    Channel Outage In Chicago

    Yes. Flooding in Lower Wacker Drive affected the ComEd substation that services the tower on Monday. It was so flooded that ComEd still did not have access to the substation as of Wednesday (yesterday). News reports were indicating that ComEd may bring in generators to help restore some power...

    Strange PTAT Issue Only On ABC

    Count me in the batch with the ABC PTAT issue. Our copies of Goldbergs, Middle, Modern Family are always off. 50% of the time they are recording the last minute of the show and then start the next show. I have it set to start 1 minute early and 3 minutes over.

    DISH Announces 2014 CES Press Event

    Plex would be a great app to add. Much better than their poor DLNA client. Unfortunately I don't see that happening as it might negatively affect their PPV movie profit.

    Why can't I see all the transfer from show on my Hopper

    If had the same issue for months now. Even with the latest software version and only 500 recordings, I do not get a full list.

    hopper transfer to external drive problem

    I noticed I have the same issues. When trying by A-Z vs Date, I am seeing a different number of programs that I can scroll down to select and move. I am wondering if there is some limit being reached.

    External Hard Drive Limitations for Hopper

    How long did it take to initialize/format the disk? When I tried it the first time it rebooted the hopper. The second time -- I let it run over night. But this morning it wasn't finished as it wasn't showing up. I gave it a good two hours last night before the update process would have...

    External Hard Drive Limitations for Hopper

    I am wondering if the Hopper still has the 2TB and 1,000 recording show limitations that the VIP series had for external hard drives? I'm looking at upgrading my current external hard drives setup and was considering an external hardware RAID setup for it. Especially with the 3TB and 4TB...

    DLNA Video format

    Unfortunately it's a limitation of the Hopper. I'm using Plex for my DLNA and my Roku box has FF and REW capabilities. It makes it really tough to watch anything on the Hopper.

    Hopper S213 Feedback and Issues

    Powering off the Joey seems the only to fix it. I've had the issue quite a bit in the past with one of my particular Joeys. The latest software update seems to have helped out quite a bit. You could try powering off both the linked hopper and affected Joey. Then power on the Hopper - let it...

    Hopper S213 Feedback and Issues

    Had the same exact issue this weekend. Was watching a recorded show (non-PTAT) direct from the Hopper and the phone rang. Hit the Live TV button to stop the playback. When I went back to restart the DVR program, the Hopper was showing the program to only be 1 minute in length. Even a reset...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    I had the same issue yesterday with American Restoration (same channel) as Pawn Stars. I already had a time with AR for new only and it had selected a couple of different episodes to tape. Determined that I was missing some older episodes, so I changed to timer to All. A lot more episodes...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    Same issue here with cancelled timers. We've had several shows that didn't tape this week because they were "cancelled by user" even though no one was home at the time.

    Technician Couldn't Install Hopper

    Be careful of doing anything with that PVC pipe in the air return. You don't want to run cables through your return. If the pipe goes into the basement concrete floor, then it more likely used for venting or radon mitigation. Normally when a PVC pipe is installed for cabling, it is easily...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    I am in the same boat. I am curious to see how PTA works with existing timers. If I have a timer for American Idol for example, will the recordings automatically save even after the 8 days of PTA or will I manually need to go into each show and save them. Also how start/stop times go. Now...

    Free Preview of Premium Channels?

    I'm sure the HBO free preview this weekend is HBO driven and not because Dish wants to preview it for their customers. As it has been pointed elsewhere in this forum, HBO has the exclusive rights to Obama's inauguration kickoff on Sunday. They have decided to air this for free to all satellite...

    What are the new customer deals?

    I'm sure Dish will come out with a better promo for new customers since DirecTV is now offering a $23/mo credit for 12 months with a 2-year committment. Plus DirecTV is matching the movie promo with 3 free months of HBO, Starz, and Showtime.

    CBS Chicago Local Audio Dropout

    Just came in from shoveling snow and noticed that the HD feed of CBS-2 is extremely bad. The SD feed seems ok. My 722 is on 616, so the latest software version certainly doesn't fix it. I have an older Denon 1705 and the audio dropouts are actually causing my receiver to blip when it drops.

    CBS Chicago Local Audio Dropout

    What version are your DVRs on? I know I've had issues with dropouts especially with CBS here in Chicago on software version 6.15. I never used to have issues with it before.

    Dish 622/722 L6.15 Issues Thread

    I'm having the same issue with Dish Comm. The units were communicating just fine before and now with L615 they keep loosing the ability to communicate with each other.

    Dish Network again weighs DirecTV deal

    This is a waste of time, money, and effort. There is no way the FCC will let them merge. Both are still making a boatload of money, which is way different than XM/Sirius. Plus the rural factor that both of them are the only options will kill any merger. That was the big deal breaker before...

    Businessweek: Dish Starts Falling to Earth

    AT&T in the recent analyst conference call downplayed their recent contract issues with Dish as normal business decisions. AT&T indicated that they need satellite service to resell as 40% of their market will be unable to be served by U-Verse. While AT&T may ultimately dump Dish for DirecTV, I...

    Building a new house and have some questions about satellite install

    Direct TV will use 4 cables for their dish. A 5th cable could be used for an OTA antenna or as a spare.
