    Dish and Closed Captions

    Well, MikeD-C05, thanks for that. :hatsoff When I realized the software update made the green button CC On/Off I thought, "Why didn't they do this years ago?"

    Dish and Closed Captions

    I'm not on the forum very much, and this is old news (since Dec. 8?), but a personal thanks from me to Dish for adding a Closed Caption button with the recent Hopper software upgrade! I hope the addition of CC control is available on all Dish remotes, regardless of system configuration, not...

    Closed Caption Issue

    I notice this dropping of CC most when playing back recordings. I would go to the menu CC setting, turn it OFF, and then back ON without leaving the menu and that would "fix" the CC stoppage. Hope the suggestion to pause and resume will work for me, because my "fix" time consuming. And 100%...

    Hopper crapping out?

    Same here, Hopper can become unresponsive to any buttons, and then freeze and reboot. I didn't see this until a very recent update to software.

    OTA blocked (Media General Station)

    Why can't we receive the OTA EPG? Weird behavior with WKRG Mobile. The satellite feed has the "Important Info" warning for all time slots in the EPG, and that make sense. But the main OTA duplicates the sat feed "Important Info" warnings in all time slots for WKRG while the correct EPG info...

    Will the lost episodes of "Breaking Bad" be rerun?

    Yes, you did see them just a few weeks ago. I recorded them and am almost caught up with the year. Just two recorded episodes left and then I have to wait with everybody else for the final episodes later this year.

    Wee Sall Hopper

    And, there's an OTA USB module you can add to the Hopper to take you up to 4 actual tuners (3 tuner in the Hopper and 1 tuner in OTA module). Beats the ViP722, but you do have pony up another $30 for the OTA. Nice thing about the Hopper OTA setup; all the Joeys have the OTA channels routed to...

    Timer chops off last minute of some shows

    With the 722, I thought the programming getting truncated was maybe caused by the next hour of programming grabbing the available tuners. Just guessing. Just starting the Hopper, but PTAT could fix your issue for network programming: It appears within PTAT you can set a program you desire to...

    PTAT and recording series?

    New to Hopper after years with the 722 ViP DVR. If I use the "Record Series" option within PTAT, is the series recording going to become independent of PTAT and use another tuner, or will PTAT just automatically move the weekly recording of this program to a series folder of saved programs?

    Hopper Upgrades

    Interested in moving from a two ViP722 DVR setup for three televisions to a Hopper configuration.

    Watch PTAT in real time?

    Another question: Any problem with time shifting during a PTAT recording? In other words, can you pause something you're watching in the PTAT block? I would expect not, but thought I would ask.

    Watch PTAT in real time?

    Interesting... I asked the first question because of the "when does PTAT show up in folder" questions and response suggested access to PTAT recordings appeared after the block recording was finished, like the next day, in some cases. And that suggested a bit of a limitation to the number of...

    Watch PTAT in real time?

    And a second question: Does PTAT had any way to cope with unscheduled delays, like from football? Recording the Good Wife was a problem this past season as games ran past their schedule. I missing the ending on couple of shows because of it, until I added extra time to the recording.

    Watch PTAT in real time?

    Just to clarify how the Prime Time Any Time works before going for an upgrade to Hopper: If someone on either Hopper or Joey wants to watch primetime shows when they are being recorded, can it be watched from the DVR, or will it require the Hopper to use another tuner separate from the one PTAT...

    322 to 222k upgrade

    jlong27, glad it went smooth. Since you have a 622 and you're impressed with the 222k, care to expand on what impressed you? I called in to do battle with CSR. Told I aren't entitled to upgrade just yet. Offered the information that my last upgrade to the ViP722 was June 2008, and included...

    322 to 222k upgrade

    Looks like I'm next. Getting the kid a 32 inch 720p for Christmas. My current setup is a VIP 722 for the main screen and a 322 for two SDTV in the bedroom. I did the on-line chat as was told I can pay $299.99 for a "solo HD receiver" if I want to trade up from the 322 to something HD capable...

    Hooking up External Hard Drive to VIP211

    ??? That lead to a question: Does Dish charge the "one-time activation fee" just to activate the USB port for an external HD, or, as implied here, does Dish charge the "one-time activation fee" for the drive? In other words, if you have two drives you are using, did you have to pay $39.99 twice?
