    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    I figured out the problem. I have a 4x4 HDMI matrix switch that I use for all the TVs and sources in my RV. I never paid much attention to the EDID settings. I changed them to 5.1 sound and it started working. Thanks everyone for your help.

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    Dolby Digital was on. I have a streaming hearing aid transmitter tapped into the optical (toslink) connection from the TV to the receiver and it has no sound either. When I switch to internal TV speakers, I still have no sound. The TV is an LG model 55LH5750-UB. The only other sound setting it...

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    Thanks for the resposne. If you're suggesting a power reset, I've done that countless times. It has never worked.

    Hopper 3 has no sound on Amazon Prime

    I have a surround receiver connected to the TV. I get surround on every channel except Amazon Prime. I get no sound at all on Prime. Even Netflix works without a problem. In the beginning, I figured that it was a bug that Dish would work out. It's been many months and it still doesn't work. Can...

    Amazon Prime Video Debuts on DISH Hopper 3

    I have Prime on 301, but I don't have any sound. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Convenience of a Sound Bar without the speakers

    I live in my new motor home full time. I have an HDMI matrix switch to connect my Dish receivers and computer to all of the TVs using HD Base T. The motor home came with LG TVs and an LG Blu Ray home theater that powers the speakers built into the living room ceiling. The living room TV is a...

    Locals guide issue in RV

    So...I finally broke down and changed my locals on my account to San Francisco. I full-time in a motor home. I started in Seattle and had no problem with PTAT and the locals channel guide. On my way to SF, I changed locals once in northern California for one night and really didn't pay much...

    Interesting Issue for Hopper 3 in an RV

    I know this is an old thread, but as long as we have fulltime RVers with H3s... I am also a fulltimer. I recently changed from a 722 to an H3. Since I am always moving, all of my timers for network shows were Dish Passes. When the program guide would repopulate after moving, the shows would...

    Hybrid LNB Wiring Diagrams

    Another full tome RVer here. I just installed an H3 in my rig. I have the same tripod on the ground and a Winegard Trav'ler on the roof.I used a Dish retailer. He changed the LNB on the tripod dish and bought a second one for the Trav'ler. It was a simple switch out and, other than...

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Absolutely. It only takes a second or two for the dome to find the correct satellite. It always gets to the HD channel unless the receiver decides to settle for the SD channel. It does the opposite, too. If I try to tune an SD station, it sometimes gives up and tries for the HD channel.

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Yep, that's the name of it. Too bad about the delay. Too bad it's not an option that can be disabled.

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Do you mean the Trav'ler? The motor home came with a dome and I added a second one for the other tuner for only a couple of hundred dollars. Changing to a Trav'ler would be too expensive and would prevent me from using the in-motion feature (gets me XM Radio and other stations).

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    Not quite sure what you mean by 'upgrading'. If you mean changing to an open face dish, I have thought about it and for the moment rejected it. If that's not what you meant, can you explain further?

    Signal Loss on HD channel, tuning to SD equivalent.

    I am in an RV with King Domes. I see this error all the time before the dome has a chance to change satellites. I would rather it didn't do it, but I don' t know of any way to prevent it. If I flip back to the HD channel (sometimes it takes more than one try), I can eventually get the HD channel.

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    Are there any legacy dishes/LNBs that can receive 110, 119, 129 on a single unit?

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    Timberwolf: I had that setup a year or so ago. I am not sure I gain anything by doing that and it makes for a lot of inconvenience when I want to record more than one program. Stargazer: Can I get all three LNBs on a single dish? I finally got both tuners to get all 3 satellites and the King...

    Timer not paying attention to maximum number of recordings

    KAB is corresct. More to the point, it doesn't matter whether it's a Dish Pass or a timer. It's doing the same for all.

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    It's hard to use the dish and tripod to listen to XM radio while I'm driving.:) I don't have a Hopper because it won't work with the Kingdome. Further testing with the 2 Kingdomes shows that it has no trouble at all with 110 and 119. It tests quickly and reliably the first time. It's when I...

    Dish 1000.2 with SW21

    I live full time in an RV. When I have a clear view of the skies from the roof of the RV, I use two King Domes to receive satellite signals for my VIP722. These domes emulate an SW21 switch when I run a check switch. When there is something in the way of the domes, I have a 1000.2 dish on a...

    722K and two King Domes

    I can switch to eastern arc, but I'm not sure the locals are there. Since I'm in western Colorado (I'm almost in Utah), can I receive it here?

    722K and two King Domes

    I have two 9762 King Domes connected to a VIP722k. It is set for the Dish Western Arc (110, 119, 129). I am in Grand Junction, CO so all of the satellites are relatively high in the sky. The dishes/receivers work fine for 110 and 119. The receiver struggles with 129. Channels drift in and out. I...

    Timer not paying attention to maximum number of recordings

    I have a 722k. I have several timers where I have set a maximum number of recordings. For example, I record the evening news and I only want the latest. If I don't watch it, I still don't want yesterdays. Since I am a full time RVer, I have been setting Dish Passes for network TV since Dish no...

    Dish sling adapter and slingbox.com

    The receiver actually rebooted itself at one point. Since it's a Slingcatcher, there's no browser to change. Thanks for the response, though. I tried it with the Sling app in Windows and the Sling.com page. Both of them told me it was unsupported.

    Dish sling adapter and slingbox.com

    This is an old thread, but I thought I would toss some information. I got the sling_admin_pw and entered it into a slingcatcher. I connects then gets stuck on starting. It times out after a couple of minutes. Anyone get any further than that?

    VIP722 with intermittent HDMI connection problem

    I have been messing with this today. The temp in the cabinet doesn't appear that high to me. As I said in the original post, I use all of the outputs of the reciever including HDMI, component, composite and RF. I though that maybe the wire length was interfering with the HDMI signal. I have a...
