    54 remote doesn't turn on soundbar

    I have a Hopper3, Sharp TV, Yamaha Soundbar. The Hopper is connected to TV with HDMI. The soundbar is connected to TV's optical audio output. This is an older soundbar that has no HDMI passthrough ports, so optical or RCA cables are the only way to feed it audio input. The Hopper is configured...

    Dishmover?

    Does the service still exist where they send a tech to your new place to install a dish and get your gear running again? Is there a charge for it?

    Can't modify start/end settings for existing timers

    Hi all, I have a Hopper3 with H310 software. I have my defaults for DVR timers set to start 5 minutes early and end 5 minutes late to make sure I don't miss the beginning or end of shows when they don't start/end on the hour like they should. I have recently lost my NBC local due to the Tegna...

    Hopper3 rebooting

    This morning when I turned my system on, my Hopper3 rebooted several times. It would turn on and work normally for a couple of minutes, then display a message on the screen: "Attention 1598 We detected a change in your network and need to reboot your set top box to restore service". When I...

    EHD problems on H3 with U548?

    Anybody else having EHD problems on their H3 in the last few days? I have a 3TB WD MyBook drive that I have been using for a year or so with no issues. My H3 is suddenly refusing to recognize it and says it needs to be reformatted. I don't know if it's something to do with U548 or just a...

    Hopper 3 seek timers

    Anybody know of a way to make seek timers prefer satellite channels over OTA channels? I have an antenna connected to my OTA adapter, but the signal is weak on most of my local channels and cuts in and out. If I set a seek timer for a show that's on one of the big 3 networks, it usually records...

    Hopper 3 Timer issues

    I upgraded from an original Hopper to a Hopper3 last Friday. Everything going smoothly so far. The one glaring issue for me is the difference in the way timers work on the H3 as compared to the original Hopper: 1) Can’t set a DVR timer on a specific channel for a show that’s not in the guide...

    Overlapping timers?

    Anybody know if Dish will ever have a fix for the issue of overlapping timers on the same channel consuming two tuners? I'm still running an original Hopper and this is about the only thing that really makes me want to upgrade. The programmers have obviously figured out how to do it since PTAT...

    datasheets?

    I know there used to be a Dish site that had datasheets for all the different receivers but I'm not able to find it anymore. I'm considering upgrading my original Hopper to Hopper3 and I want to compare specs/features on the Joey 2.0, Wireless Joey, SuperJoey, Joey 4K before I decide what to get.

    Suggestion re: free previews

    I don't know if this is a good way to send suggestions to Dish or not, but it would be really nice if Dish would give a little more notice on the free previews. There were some things on HBO this weekend that I would have liked to record, but I didn't hear about the preview until after I had...

    Control AppleTV with Dish 40.0 remote?

    Has anybody tried controlling a 3rd-gen Apple TV (MD199LL/A) with a Dish 40.0 remote? I looked in the Remote Manager on my Hopper and couldn't find it listed under any of the options for the Aux device. I guess I could just use the learning feature and program all the buttons from the Apple...

    any way to force guide update or timer schedule rebuild?

    My Hopper has been doing some strange things ever since it updated to S221 earlier this week. Tonight when I look at the Daily Schedule, I see a bunch of items that say "No Info Available" as the title. If I point at them with the cursor, it does display an icon and a description on the right...

    Can't edit Seek & Record timers

    Unless I'm missing something, it looks like once they're created you can't edit anything? What if I want to change from all to only new or vice versa? Doesn't look like you can even change the priority. That's pretty lame. I could modify anything I wanted on a Dish Pass timer on my old 622. I...

    Hopper crashing while creating timers

    Not sure if this is a known issue - I tried searching but didn't come up with anything... I got one Hopper and two Joeys today to replace a 622 and a 211. This evening I've been trying to re-create my timers on the Hopper. I have about 50 timers total. So far I've only gotten 18 of them in...

    Joey audio output

    Question: Are the Joey's RCA audio outputs fixed-level, or does their output level vary when you press the Volume up/down buttons on the remote? Perhaps this is a setting in the menus somewhere? I think it was like this on some of the older receivers. Read on if you want to know why I'm...

    bundle pricing

    I get Comcast ads in the mail 2-3 times a month. I decided to actually read one the other day because I had a little time to kill. :) They're always advertising their double and triple play bundles. Right now, I can get phone, internet, or cable for $24.99 each for 6 months as long as I sign...

    Vip622 TV2 output -> Vip211 antenna input ?

    Might sound crazy, but does anybody know if this will work? Here's why: I currently have a 622 in the living room and a 211 in the basement. I have the TV2 output from the 622 run down to the basement and plugged into the antenna input on the TV there. This lets us watch recorded shows off...

    What new movies start this month on HBO/Sho/Starz/Max/etc ?

    I'm looking for a place to find news on what new movies are coming out on the various networks each month, preferably an RSS feed(s) I can subscribe to. Say there's a new movie I wanted to see but I missed it at the theaters or decided it wasn't worth 9 bucks, so I'm waiting for it to start...

    submitting an RFE to Dish?

    Is there any official way to submit and RFE (Request For Enhancement) to Dish, other than just posting it here and hoping somebody reads it? :-) I have a couple of things I would love to see added to the DVR software to make them a little more user-friendly and I'm sure others do too...

    DVR playback over ethernet?

    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I searched and couldn't find anything definitive. There has been talk (hope?) for a long time that multiple receivers in one house could be able to play back content stored on another's hard drive (e.g. a 211 could play content recorded on a 622's...

    Just deleted everything off my 622!?!?

    I know it's probably a stupid question, but is there anyway to un-delete stuff on a 622? I just accidentally nuked everything! I have the "My Recordings" screen set to group things by title. I decided I wanted to get rid of all of a particular show, so I went into its folder, clicked Edit...
