    Program Showing at Hopper 3 Startup

    When I turn my Hopper 3 on, it shows the home screen with a program running in the upper right corner window. The initial program selected is almost never a channel that we watch. For the last few weeks, it has been HLN ... 202 or something like that. We never watch that channel. Prior to...

    Cannot set timer

    Beginning this morning, cannot set a timer for either future or currently showing program. Get a message "Timer Creation Failed, Try again later" error 1281 This is on a hopper 3 that is about 3 months old. I have never seen this before. Thought I'd ask before I whine at tech support.

    4K on Hopper 3

    Have a hopper 3 and am thinking about getting a 4K TV. How much 4k content is available on dish right now? Have looked at the dish web site and couldn't find a good answer. Also, most 4k tvs upscale all lower input to 4k. If you have a 4k tv, how does standard HD look on your 4K box. Is...

    Hopper 3 external drives have disappeared

    Hi, have had the H3 for about 6 weeks. Have 2 hard drives connected to the device. All was fine and both were working with the hopper until a day ago when they disappeared from the DVR display. Have tried unplugging, power recycle, etc. I cannot believe that both drives failed at the same...

    Time limit for $99 622

    Is there a time limit for Dish's offer to upgrade a 921/942 for $99 after April 1. I somehow got the impression that it was a limited time offer. I'd like to either confirm my impression or squash it. Calling Dish wouldn't give me any comfort (how would a CSR know) so I'll ask you guys.

    Hardware for two 622s

    In April, I'll be upgrading a 921 to a 622. I'm also planning on purchasing another 622 since Dish won't lease two of these boxes to the same guy. I have two Dish 500s: one with DP Twin , the other with a DP Dual, and I have a DP-34 switch. Will this be adequate to handle two 622s? If not...

    HDTV upconverter

    does anyone have experience with the ADS hdtv upconverter. I've got a LCD HDTV in my bedroom, which is being driven off of a 501 and an OTA tuner. In the HD mode, the picture is outstanding, but when viewing off of the 501, the picture sucks. The downstairs set is not LCD and I'm viewing it...
