    Dish, trees & cable woes - Seeking Advice

    I have been an extremely happy Dish customer for the past 7 or so years. I had the Everything package and loved pretty much everything. My property and the properties surrounding me have lots and lots of trees. I occasionally had issues when the leaves came out with signal loss and last year...

    PTAT not recording at all when signal is out?

    We had a minor thunderstorm that caused my dish signal to go out at 8pm. The signal is back but now PTAT isn't recording at all. This has happened several times before. I don't understand why the receiver isn't "smart" enough to start recording when the signal is back. Even my 622 would do that.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I got a $10 a month credit for 6 months. No offer of a roku but I have a ps3 so I didn't need one anyway.

    DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

    I'm talking to cust. serv now. So far all I've been offered is 1 free month of Cinemax. :rolleyes: I already subscribe to the "everything" package so I told him that won't do me much good.

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    My Hopper decided not to record any programs on Fox last night in PTAT. I had flipped through the channels throughout the night and Fox was coming in.

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    The past 2 days, my Hopper has been recording all kinds of "old" programs. All of my timers are set to record new programs only, but it's taped old episodes of Pawn Stars, American Pickers, Deadliest Catch, Fact or Fiction, just to name a few.

    Skipped - Already Scheduled (Timer problems)

    Is there any update on this issue from the Dish people? I've had 2 programs get skipped in the past 2 days. One was a soap opera and there's no chance to record it some other time. I like the "idea" of the Hopper, but these timer issues are absolutely ridiculous. What's the point in having a...

    All of my timers are gone

    Dustin - I'm not sure how to do that. This seems to be a guide issue, from what Dish told me. I can't get the guide to download. Resetting, unplugging, check switch, removing the card, etc. does nothing. Edit: Just did a restore via controller. Same as before. No timers, no guide.

    All of my timers are gone

    Sigh, I just talked to Dish. They had me unplug the Hopper. That didn't do anything. They had me do a check switch. That didn't do anything. The guide is empty. So they have to send out an installer. Had the Hopper for less than 2 months and this already. Makes me really happy to be...

    All of my timers are gone

    I hit my DVR button today to watch some shows that should have recorded, only to find they weren't there. I decided to check the daily schedule and it's empty. All of my timers are gone. PTAT is gone from the schedule. I did a system reboot and they're still gone. Ugh. After being...

    How loud is a Hopper?

    Mine varies from almost silent about 70% of the time to sounding like a lawn mower is running one hundred yards away the other 30% of the time.

    Hopper skipping timers without conflict

    The same this is happening to me, except it's not recording the rebroadcast either. 90% of the timers record properly, but the others don't record. They all say "Already scheduled" but scrolling through the schedule reveals that they aren't going to record at all unless I manually override it.

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    I'm having an issue with timers for cable shows not recording. For instance, I have The Killing and Game of Thrones set to record new episodes. Both shows premiere 4/1 but on my daily schedule, the new episodes are x'ed out and marked "already scheduled", but scrolling through as far as the...

    Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

    Thanks so much for the update, Zach. I'm glad to hear this is an issue which will be fixed.

    Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

    I agree. This is so disappointing to me. I love PTAT, but the events limit makes it almost impossible to follow many cable shows. It doesn't make sense that the "old technology" 622 didn't have this issue but the Hopper does.

    Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

    I set all timers manually on the Hopper. I didn't use Dish Online at all and still had this problem.

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    How do we view events? I'd imagine that is the problem, but there should be some way to work around that issue, especially since all of my timers were set to only record new episodes. The 622 never had a problem with exceeding events and I had all of the timers from the Hopper, but 70 others...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    The events limit renders cable timers virtually useless. I had 19 timers and today my Hopper was showing that I couldn't set up any more or record any live event. Heck, it wouldn't even record the timers that were already in the system. On my ancient 622 I had 96 timers including the 19 that...

    Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

    My Hopper wouldn't record at all today. Even the first timers I set up weren't recording. I deleted all of my timers and that allowed me to record events again. I only had 19 timers and all were set to record new episodes only. It's pretty disappointing that the Hopper has this problem when...

    I actually deactivated PTAT at the suggestion of the online tech and I was still getting the 041 error message with only 19 timers.

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    Very true! After talking to tech support, I went through and manually deleted all of my timers. Now, I can record things again. :confused: How could only 19 timers fill up the Hoppers timers/events? I had 96 timers on my old 622 including all 19 of these and 77 others.

    Hopper has reached max timers after only 33

    Were you able to get this problem resolved? I'm getting error 041 with 19 timers and now the Hopper won't record anything, including current times. Dish is sending a tech to my house Wed but until then I'm out of luck.

    Well, my brand new Hopper won't record anything. The online tech had me do several reboots and has now scheduled a technician to come to my house. :(

    PTAT Bugs, Problems, Dislikes ...

    The same thing just happened re: the missing recording. Dr. Phil was supposed to record but isn't showing up under DVR. I tried to create a new timer of a different program and received error msg 041 "The max. # of event times has been reached. No more can be created at this time without...
