    Home media app

    i just want to confirm that the "home media" app does not play Mkv files. If not, any chance it will in the future? My personal video has a mix of formats. I would really like to be able to watch these videos from my hopper vs Roku.

    Problem while watching a delayed recording

    I like to setup recordings for sporting events and start watching the game while it is still recording. I noticed that when the recording stops, the status screen pops up and jumps to the end of the program(like I have finished watching it). I may be only half way through watching the game...

    Strange Cursor Movement

    I hope I can explain this problem I am having. When I am browsing "my recordings", the screen will show the refresh led bar and then the cursor will jump to the top left button which is the Primetime Anytime button. This is a pain when I am down the list of recordings. This same type of...

    Sporting events timer problem

    So when I set a timer for a Primetime sporting event the timer says it will record an extra 60 minutes, but it doesn't. When I think about it I will set a timer for the next program. Has anyone asked Dish about this? Non-primetime sport events automatically add the 60 minutes and it does...

    Closed Caption Glitch

    I like to use the shortcut to access closed captioning. Yellow then 3. The glitch I am referring to is that when you are trying to turn off CC, the pointer is not positioned correctly(just above off) and requires you to move away and then back. This does not happen when you access CC the long...

    All timers have quit recording

    I noticed yesterday that all my timers quit recording on 5/14. I tend not to stay current on viewing my timers so I didn't notice it right away. I called Dish and they did not have an answer and have scheduled a replacement hopper. What is strange is that after talking to Dish, I decided to...

    Pointer Fragment.

    Sorry of this has been asked and answered before. This may seem weird, but sometimes a portion of the pointer breaks off and sticks to the bottom of the screen. It seems to always be in the same place on the left side. Sometimes I can maneuver the pointer and make it line up with the...

    Hopper Home Media Controls

    I sort of have my home media working now. It finds my Plex and Windows 7 servers. My problem is manipulating the controls. Pause and Play work, but nothing else. How are you supposed to fast forward or rewind. Also, the program starts over if I happen not to finish it. What gives?

    Dish on Demand Quality

    I finally broke down today and connected my 622receiver to the Internet. I am running a direct connect from my router to the receiver(about 30 feet in the attic). My connection seems to be good. My problem is that my first test programs buffer every 30 seconds or so. I have a 10mb download...

    Broadband connection with vip622 & vip722

    Just wondering if anyone is using an ethernet bridge like the Linksys wet54g to connect their vip receivers to the internet. I tried a powerline adapter and couldn't get it to work. The distance from my wireless router and the sat receivers is just too far. Seems like the ethernet bridge...

    Installation of a 722 to a moved location

    I am soon to upgrade a 942 to a new 722 receiver. Is this a self install? I have the 942 at a "moved" address so I can get the Atlanta locals in HD. I plan on ordering the 722 on the 15th, but am not sure what I need to do. If self install I can tell Dish to send the receiver to my billing...
