    Hopper w Sling s/w U243 4/10/2018 breaks Trick-Play

    This is in the H3 s/w thread. But is a serious bug specific to the HWS with this new software. I'm having this trouble on my HWS (new s/w with the new icons). The trick play is a mess. Same as the original poster, I only see the problem when playing a recording from my "other" HWS. I...

    Hooper w/ Sling U237 Inserting Commercials at Stupid Times

    I'm not sure when this started. Maybe in the last 2-3 days (definitely saw it Tuesday 10/10). So, I'm watching a same day recorded show on MSNBC (let's please keep the politics out). The recording was complete. Hmm, the recordings were on the other Hopper in the house (not sure if that's...

    Can you Still get Lifetime ?

    Just "Chatted" with a rep who told me they don't offer lifetime anymore. Anyone hear anything different (recently) ? I may play dumb and see if I can't transfer lifetime from a built-in In purchased in 2009, but technically that's against the rules. Also have a $100/year or $30 for 5 month...

    Vice from HBO West Not Recording

    Crap I just noticed that my "New Episode" timer for Vice From HBO West isn't recording. I got 2x01 from 3/14, then nothing. Looking at the guide for tonight, the HBO West is not flagging any episodes as New. HBO East is flagging the first one as New. Am I missing something ? Is this a...

    How's your 129 strength (want to make sure it's not just me)

    My CNNHD was in and out this afternoon. (Denver) So I went and checked.... My 129 TP 18 is only 18. My Denver HD Spot 129/TP4 is 38 Others: 119/12 = 61 110/12 = 97 (Denver Spot, Locals) 110/22 = 62 I went out an shoved the dish a bit in each direction, but 129 only got weaker...

    Echostar granted New Patent "...presenting multimedia programming without index"

    United States Patent: 7826712 Looks like they are trying to validate the TiVo Patent work-around. TiVo stock dropped 2.96% today. I wonder what E* will do with this with respect to other PVR Manufactures (would they give it away to piss TiVo off?). I believe the Full Court appeal...

    622/722: Looks like they are working on the 1.5TB Limit

    I'm getting ready to setup a new media server and figured I'd pop the Hitachi 2TB onto the 722 to see if they worked on the 1.5TB limit with SW version L625. Low and Behold: Unfortunately they probably created the Delete Bug when the worked on the new code. Hopefully it'll be...

    Denver 1st Analog Turn-Off -> 622 Timer problem

    Here in Denver, the first 3 channels have just turned off the Analog. Two of the channels reverted the UHF back to the original VHF (7/ABC & 9/NBC). For the 622/722, A simple rescan didn't find the relocated channels. I had to wipe the locals, reboot, then rescan. The new channels are...

    722 Aborted Timers

    My 722 seems to be chopping off timers lately. I'm just got L.610 last night (and had a timer chopped). But this started before 610. It usually happens in the 3-4:00am range. I belive the box is doing a nightly reboot (crashing?) even with a timer running. The recording does not restart...

    622/722 External HDDs now movable between boxes ?

    I noticed that both my 622 and 722 (449) (made me reactivate their external HDDs last night). So it looked like something had changed. I tried the box that had been reactivated on the other PVR (622 to 722), and it worked without reactivating (again). Then I moved it back to the original...

    622 -> 722 -- What did you send back ?

    HDMI port finally died on my 622 (one of the original boxes). So, I decided to cough up the $75 and 2 yr commit and give the 722 a try. I received a box w/ remote, cables (even Component & HDMI), manual, etc. So, can I send back JUST the 622? I wouldn't mind having the extra remotes...

    How about a Poll -> Are Dual Format Players Gaining Ground ?

    With so many exclusive titles on both sides I decided not to choose. I can play both. For me the format war is mostly over. I suppose the only risk is if one format wins and my player dies (leaving me w/ unplayable discs). I'm curious, how many of you can play both formats ? Edit: What...

    Supreme Court restricts patents on products that utilize pre existing inventions

    NY Times: WASHINGTON, April 30 — The Supreme Court, in its most important patent ruling in years, on Monday raised the bar for obtaining patents on new products that combine elements of pre-existing inventions. If the combination results from nothing more than “ordinary innovation” and “does...

    Daylight Savings & the 501/508/510

    Looks like the old problem is back... On Sunday the EPG shows the 10pm news starting at 9. A timer for Sunday or later created based on the incorrect EPG will likely not fire correctly. This is the same problem we'd been dealing with for years. Seems like it finally got fixed around a...

    501/508/510 - Version 366

    501/508/510 - Version 366 I got it last week. Went straight from 363. My only timer is a manually created M-F to recording the morning news. It missed the timer the morning the software arrived. Then, missed it again this morning. The timer seems to be more reliable if the 510 is left...

    622 L365 + PocketDish - Transfers Stalling?

    Been getting incomplete transfers. On my last attempt the 622 locked up. Couldn't even move to the cancel button. Unplugging the USB cable did nothing. Had to reboot. Sometimes the 622 doesn't "see" the PocketDish (until I reboot it). I haven't done a PocketDish transfer in awhile...

    FS: Dish PVR 508 $125

    Let's see, they are going for 125-175 on E-Bay (508's are sometimes selling higher then 510's -> no PVR fee). I'll target the low-end for my friends here and say $125 plus shipping. If your in the Denver area you can come pick it up. The box has a yellow card, and was recently plugged...

    921 L216 Spooled This Morning

    Fixed a problem where people who's Dish locals were not in the 8000 range were not getting OTA guide data. Also fixed the "bug" in L215 which allowed people who don't subscribe to locals to get (free) OTA guide data. So, it usually takes from 3-6 months to get a 921 software release out...
