    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    On further examination, I went and checked my Joey 4K and pushed the PIP button on the 40.0 that came with that box and I get message box saying "This is not an active feature". Is PIP supposed to work on the Joey 4K?

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    LOl - of course, I'm using the H3. I was a Day One adopter of the H1, so I am somewhat familiar with how to diagnose problems with STB's! :-). The bottom line is that I have no visible PIP options that I can see.

    Nope! LOL When I press "Select" on any live TV channel, all I get are options to 'Close", 'Record This" or "Record Next Airing". No PIP options whatsoever.

    Alright. now that I have been playing with the system for a bit, I still can't find the PIP fuctions on the 52.0 remote and they are not explained anywhere in teh documenation. How the f**k do I do PIP with the 52.0 remote? LOL

    Holy Christ - I didn't even know you could back up settings to the remote. So, you're saying I copy the remote settings to the H3 52.0, then pair that 52.0 to the J4K and copy the settings to the J4k, then unpair it and take it to teh J2, copy the settings then unpair it again? Then I have to go...

    Hall - where is the option to copy the guide settings on the J2 or J4K? If there is one, I must have missed it.

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    Not true. As just one example, on my old H1/J1/J1 system, if one made guide changes on the H1, those changes carried over to the J1s automatically. Now, for example, I created a custom "HD only" guide in the H3, but that guide IS NOT visible in the J4K or the J2!! So, essentially, I have to do...

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    yes, sorry about that - I mistyped. I meant to say "52.0" and not "42.0". I also noticed that each of the three boxes (H3, J4K and J2) needs to be set-up separately - setting changes and and custom guides made on the H3 do not "carry over" to the J4K and the J2. It's almost as if all three...

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    Thanks, patrick! I was just reading the other thread and saw that same comment about turning off the Joeys - FWIW, it looks like both my Joeys (I got one 4K Joey and one "regular" one) were on all last night after the install, which might explain why I got almost zero guide data even though the...

    stimpson - many thanks for the quick response; it is greatly appreciated. Re: your answer for #2, no go - "DVR" menu was the first place I thought to go to, but there is no option for "Sources" there. So, it seems as if maybe the Hopper isn't recognizing my EHDs? Also, when I plug the EHD in I...

    the "I now have a hopper 3 and I have questions" thread

    Just got my Hopper 3 installed yesterday at about 1700 or so, and a couple of questions for the more knowledgeable here: 1) Is there really no way to hide SD channels? I watch ONLY HD and I don't want any SD channels on my guide at all. And before somebody chimes in with the stupid "just create...

    Al Jazeera America in HD?

    FWIW, I'd love to see it in HD. The only reason I don't watch much of it now is because it's in SD.

    S418 software for the Original Hopper

    I don't care much for the appearance changes - they've basically just made all of the tiles on all of the screens smaller :-(. One functional change that really burns my ass is that they removed the little green "amount watched" bar on the icons of all of the programs on the dvr. Now you have...

    PPV coupons - a new change??

    I don't think that garys is correct - I just received a free PPV coupon from DISH for the Blockbuster thing and my offer states the following: Please note that Pay-Per-View certificates are only valid for Pay-Per-View (channels 502-559) and Video on Demand (channels 1 and 501) movies up to...

    BB and DoD Stopped Working All of a Sudden?

    Had my 1H/2J system installed and runngn perfectly for about two weeks now with no issues. Came home today, however, and BB and DoD had stopped working. Nothing happens when either icon is clicked - the Hopper just goes back to live TV without ever bringing up the on demand menu. Has anybody...

    SatelliteGuys FIRST LOOK - DISH's Hopper and Joey

    Sorry if I missed this in the review, but does the Hopper have the HomePlug technology that the 622/722 have? I currently HomePlug to network my 622 and 722 to my wireless router, and I'd hate to give up this feature.

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    Because that would simulate my current set-up, which is a 722 feeding two TVs - one in the master bedroom (hooked to the 722) and one in the guest bedroom (hooked to a coax run back to the 722). What I was is hoping to do was put the Hopper in the master bedroom and then put the Joey in the...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    Hmmmm, thanks for the quick response. This is interesting - I guess I could get 2 Hoppers (1 for downstairs) and a Hopper/Joey upstairs, but can you hook a Joey directly to the Hopper via coax a la having a second TV hooked directly to a 722? Looking at the HIC wiring diagram, that doesn't seem...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    Can't find an answer to this, but is it possible to have a Hopper/Joey combo AND a 722 coming off of one dish? Note that I am not talking about having the 722 linked to the Hopper, but two basically "standalone" systems (i.e. the Hopper/Joey would service the second floor of my house while the...
