    Adding Second Hopper for RV

    Thanks for the confirmation. So that leaves the Wally. Are external HDs interchangeable between the H3 and the Wally with an external HD? That is can external HD content made on an H3 play on the Wally after moving the drive if both are on the same account? Jay

    Adding Second Hopper for RV

    Hi All, I currently have a Hopper3 plus 2 Joey2s in the house (Leased). I own a HWS from a previous account. I have a Motorhome. Can I add the HWS to the current house account for RV use? I seem to remember reading somewhere, you can't have an H3 and HWS on same account. I understand the...

    Hopper 3 - Fan on, rest of Hopper dead

    Hope anecdotal evidence is good! Hopper 3 is due tomorrow. I am in a rural area, so the only TV I can watch now is what is still on the DVR drive of an old HWS from 2015 that was in the closet :-) Jay

    Hopper 3 - Fan on, rest of Hopper dead

    DId a chat with Dish. Replacement Hopper is being shipped. I have timers backed up in one of the remotes not too long ago. Shame to lose the content of the main drive (57%), but have most of the better stuff on the external drive. Thanks! Jay

    Hopper 3 - Fan on, rest of Hopper dead

    Hi Guys, Had a storm go through yesterday. Power knocked out. Hopper 3 on UPS. After power out for a few minutes, turned off UPS. Now when powering up, the cooling fan is on high and there is nothing else happening on the Hopper. No power light, no output. I tried: 1 - Unplugging again. 2...

    Upgrade Owned Equipment?

    I have a HWS, Joey 1.0 and 1000.4 (EA). Also AT120. All the equipment is owned by me. Is it possible to do an upgrade or do I need to re-buy? Desired config would be Hopper 3, Joey 2.0 and Flex pack. Disk could get swapped to 1000.2 or if the DPH42 is out keep it. Thanks! Jay

    Changing Programming to Flex Pack

    Confirmed the HWS has a White G4 card. I have had many, many Dish receiver receivers in the last 20 years. First receiver was a 4000 :-) Jay

    Changing Programming to Flex Pack

    Not sure. Have about a 3 year old HWS with whatever it came with. Is some new card required for Flex? Not sure I understand why this matters. Jay

    Changing Programming to Flex Pack

    I was just on the Dish Network site (I am an existing customer) and was trying to change my programing from AT120 to Flex. There is currently no option to change to Flex Plan in the list of plans. It still shows the discontinues Smart Pack. Can existing customers change to Flex Plan? If so, I...

    Completely dead 40.0 remote - Protection Plan?

    This is the first broken Dish remote I have ever had. I still have Dish remotes dating back more that a decade from all old defunct receiver generations - Dish 4000/5000, Dishplayer, Dish DVR 508 remotes all gathering dust. Will try to hunt up a DiRT member.... Thanks! Jay

    Completely dead 40.0 remote - Protection Plan?

    I have a completely dead 40.0 remote. Tried two new sets of batteries. No lights whatsoever. I tried the remote reset procedure too. No response at all. I have the Dish protection plan. Are remotes covered? Do they charge shipping? Is the shipping more that buying a remote off e-bay...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    No roof crawling required unless your switch is outside. Just disconnect the 61.5 satellite wire(s) at the switch. Run a switch check on the dishplayer (2 minutes). Wait for the 15 minute guide download. Reconnect the wires at the switch. That's it. About 20 minutes total and you only...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    Well, removing 61.5 satellite and re-doing switch check, then getting the guide seems to be small enough not to cause the problem. It is a good work around for me as there is nothing on 61.5 that I care about. Still doing some other checking to see if there is another way. Will post in a...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    OK, without 61.5 hooked up and after a 3AM download, all my channels tne to the right ones. Next is to backup the 61.5 satellite (without running a switch check) and wait for tonoghts update to see if the problem stays gone. If it does, the following day, I will re-run the switch check with...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    I think I tried that and it didn't help, but not sure I waited for the 3am update. Everything is setup with a patch panel here, so will experiment tonight and post an update in the morning. Tonights try will be to disconnect 61.5, run a switch check, get "short guide", test functionality, then...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    Thanks, Bill R. I realize I can't permanently fix it, but I just want to move the problem "UP" by about 10 channels. :-) The ONLY useful channel to me on 61.5 is CBSHD that is only really used by my 6000. I may remove 61.5 from the SW64 and just cascade in a SW21 in for the 6000 like I...

    Strange Guide problem, DP7100 and DC Locals

    Thanks for the confirmation! As with any problem, the trick is figuring if the problem is at their end or ours. Mine happened suddenly. I unplugged it, in pre-thunderstorm preparation (I like to disconnect everything beforehand if possible) and when it was plugged in later, it had the...

    Background I have a Dishplayer 7100 that see 119/110/61.5 via SW64. I have AT180,Washington DC locals, Supers and West Coast locals. All receivers, SW-64 and A/V equipment are on UPS's. Other recivers are 501/6000/5000. Problem When I tune to any of the "main" (110) DC locals (8070 thru...
