywhere realize this and stream...

    Change Hopper 3 Hard Drive

    So, just grab a 2Gig and swap it? If so, I may go that route. I have a 2015 Toshiba in here and that is what is making the most heat. It installs the base software on first boot, then? There is a $75 WD Purple 2TB on Amazon that is made for DVR/Surveillance systems or does it have to be...

    Change Hopper 3 Hard Drive

    Is there a set of tools or special format I would need? I'd certainly like to have a replacement drive on hand. Especially if staying with a platter drive. Those are pretty dirt cheap.

    Change Hopper 3 Hard Drive

    Mine has a single fan and it does spin, although it doesn't trigger until things are very hot. I thought about putting a cooler on the passively cooled processor (which gets extremely hot).

    Change Hopper 3 Hard Drive

    My Hopper 3 is from the original batch. I got it right at release. I don't know if they have iterated the electronics, but it gets really hot. Mine uses a Toshiba HDD. Are these married to the receiver anymore or could I put say an SSD in and the receiver reformat the drive and use it? Just...

    Timer Creation Failed

    I was getting it with less than 60. Things are normal again, but that was twice in two weeks. Probably some software bug. H3 is getting better, but I was an extremely early adopter and have dealt with some quirkiness for it. This was a new problem, though. I'm glad it went away for the time...

    Timer Creation Failed

    I was getting that error immediately when I tried to create a series timer, so it never shows. I was able to do a one time recording. Last week, PTAT didn't record and my guide was incomplete. This time, the guide is fine. What are the timer limits on the Hopper 3? I have over 50.

    Timer Creation Failed

    My second time in a week and a half that I can't set any timers. I did a reset and have full guide data... Ideas?

    Cannot set timer

    I have a thread on this from the other night. PTAT failed, timer creation failed (manual) and none of my other timers worked. My guide was incomplete. Full power down didn't fix it. However, it did grab the guide information overnight and has been normal since. JessicaR, maybe you can find...

    Hopper 3 Missing Guide Data/Stopped Recording

    Nothing positive happened until the late overnight (when it finally grabbed guide data). After 30 minutes, it still had nothing, but I banked on it updating overnight. It seems okay. I have to wonder why it wouldn't record anyway. It would be smarter to capture PTAT whether it had the guide...
