    HOPPER 3 UPGRADE WAITING LIST!

    I'm interested in upgrading to the H3. My Hopper with Sling has had hard drive issues and I've been trying to hold out until the Hopper 3 ships. I have a HWS, Hopper 2000, and 3 wireless Joeys. Thanks!

    Hopper Upgrades

    Okay, I'm moved into the new house and off pause...Thanks for the suggestion ChadT41. I have two Hoppers, no Joeys right now and would like to add three Joeys. If possible, I would like to change out my older Hopper 2000 (with Sling dongle) to a HWS too. Thanks, Steve

    Hopper Upgrades

    I'm moving to a house that isn't yet finished, need to suspend service for about a month-and-a-half, and I have 2 Hoppers, no Joeys. I would like to find out about upgrading one of the Hoppers to HWS at the same time.

    New feature - HDMI-CEC

    Thanks for posting this thread with instructions to disable HDMI-CEC. I had to disable the HDMI Control because I use the Hopper for 2 TVs. One is through the HDMI into a Denon 1912 and then a Panasonic plasma. But I also use the component cables for a bedroom tv. The Panasonic does a great job...

    Email from Dish about OTA module

    I got that email too, when switching from a 722k with OTA/MT2 card to a Hopper. I wondered the same thing. Now, I have been foiled twice trying to get an OTA tuner for the Hopper. OOS today, too.

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    Wow, that's pretty clever that they'll talk over the network--even play content...I have been pretty impressed with this Hopper technology. I suppose I will have to block communication within the router software or set up a separate network for the in-law suite. I already have a Wireless Bridge...

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    We are actually converting it from a rental unit to an in-law suite. It's on the same property; just a separate structure with the garage, about 20 feet from the main house.

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    I have one Hopper already, it (the entire store) just disappears when you have an order pending. The warning shows this: "You have an open appointment, please complete your request after your appointment is complete." I tried calling, and the CSR also can't process an order--even for a small...

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    I went ahead and ordered 1H/1J...I didn't want to wait for an OTA tuner--as installation wasn't available until 1/24--but now I can't order that until the order is complete.

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    I tried, and was denied...I read somewhere else that you can't have 2 Hoppers and no Joeys.

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    Thanks guys, that sounds like what I need. What is the difference in cost per month then (between extra 211k and Hopper)? Is there an additional DVR fee for the second Hopper? Also, how can I get them to add a second Hopper? Would I have to tell them I want two more Joeys and then decline the...

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    The same switch that would allow a 211k? That might be easier I suppose. I already have the EHD enable fee paid for the 211k, so that might make the most sense. And be cheaper monthly.

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    I'm looking around in the Hopper and don't see a setting for it, but I was hoping it would be possible to set them to not communicate. I had the one node wired so that we could expand to 2 Hoppers, but didn't think about having to separate them. I think my dish has 3 outputs, which wouldn't...

    Adding an additional Hopper or 211k

    We want to have an HD receiver that's not attached to our current Hopper for a studio above our detached garage. It has a single RG6 cable run to it, and when we had a 722k, we had a 211k at that location. I now have a single Hopper receiver, and have read that we could still potentially add...

    What's the best way to set the Hopper to record a season of football games?

    So far, my hopper has added 60 min to each sports recording by default. I don't know about the search term timers (seek and record), though.

    Audio Problems on Satellite Local (Bozeman, MT)

    Thanks guys; I think ZachS on the DIRT team has already submitted the request. I don't have my Receiver info in front of me, or I'd send that again. I can tell you: Zip: 59718 Channel: 18-0 Call Letters: KWYB We only watch during prime time and occasionally during the day on weekends for...

    Audio Problems on Satellite Local (Bozeman, MT)

    There have always been audio problems with a satellite local here in Bozeman, MT (18-00, ABC) since Dish added the locals in our market many years ago. The issue has been intermittent, but the audio judders and gets way out of sync, so that sometimes you can't even make out what's being said...

    Hopper 40.0 UHF Remote

    Thanks, 2857 was the ticket for the 1912 too. Still some commands to learn, but power and volume work at least.

    I'll try that tonight...if it worked for the 2312, it should work for the 1912. Thanks!

    Upgrade to Hopper/Joey, EHD Prep?

    I had an EHD issue on the switch from the 722k to the Hopper. Matt on the DIRT team helped out, though. He sent a hit to the receiver, still didn't work. The drive had a 400GB Windows partition in addition to a 500GB Dish partition. After deleting the Windows partition, the Hopper saw the EHD...

    Hopper 40.0 UHF Remote

    Any help/solution on this? I also can't get the 40.0 remote to work with my Denon, even with the lookup function on the Hopper (AVR-1912 is listed). It will only turn the Denon off, nothing else. All my other Dish remotes have worked with my Denon Receivers. Thanks!

    2 Hopper + OTA Question

    Thanks, that's what I was hoping. I didn't want the installer there for hours anyway. So, I just need to wait until after the Hoppers are installed to get on MyDish.com and order the OTA (or two)?
