    Netflix on H3 looks so much better...

    I have noticed that Netflix looks better on my Hopper 3 than it did on my Hopper with Sling. I don't have a 4K TV or a super fast internet connection... yet the picture quality is noticeably better. Perhaps Netflix is using the h.265 capability of the Hopper 3.

    Mirror Tvs with a Joey

    The device below was reported to have the "undocumented" side effect of removing HDCP. I do not have one so I cannot confirm.

    Mirror Tvs with a Joey

    Although I have not used them, the below devices look VERY interesting. They are a receiver/transmitter pair that sends a QAM modulated signal over coax. A single transmitter can have multiple receivers and a single coax can have multiple transmitters. The system supports 1080p60. There is no...

    Scott's Mini Hopper 3 Review

    The limit is in the partition table type used which is determined by the capabilities of whatever version of the Linux kernel used on the system. To support greater than 2TB, the kernel must have GPT partition support.

    I currently have 2 Hoppers with Slings, 4 Joey 1.0s, and 1 VIP211K. I would like to upgrade to 1 Hopper 3, 5 4K Joeys, and I still need to keep my VIP211K for use with the tailgater antenna.

    Transferring programs from EHD to Hopper with Sling

    I just had my 2 Hoppers upgraded to the Hopper with Sling. Prior to the upgrade I transferred all my DVR programs to EHDs. When I connect the EHDs to the Hoppers, they seem to work OK and I can view all of the programming on the EHDs with no issue. The problem comes when I try to transfer...

    Joey DLNA Problem

    I have the same issue... my Hoppers play my MP4 (H.264) 720p DLNA served videos with no problem. My Joeys do not. I have a hard time believing it is a problem with the Joey CPU becuase the same Joey CPU plays all satellite based HD content, 1080i and 1080p, with no problem. The native format for...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I can't prove it, but they (Blockbuster) intentionally adds an extra day of delay wherever possible to limit the number of disks they have to mail. With Blockbuster (One disk per week maximum): I return a disk on Saturday. The disk disappears from my disks at home list on Monday. I...

    Hopper S216 Feedback

    I have two hoppers that received that S216 updates this morning. I have four Joeys that are all ethernet connected only (NO Coax). The only issue I see was also present in S213. The Joeys can all see each other and can see both hoppers. The hoppers are the only to devices than can see the DVR...

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    I got the free ROKU, $35 to pay for the first year of my favorite lost AMC program on amazon.com, a no cost upgrade to a two hopper / four joey system, and $10 off for 12 months. I guess it pays to complain:).

    722k / L685 - Slingplayer needs new password

    Which version of the standalone slingplayer software works with the 722? Version 2.04 recognizes the 722 with a sling adapter as a sling device. It accepts the password I was able to retrieve using the above method but it tells me the device isn't compatible with the software. The web based...

    722k / L685 - Slingplayer needs new password

    I'm sure the 722 sling password has been ramdomized just like the 922. Just like the OP I can't find the password anywhere in the 722 menus. One possiblility is to use an ethernet sniffer to catch the password when it is sent during the authentication phase of the web player. This will only work...

    Looks Like Lin is back!

    DISH charges it customers pennies per day. The website fails mention how many pennies per day LIN Media is asking for:). I am sure LIN Media is contractually prohibited from publicly disclosing their negoitated rates... this is however an obvious attempt at deception. While DISH does not...
