    Hooper Starting Up Everyday at the Same Time

    We have a Hooper with Sling, a wired Joey and a wireless Joey in our RV. (The reason we have a Hooper with Sling instead of a Hooper 3 is that the built in automatic dish only has two cables going to the RV.) Everyday at about the same time (3:30 EST), the Joey display 88888 and 99999 errors...

    Mystery package from Dish

    We paused our home service for six months. Shortly after calling to restore service, I received a return box in the mail. After three calls to Dish (the first two telling me to ignore the box), it was determined for some reason when I restored service they didn't restore one of my Joeys...

    Screensaver

    Your harmony isn't turning everything off, the TV is staying on. Make sure the harmony is set to turn off devices not being used.

    Dish in RV

    You are right, I missed your point and thought you were saying you had a dome that used 48 volts. The change from 12 ro 48 still requires different wiring.

    Dish in RV

    A couple of more thoughts. You can't use a Hopper with a dome because the dome only receives one satellite at a time. The problem for me was that I wanted a Hooper at home. So instead of bringing the home receiver along as I had in the past, I purchased the 722K and started a pay-as-you-go...

    Dish in RV

    My Winegard Road Trip and my Winegard Carryout both use 12 volts.

    Dish in RV

    The short answer is yes, I use a 722K with a Winegard dome. The limitation is that the dome can only receive one satellite at a time so if you want to watch or record a second channel, it has to be on the same satellite. The setup still works for me because most of the satellite programs are...

    OTA adapter tuner guide question

    When we arrive at a new location with our RV I can usually force the guide to refresh by clicking on the 30 second forward skip button (used to skip a day ahead) a couple of times. I then get a message that guide data is outdated and asking if I would like to refresh. This gets the satellite...

    Tired of Blackout Risks

    This could easily be solved it really was 'Free Enterprise". Let a station withhold their service until their price is met. But also let the satellite/cable provider shop for outside stations that are asking for less money. This is 'Fee Enterprise' and adds completion where there is none now...

    Unable to Change Channel

    Remember that you have to be in Live mode to change the channel. If you backed up to replay something you won't be able to change the channel.

    Not all shows available for transfer

    We just moved to our pay-as-you-go RV account from our home account and I was going to transfer unwatched TV shows to the external hard drive. None of the PTAT show were available for transfer. They didn't show up even though I had created timers for them and they showed up in My Recordings...

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    I think last night's problem (Elementary) was related to just that program. I didn't watch it until late this afternoon and AutoHop was still not there. Other programs from last night on the same network had AutoHop. Jim

    These are a few of my least favorite things (Hopper Issues)

    While fortunately it doesn't happen often, for me the biggest problem for me is the fact PTAT can't recover after a rain interruption. If the signal is interrupted for weather, when the signal returns only the ABC station has been recorded. The CBS signal is there if you go to live TV, but...

    DISH on the road, in RV

    Several comments on the subject: You do NOT need to buy the Dish 211 receiver. Any receiver that you BUY can be used on the pay as you go plan. Dish has never recommended any receiver with a hard drive for RV's. We have used four different hard drive models without a problem (currently...

    PTAT just screwed up big time!!!

    Our PTAT switched to (and recorded) ABC during a rain storm a week ago.

    All timers have quit recording

    If you have a program that is in PTAT to record, it will show up as skipped prior to its scheduled time. It will still record (copy the program from PTAT.)

    Delete PTAT Recording

    The PDF Hooper manual states: It's probably right in front of me but I can't find a delete option (only a save option.) If I can delete things I'm not interested in, it will make it a lot easier to find what I am interested in. Jim

    External Hard Drive

    Thanks, I knew it had to be right in front of me. I didn't realize that there was a scroll-bar with more options.

    External Hard Drive

    That's what the pdf manual stated, but on the Hopper I just had installed there is no transfer icon. I have Parental Controls, Guide Settings, Closed Captioning, Audio, DVR Defaults, Remote Manager, Format TV, Network Security and Diagnostics. Maybe they pulled it because of the problems. Jim

    External Hard Drive

    The answer is probably right in front of me but I don't see it. I have an external hard drive hooked up to my Hooper. I can watch (and delete) previously recorded programs on it without any problem but I can figure out how to transfer new programs to the hard drive and transfer previously...

    AllAmericaDirect

    Well, it appears this was a false alarm and the problem is on my end. My wife just told me that she is getting a busy on every number she dials from our land line. I tried the number from my cell phone and it works (although business hours don't start until 11AM.) Now I just have to call...
