    VOD not working on Hopper 3

    I'll try that tomorrow, I don't want to interrupt my current prime time recording. I would be surprised (pleasantly) if that works. This has been going on since at least spring and there have been several power outages that should have reset everything.

    VOD not working on Hopper 3

    I am unable to record VOD on the Hopper 3. I can select a program to record and hit OK, but nothing happens and I don't get an error message. Oddly I can record the same VOD program on either Joey. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on.

    Picture freezing on one hopper, possibe node problem?

    I have a Hopper 1 and Hopper 2 along with a Joey. The Hopper 1 picture will freeze often, usually to the point on being usable. When the Joey is linked to the Hopper 1 it will also experience freezing but works find linked to the HWS. Troubleshooting steps that I have tried. When I switched...

    Segate External Hard Drive

    To be clear, you let the Hopper reformat the drive and not the computer.

    Is VOD quality the same as Dish?

    I can tell you when I had DSL with average measured download speeds of 2.5 MB that my VOD movies were not very good and quite soft. When I switched to Comcast with 50 MB downloads the quality went up to the point they were as good if not better than coming right off the dish. By the way I...

    MOCA drops

    This may not be relevant to you but I occasionally get the stuttering and picture freezes and the moca warning comes up red on my screen. What I have found is that my network is getting a lot of collisions on it. My Netgear switch has a warning light that comes on when it receives excessive...

    Poor Picture Quality

    If your picture is pixelated you most likely have a poor signal from the dish. If it is blurry you have something set wrong on the Hopper or the TV or both. I doubt you could tell any difference between Direct and Dish even side by side if both are setup correctly. I had a 622 and 612 before...

    New Hopper and vertical size issue

    I think the problem you are having is an HDMI handshake between the Hopper and your TV. I have 2 hoppers and a Joey and I have he same issue you have but only on one Hopper that is connected to my 46 inch Toshiba. Never a problem on either of the other TVs even one of which is another different...

    Bluetooth Headphones Or Receivers That Auto Connect To Hopper

    Maybe there is an issue with your particular HWS. I have tried several different brands on both my hoppers and have never had to re pair any of them. I really like my Sound Bot SB220 for for comfort and sound quality. Something I can't say for some of my others although I never had to pair...

    Original Hopper On Demand Picture Quality

    I have both the HWS and original hopper neither one requires me download the whole thing before viewing. I have watched several movies in the last several days and started watching right away. The only thing you can't do is fast forward very far ahead until it has been recording for a while...

    HWS went bonkers...

    There seems to be several threads with similar issues. I have been having the issue as well for the last couple of weeks on my HWS. It usually occurs when the weather is less than perfect with rain or dark clouds. When it happens I lose my local channels, PTAT show that it continues to record...

    How Can You Cancel A Ppv Movie

    Thanks. Hard to believe you can change your programing and pay your bills right from your receiver but can't cancel a ppv scheduled a week in advance. Really lame.

    How Can You Cancel A Ppv Movie

    Sorry if this has bee asked before, but does anyone know how to cancel a future PPV movie? My wife accidentally ordered a PPV movie scheduled for next week. The move is also on a premium channel we already pay for. I canceled the timer it setup but I see no way of removing it from the list of...

    Two Hoppers not recording PTAT?

    I am in the Pittsburgh area and our ABC is a Hearst station and it recorded OK last night. I don't know why is affected the other 3 PTAT stations.

    Two Hoppers not recording PTAT?

    My HWS didn't record PTAT either. I was able to manually push the record button when my wife noticed the red record light wasn't on and the individual show would record. However, when I tried to set the PTAT channels to record later in the evening I could not set them to do so. Fortunately I...

    Programs Missing For Transfer to EHD

    I can confirm you must wait 8 days. Maybe quicker if you have PTAT set to save to short time, I never tried that.

    Newbie here & Switching to Dish

    I would make sure the install specifically states you want the Hopper with sling so that they don't try to install the older Hopper 2000 which does not have sling. Maybe they don't still setup the older models on new installs but I would want them to verify before hand what they are installing.

    Inactivity / screen saver timer

    I started the recording at around 11pm so I think the 1:30am reboot was the culprit. Next time I'll start in the morning.

    Inactivity / screen saver timer

    My wife wants movies copied to DVD so she can watch them on her portable DVD player. I did this regularly on my 622 but this is the first I've tried on the hopper. I tried copying the Sound of Music which is 3 hours. (about 2 hr 55 min more than I could take) I set the inactivity time out to...

    HWS DVR glitch

    I have had these problems since I first got my hoppers in the spring. About twice a week I will lose sound when playing back from the other hopper, sometimes restarting the program a few time clears it up. Sometimes though I get the problem where sound comes from a different tuner. It's...

    Often CBS runs late onSunday due to sports so part of the Mentlist is cut off. To solve this problem I create manual timerson my second hopper. Now I get theMentalist but the icon and the name is of the news program that follows. I want to rename it back to the Mentalist andput in an episode...

    EHD transfer problem

    I tried move by page, I guess I forgot to mention it in my orginal post. Since they tout this feature you would think they would want to make it actually work.

    EHD transfer problem

    Thanks, but I've pretty much tried all of that. I've sorted by way available and different directions, and I'm not that cramped for space on either hopper or any of my EHDs. This happens on both the HWS and the original hopper. The HWS doesn't have PAT enabled and only about 20 recordings on...

    EHD transfer problem

    I have a large number of programs on my hopper which I cannot transfer to my EHD because they don't show up when trying to transfer. Most were recorded using PAT and been saved more than 8 days, some several months. When just looking at the shows they appear but when selecting transfer they...

    remote control problems

    If I understand correctly you got a new remote that only works sometimes. Is it possible they sent you a remote that is not really new. Sometimes when a remote has a lot of use the buttons don't make good contact. If pushing harder on the buttons makes it work then I would say this is the...
