Thanks Halo, didn't realize the scales were the same now. Appreciate it.

Been having some picture break-up/pixelation problems over the past couple days on 129/trans 10 (SoCal locals). They're aware of some video issues on that beam, but while talking to the advanced tech support rep, she brought up they like to see 50 as a minimum signal strength, which I've never...

S234 has caused my Hopper to become increasingly unreliable. Slowness, tuner management issues, audio problems, channel changes going to black, banner info incorrect/not updating, time remaining incorrect and recording problems where the recording icon in My Recordings stays stuck on the program...

Just got 229 as well. It's more colorful. I do like bluetooth and the ability to restore deleted recordings.

Had to replace mine a few months back as well after it died. So far so good on the replacement.

221's in the wild as of tonight.

Issue that was fixed (or maybe not) is back again: incorrect/stuck guide data. If I switch channels on the hopper, and go back into the guide or use the right arrow to see what's coming up, it stays on a previous channel's info. No way to fix unless that tuner releases or I change channels on...

:up Thought the same thing many times. Separately, my DVR freeze/pause events from last night resolved after the nightly reset. Still, the number of problems over the last few releases compared to prior is really annoying.

New bug(s) for me tonight - the Olympic "app" downloaded this evening, and when I went to my hopper, noticed the green power light was on, without the Hopper physically being on - was on the new screensaver. Turned it on - when going to playback from DVR, it froze once on black screen after...

Missed that had changed, thanks 3Halo. I stand corrected. I'm kind of amazed they implemented that without messing up everyone's recording partitions. Separately, just ran into a bug: Reset my network, and went into the Network Settings>Broadband to check the connection came back properly...

The PTAT partition is separate from the user partition. My assumption is the avail space shown may only be showing the user partition, hence when you delete shows from the PTAT side, it may not show up as extra space.

Thanks Halo.

Anyone else noticing more or frequent system integrity checks with 213 and/or after an EHD is hooked up? Trying to track an issue. Haven't had my hoppers do a system integrity check in the entire time I've had them, then the past few days it's every night on one of them. I have a hunch it's...

Dish's web portals and app are buggy and unreliable still when it comes to scheduling and playback.

Likely just the $7 per month for another Joey down the road. Good luck on the install! Hopper is by far the best DVR Dish has put out. Worlds better than the 722k.

Pat, slow channel changes is one of the symptoms of the problems with 213, although I'm not sure there is a "normal" with this software update. Can't say whether dishfan82's problem is directly related to the update, but if the problem has just started to happen within the past 2 weeks, there's...

I'm going to defer to others on this. I'd err on the side of no with regards to the installer making it happen, especially if it's an internal Dish tech. If it's a vendor, they may be more willing, but the chances are also good they'll have no idea what you're trying to do when it comes to...

Definitely not part of a normal install. If you get a good install tech, they may know how to do what you're asking, but I would not count on it. Converting the composite to coax will require an RF modulator they likely will not have with them. You might get lucky, but again, don't count on it...

You are definitely getting a good deal. Normally $200 for 2 Hoppers being reported here. You can set individual ratings locks for the kids on each Hopper or Joey, or if you do 2 Hoppers, you can isolate the Hoppers from each other, and therefore any Joey attached to those Hoppers would only be...

If a timer fires, the box isn't entirely in standby - there's a routine being executed that tells the IRD to buffer/record the stream, with some padding on each side before the box goes back to full standby. Tivo and Dtv originally used a hardware buffering scheme which were each proprietary. I...

The latest software update (s213) made changes to the MoCA networking code that is used by the Hoppers, Joeys and node to talk to each other. For whatever reason, there are bugs in that code that are causing issues like slow channel changes. Red Button Reset may fix it, or if you look up in the...

For those with problems with slow channel changes or freezes, if you haven't already: Use one internet connection only. Reset all of your boxes via red button or power reset. Repower the Hopper with the internet connection first. After the reset, give the H/J's 3-5 minutes to re-setup all of...

Dish implements their buffering differently than both Tivo and Dtv in software, which I've been told doesn't allow for buffering while the box is in standby. I wish it worked all the time too.

It might be useful for Dish to know all configurations having problems, otherwise, I'd agree. That made me laugh. Mine's had a 1:32a update as well for at least the past several days. It's also had multiple updates on some nights.

They are definitely trying to use MoCA by default, just in a way that doesn't necessarily work for the best. I'm trying to figure out why they wouldn't just let each box use a direct network connection as first option, before making MoCA the next best thing. My hoppers had multiple nightly...
