    SatelliteGuys 2019 Team Summit Review

    Thanks, Scott! Good information. I wondered how nervous James Wilde was in having to do a live demo of voice search. ;) "activate nap mode" "activate NAP mode" "ACTIVATE. NAP. MO..." Son of a... <walks over to devices to manually activate nap mode>

    DISH Anywhere when traveling w/o internet

    One frustration for me when using the Dish Anywhere app on my Android tablet is an annoying message I get periodically when opening a good, transferred recording. "The license is not available to play this video." I only use DA when traveling so I don't use it all the time. The message drove me...

    Dish Anywhere Waiting to Prepare

    **UPDATE** In case anyone finds this post. I thought that the Hopper will keep the prepared files until the recording is finally deleted. I guess not. Did not notice the little down arrow icon which means you can transfer immediately as it has been processed on the Hopper. If no icon then there...

    Dish Anywhere Waiting to Prepare

    Around March of last year I was getting ready for some business travel and wanted to put some recordings on my DA app (Android). Have don't this many times. I must have had the 'prepare for mobile' OFF on the H3 as I saw that the selected items went to the dreaded waiting to prepare... step. I...

    Hopper 3 and Dolby Atmos Audio

    Thank you both. I did not know if the Atmos data was just that. Data as part of the audio channel. Or if Dish had to build in any sort of capability to pass or handle that. Actually, was looking at the baby brother to the 950, the 850. I don't need the surround for the family room and the 850...

    Hopper 3 and Dolby Atmos Audio

    I searched the forums and did not really find an answer. I am looking to add a soundbar to my family room Sony 4K TV and H3 setup. I am particular about audio and many of the "affordable" soundbars I heard sound bad or the voice component sounds like someone talking in a tin can. I see there are...

    Joey via ethernet?

    Agree with HIFI. I have a wireless Joey that I don't use all the time and don't want to keep having to remember to turn the access point on when using. So I have the ethernet connected directly and no WAP. Works like a champ for me.

    Bug Report: Hopper 3 pause issue, suggested fix!

    I also proposed a long time ago that they should use one of those unused tuners active and buffering for at least 15 seconds AFTER someone turns off the hopper. We all know the Hopper never really shuts off so this should have been a no-brainer implemented at H3 launch. The user benefit is that...

    Samsung KS8500 Curved and Hopper 3 question?

    This is my personal feedback so take it as such! I too love Samsung and was torn recently between Sony and Samsung for our upgrade to a new 55" 4K TV. Ultimately I went with a flat screen Sony, mainly for their better 4K upscaling and this model's better viewing angle. But again was almost a...

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    For me I tried this a number of times. I did not see a noticeable difference. I did see the TV's info banner note the resolution difference though. Maybe my new Sony is just really good at 4K upscaling like it claims. ;-)

    Did you know the Hopper 3 can “force” 4K output on all shows?

    Will be interesting to get feedback on this as from what I understand, there is no "push out 4K" for video signals that truly are NOT 4K as the source. As in the movies/shows that indicate they are 4K. Unless there is something happening that is different than "regular" viewing here? Our 4K TV's...

    Can I copy the recordings directly off the internal drive?

    Miner I messed with this not too long ago. Had a 211 receiver but not a DVR. I had a connected EHD so it was a pseudo-DVR. Drive started failing so I messed about with trying to not lose recordings. I had some limited success but the failing drive was dying so fast it would take an hour to copy...

    Hopper3 - 4k?

    patmurphey lparsons21 n0qcu Big thanks! For some reason the upscaling of other content stuck in my head. Normally I jump pretty quickly into new tech but our Sony HD TVs we bought years ago were still perfect so I decided to wait until now. When prices for pretty good TV's have come waaay...

    Hopper3 - 4k?

    Scott Greczkowski Hi. For the 4K coming out of the H3, I thought aside from the true 4K content that is labeled, that the H3 upscales the other non-4K HD content. Is this correct? I am very familiar with all the tech stuff, but we just bought a Sony 4K TV last night. The newer 850D that's...

    Hopper 3 reliability

    My 2 cents: I'd never give this thing up! Yes, you may be reading about some bugs or shortcomings in some aspects of the interface but as far as 'reliability' I've had no issues. Bugs will get fixed and new enhancements will be added in the future just like all DVRs before it. Prime Time...

    4K on Hopper 3

    Was hoping it would be good as well. Planning on getting a good 4K during the holiday sales. Like a mid-end LG (can't afford OLED!) or Samsung SUHD. I do see an improvement in quality as compared to the lower priced 4K's you see. (not trying to open a debate, know there are dedicated threads for...

    Strange New Generic Icons on H3

    Ha Ha! I was just thinking about that and snapped this before I saw your post. Over the years we all have seen icons change at odd times, but this time it struck me as funny. The Goldbergs is some dude with a hottie on the couch. Like he's really thinking about what's on the television.

    Thanks. I kinda thought so. Sure the wireless and 4K are different because they are truly a different type of Joey with different power requirements.

    Help me like Remote v 50

    While the 50/52 do not have a dedicated stop button, you can long press the Back button to get the recording to stop playback and at least go to live TV. Would be nice to go to the DVR menu instead. Also, if you press the channel up or down you can stop the recording playback to live TV. All...

    Any Way to Restrict Deleting and/or Recording?

    ...and they cannot both be on the same network. Have to be independent of each other so no sharing (viewing) of recordings from one H3 to the other. Why a two account system may just be a good (albeit more expensive) option for the ones with a not-so-better half manning the remote! ;)
