    Any experience using an IR extender with a Hopper 3?

    I received my Hopper 3 last week. I use a Harmony 650 remote. The remote works fine with no changes but it seems the IR on the Hopper 3 is less sensitive than my old Hopper s/Sling and I'm having to switch between my Harmony and the Dish remote. (I want to stay with the Harmony remote because of...

    Hopper disrupting HDMI communication?

    I know this does not solve the root problem, but I'm using a Harmony remote with my Hopper w/Sling. It allows me to turn on/set the right inputs/control and turn off all my devices which include the Hopper w/Slide, a Sumsung TV, an Onyko receiver and a Samsung Blue Ray player with a single...

    Hopper Upgrades

    Like others, now that the OTA adapter is out I'm considering an upgrade to a Hopper. I currently have a 722, one HD TV and one non-HD TV. I like the 722 as it can feed both TVs without having to pay for an additional outlet. If I read the Hopper information correctly, I would have to upgrade to...

    622 DVR Replacement Time Frame?

    I just went through a replacement for the exact same reasons. I placed the call on July 3rd and received the new receiver on July 9th. It actually shipped on July 6th. Of course I placed my call over a holiday weekend so your mileage may vary. Replacement was a 622, not a 722.

    Can't Find 61.5

    same problem I have the same problem as you do with almost exactly the same setup, expect for a Dish 300 for 61.5 and a SW64. If after running the switch test you select save you'll get the result of the switch test. In my case it shows that I've lost input 2 from the Dish 300. I'm betting a...

    OTA HD Picture Size Question

    I had a similiar problem with my TV. I found an aspect ratio setting on the tv that defaults to 6x9. I have to reset it to 4x3 every time I turn on the TV as it does not maintain the setting once turned off (my harmany remote does that for me). I have the 622 set on 4x3 #2. This combination...

    Not elligible for 622

    I just upgraded my 522 to a 622. The 522 was leased, my dish is owned. Since I did not lease everything I was not elgible for the $10 a month credit but did get the upgrade for $199. They did not take the 522 at the time of the 622 install. I'm assuming that I'll get an empty box to return it...
