I'm not against doing it, but as Bobby said, I'd just as soon replace the fan since I have to open the unit to unplug. I'm just genuinely curious as to why you would recommend doing so.

I ordered one of these external fans in addition to a replacement internal fan. The internal fan hasn't arrived yet, but the external one did. As you suggested, I put it on the right side of the Hopper 3, about 1 to 1.5 inches away from the vents. In a matter of minutes (on the low setting)...

So best I can tell, it's a 50x50x25mm fan, 12v, 0.15a, 2-pin. Closest thing I can find is this: cooling fan Will it matter that this replacement fan is 0.18a?

The problem is I don't know exactly what I'm looking for. What are the specs on this fan? I'm searching, but not having much luck.

Where would you buy a replacement fan for this unit? And you just remove a few screws from the case, open it up, disconnect the old fan and connect the new, close it up, and good to go? Nothing fancier than that? If so, I can do that. I've replaced cooling fans in desktops before.

navychop or anyone else who may know, would a fan like this on the right side of the Hopper 3 work to pull the hot air out? USB cooling fan Reason I ask is that the fan needed a nudge again today after working for multiple days. I'd really rather not have to go through the hassle of getting...

Yep, definitely meant "wasn't." I hate when my brain doesn't tell my fingers the right thing to type. It's been a couple days and the fan has been working fine. The Hopper is operating at a normal temperature - warm, but not too warm. Outside case temp is about 98 F on the right side and...

I got a new Hopper 3 a couple weeks ago to replace my old one. It's been working just fine. I have it in the same place as the old one - plenty of ventilation in the portion of the entertainment center it's in (there's a large opening on the back of the entertainment center). The reason why I...

Sorry everyone, I meant to update earlier in the week and got busy. I called my local retailer on Tuesday, as they had installed the system. The lady looked up my information and confirmed I had the protection plan, so she scheduled a technician to come out. He was able to come by on Thursday...

Forgive my ignorance on this, but is there any difference between calling DISH for this or calling my local DISH retailer who installed the system? Are there charges for realignment?

Update after more observation of the problem: I'm now leaning toward it being a signal strength issue. When the local channels are on and I check the signal strength, it's about 12-17. Other SD channels that I don't normally watch have no signal. My HD channels are mostly fine (signal...

Yesterday, I noticed that my local channels went out for a little while, but that was during a heavy rain, so I didn't think anything of it. They came back shortly after the storm passed. This afternoon, though, the skies have been clear and whenever I tune to any local channel it gives me a...

I don't have any Prime Time Anytime shows on DVR, so no problems there. I guess I'll have to keep my fingers crossed on errors with the hard drive transfer then. Choices, indeed.

Ah ok, so I just deleted a bunch of stuff that I wasn't going to watch and got it down to 37%. The Hopper has a 2 TB hard drive, right? So I should be good with the 1 TB external to get everything copied over ahead of time. If it's going to take that long, I might as well get it all...

Is that something the installation tech can do when he gets here?

I'm going from a Hopper to a Hopper 3 in about a week. I currently have my Hopper DVR at about 67% full and I want to transfer those recordings over to the new Hopper 3. I've got a 1 TB USB external hard drive. Will that be large enough to get everything or will I need to get a bigger one?

Once I found out that it was a Dish screw up, I thought, "Oh, I wonder who's going to lose their job over this?" In addition to getting the Joey issue fixed, they also cleared up the issue with Netflix controls, thankfully. I haven't come across any other issues.

I've got the original Hopper with a Super Joey and two Joeys. U700 literally broke the Joeys. Hit them with a "Warning 981 Boot Recovery" error. Contacted Dish and they were already aware of it. I asked the agent and she said it was widespread. That was this morning. When I got home this...

Does anyone have a number or email address to contact Charlie? I just called Customer Service and they aren't giving out any kinds of credits or specials in relation to AMC being dropped. Said that AMC wasn't coming back unless they contract demands came down. The girl even said she was...

So Chris, if I have WildBlue service through Dish Network (which I do), I won't be seeing any increase in speeds, I won't be receiving a new Surfbeam 2 modem, etc? I'm on Anik and I would greatly enjoy being in the Augmented Legacy group. Please clarify, if possible. Thanks!

Thanks. I sent her a PM. I was wondering what was up. I tried calling the 800 number...got a busy signal. Tried logging into the website...wouldn't do it.

I've got an equipment replacement issue, but can't get through on 1-800-333-3474 number.

Matt got me taken care of. I'm getting the 222 replaced with a 722. Looking forward to finally being able to record some programming for when there's "nothing on" the 250 channels I have, lol. Thanks again Matt!

I've been with Dish for a little more than two years now. I have a 222k and a 211k receiver. I'd really like to get a DVR receiver, but when I moved back in June, they said that I wasn't eligible for a free upgrade to a DVR (I wasn't quite to the two year point then). I'd rather not have to...

We just moved and I'm trying to get my VCR to work like it did before without having to disconnect wires each time. My wife started disconnecting everything before I could check the set up, so I'm having trouble with it. I can get the VCR to play a movie, but then to get the satellite to work...
