I came here to catch up on the 129 transition and this thread made me smile. It reminded of years past when I had more free time to be a part of this community. So glad to see it’s still around and thriving!

Yes. The hard drive will work with the Hopper without needing to be reformatted. Sent from my iPhone using the SatelliteGuys app!

In my experience, when I use save series, it will record only new if the episode I select it from is a new episode and will record new and reruns if the episode I select it from is a rerun. This is from the guide, so how you're doing it may vary. However, if PTAT has already recorded it, the...

As much as I like this site, posting here is not going to save a feature or prevent Dish from rolling out software they want to roll out when they want to roll it out.

This made me laugh. Do you really think it's a function of scheduling rather than just a coincidence? If they could have gotten the fix right in the past few releases, it would have gone out. They aren't arbitrarily waiting until October to mirror what happened in 2012...

One point to consider: Given that the H3 has the newer Hopper software, what makes you think the orders Hoppers won't eventually be switched over? Then you'll still have the same aggravation, but on older slower hardware. Your complaints about Dish CS strike me as not being unique to Dish. I...

That's incorrect. The Hopper 3 does support 4K.

I know. I know. Luckily, I downloaded some Amazon and VuDu content onto my iPad so all is not lost.

Really annoyed with myself. I left the hoppergo plugged in overnight to prepare and transfer two movies and managed to leave it plugged into the H3 instead of bringing it with me.

Traveling for work next week. Looking forward to trying this out in the evenings.

I've been using 3 TB for several years now.

And you know this is more accurate how? Were you secretly involved in testing the Hopper UI on 722s before Dish decided to scrap it for non-technical reasons? If the answer is no, then I question your claim of greater accuracy for your explanation.

Blah blah blah. As worthwhile as the other things you lost are, they're all red herrings since they're not under the purview of the FCC. If the FCC wasn't working on this, they couldn't work on any of those. In fact, they'd probably just be working on some other regulation you'd reflexively...

This isn't a free market scenario. There's no way a new company can jump in and compete in the set top box business. The barriers to entry are enormous with the entrenched providers having all the power and no incentive to allow someone else's STB to compete with what they offer. Hell, look at...

Scott mentioned in a post that four hours is for standalone battery powered usage, but that it can also be plugged in.

Yes. Fastest way is to copy them to an external hard drive. Apparently there will also be a slower hopper to hopper transfer via Ethernet cable.

Correct. The DVR will pick a free tuner whether for live viewing or recording. No tuners are tied to or specifically alloyed to an individual Hopper or Joey.

100 hours at what resolution? With 64 GB, that's probably not HD right?

At only 64 GB, the Hopper Go is a little small for my tastes. Not sure that's enough storage for some of my longer work trips. But at $99, I'll give it a shot.

The H3 is compatible with regular joeys, wireless joeys and 4K joeys. The only joeys that won't work with it are super joeys.

The Amazon phone failed because it was poorly designed, was centered around driving people to use more of Amazon's services (rather than providing a good user experience) and was too expensive for the specs.

I don't see how those are mutually exclusive.

I think that's impossible to know until the new hardware is released. Maybe the new hardware will require the new LNB? I have to think there must be some extra functionality in these other than reduce the number of required cable runs from the Dish from 2 to 1. If not, seems like it wouldn't...

I'd guess national cable channels because of the issues created by OTA transmission and affiliates model of distribution related to locals. Specifically, I see ESPN as a first mover here. Locals via on demand, but linearly, national cable channels.

CES is about hardware. It's extremely unlikely that content distribution deals would be announced then.
