    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    Just checking, this is the one right, Dish 1000.2 DPP Twin? And I can use the same bracket and mounting arm that I have right now? I know this one is an A4... can't find an A7 yet... but just wanted to make sure I was getting the right one. Also, I only connect 2 coaxes to the first two ports...

    Skip or short freeze on live Hopper 3 viewing?

    Yes. I've been dealing with that exact issue on my 4K Joey for 6 years now. Just ask TheKrell cause he's tired of seeing me post about it. That's why I'm trying to change to a 2-Hopper setup, since the problem never happens on my H3, only on the joey itself. And yes, I have replaced the joey...

    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    Alright, so speaking of ducks in a row, I need to pick your brain again. I just got the DPH42 switch and the power inserter in the mail. I've attached a few photos so you can see my current outside setup, which I've been using this whole time with just one Hopper 3 and a 4K joey. Based off...

    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    There's something I wanted to ask about. The DPH42 that I'm looking at buying says: "Requires Dish Pro or Dish Pro Plus LNBFs. WILL NOT WORK with Hybrid LNBFs." But the LNBF I currently have outside is the DISH 1000.2 DISHPRO HYBRID TWIN (eastern arc) LNBF. So do I need a new LNBF so the DPH42...

    Question about selling 4K Joey

    A few years ago, I bought a 4K Joey outright, not a rental or tied to any contract or anything. Now I'm looking to sell it. What do I need to do so that the person buying it can actually use it? Right now, it's listed on my account as being "powered off". I assume it needs to be removed from my...

    Game show network dispute

    As a fan of game shows, 100% agree. If Buzzr wasn't available, maybe I'd miss GSN, but their current strategy of producing extremely cheap and generic $10k game shows that air 5 days a week and have 100+ episodes a season just causes massive burnout. Oversaturation. Literally, GSN is the only...

    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    No, it's specifically to fix the problem with the 4K Joey's live feed intermittently freezing. I'll be watching a live program and then randomly out of nowhere, the picture and sound will just pixelate/freeze for 5-10 seconds, then go back to normal. Doesn't matter which channel it's on either...

    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    Okay, so I made an updated diagram just to make sure I understand this right... - 2 Coax connected from outside Dish LNB into 42 switch. - 2 Coax from 42 switch into Duo Hub. - 1 Coax from Duo Hub into 1st Hopper 3. - 1 Coax from Duo Hub into Power Inserter. - 1 Coax from Power Inserter into...

    Two Hopper 3 DVRs Installation

    Does someone still have the diagram showing how to connect two Hopper 3s again? I currently have one H3 and one 4K Joey, set up through a 1000.2 eastern arc hybrid lnb and solo hub. The plan is to replace the Joey with the second H3. Already purchased a duo hub and I have three coax cables...

    What happened to the uplink site?

    Weird. Some of the locals are still in a carriage dispute like my NBC station in Buffalo NY, even though the site doesn't list them as under dispute...

    External Hard Drive Keeps Disappearing

    Huh, you're right. Now I feel like an idiot. All this time, I thought going to Tools > Reset Hopper was the same thing as hitting the red button, but it never got the drive to appear, so I thought power-cycling the drive itself was the only option. Thanks.

    External Hard Drive Keeps Disappearing

    Maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but figured I'd ask anyway. I'm using a WD Elements 6 TB USB 3.0 external hard drive with my Hopper 3. It seems like every day or two, usually after the nightly reset, the "Other Devices" option in the DVR menu disappears entirely, like the H3 all of a...

    Hopper 3 Software H305 5/14

    Now if only Rovi could get their act together with their guide info. My PTAT isn't working again because practically every program beyond the next 2-3 hours says "No description available for this event." Program titles seem correct, but the actual description info is wrong. And yes, I did try...

    2021 Dish Prices

    That is correct. In fact, you can often get Starz and Showtime for free from loyalty. The catch is you have to keep calling back every 3 and 2 months respectively to have them re-add the promo. The $10 savings you're getting is good, but it's not a special discount.

    Dish Locals Map

    I remember a few years ago, someone here posted a link to a website that showed all the local channels available for every city in each state, and whether each station was currently active or in a carriage dispute. It had a large chart on it with all the cities listed alphabetically and...

    Any Dish disputes with New York locals?

    It was WCBS, WNBC, WNYW (FOX) and WABC in New York, NY. Seems like everything's working again now. I checked my PTAT folder again and it looks like recordings for the locals resumed starting at 9:14 pm, and the live feeds are currently all back up as of right now. I'll have to keep an eye on...

    Any Dish disputes with New York locals?

    Eastern, 61.5 Edit -- Actually, just checked right now (8:50am) and NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX are back up again, but the smaller local channels MeTV, myTV, CW, PBS, ION and feTV are all still displaying that same message. As far as the main networks go, they must've been down from 8pm last night...

    Any Dish disputes with New York locals?

    I was just checking my PTAT folder for Thursday April 15 and nothing was recorded earlier tonight. Then I tried changing the channel to one of my locals to watch live tv and this message appeared on screen: "Local Channels Interrupted - Error 536. We are aware of this issue and are working...

    2021 Dish Prices

    It depends on your add-ons. I'm at $96 with AT250 + locals, and that's with one H3 and one 4K Joey. But I don't have any premium movie/sports channels or anything else added right now. Krell is right about the ads though. A lot of these "premium" streaming services still force you to watch ads...
