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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

My guide is incomplete. PTAT didn't work tonight or any of my other timers. I have rebooted twice. Any way to force a guide download? I haven't pulled the power plug yet. Ideas are appreciated.

Anyone seen a problem like this? My PTAT works perfectly on the other networks. NBC seems to have become sporadic. It has half of the events as the other networks. I've tried a reboot. Any other ideas?

What is considered 'Good' signal strength with the new LNB's & Hopper 3 meter? I'm in the mid 50's on 61.5 and upper 60's on 72...

I just had a HWS & Super Joey replaced with a H3 and Joey 2. The Joey 2 is WAY slower than the Super Joey it replaced. Can anyone that has a 4K Joey let me know if it is faster or near the speed of the Super Joey... If so, it's worth it to me to just purchase a 4K Joey. Thanks.

I've found my way around most of the interface and things are kind of working. We had a number of times while the installer was here that the picture would go black. It seems to have pulled down and update and is working at the moment. It did a firmware update to the remote, which was a shock...

I have Dish and Direct for different reasons... Can someone explain to me why Dish handles Rain Fade so much better? I can lose Direct for 30 minutes (and I have excellent signal), but maybe not lose Dish at all or it just go in and out a few times during that time frame. I am Eastern Arc on Dish.

I have searched, but can't seem to find how to change my Primetime Anytime settings since the initial setup... Days, times, etc... Can someone point me in the right direction. For instance, on CBS on Sunday, I need to extend it since my shows are getting clipped because they are late from...

Last week, my logo's vanished on my Genie/HR44... I expected them to return, but I have done a reboot (yesterday) and it's still just text. Is this a known issue? If so, does anyone have fix?

Is Direct rain fade worse than Dish? I have been out for 30 minutes... It is raining, but I am used to 2 and 3 minute outages at the most. I see signal on 101, I was able to watch SD longer... Which satellites am I looking at? What bands? I notice 99 has multiples.

Those New Subscriber deals + Sunday ticket were too much for me. I got a Genie and Genie Extender to replace Hopper and Joey. The five individual tuners is big to me, as I frequently have conflicts on DISH since I watch tons of Cable Networks. I loved my Hopper, but I've got more...

Well, went the usual 80 miles to help my folks with their Directv Receiver Swap. My folks are in an unusual situation (I've posted it before). They only see 101 and that is all they have LOS to. Got the proper advice on here (thank you) on how to do receiver setup. Great signal, called...

I got my parents Directv about 12 years ago. There is no cable where they live. They only have LOS to 101. They have an original dish, which I installed. They are using the original RCA receivers I got them. Directv is making them change receivers and have shipped new boxes. I'm a Dish...

I have a HWS and 1 Joey. Lately, the Joey has been pixelating and breaking up while watching shows from the Hopper. On a whim tonight, I unplugged the Coax (I have a wired network). All of the problems went away. My boxes do the nightly resets and this problem has persisted for days. It...

Fast is an understatement. I have never seen a DVR that is this quick. Pixellation at the top/bottom of the hour is STILL present. Software downloads, pairing, and first use was automatic and went without any problems. Truly a plug and play replacement. Then, activated in my account via...

Can anyone point me to a list of the compatible RVU sets? A friend is getting Direct and I mentioned the idea and he would like to buy sets to keep his setup very clean. I found 3 models in an old thread. I was curious if anyone had more current information/model numbers for me to pass on...

Both are connected. The Hopper can call out, but I can't get into BB Online. Any ideas? Just wait? My account online shows it broadband connected. Other than that quirk, I am very impressed with the look and speed. PTA kicked on at 6:55CST

How long does the first Hopper download take? We are on the second one. It is powered on and looks stuck at 5 of 5 on the initial boot screen. How long from first boot to some kind of info?
