I probably should have asked this earlier before suggesting the HDMI cables... Are all of your other TV's at least HDTV's with HDMI inputs? If you have older SD TV's, your only option for them is the RF Modulator solution that was also mentioned here. If they are all HDTV's or better, the...

For me, I drilled up from the basement side a hole large enough to fit the HDMI connector through and up inside the wall behind my Living room TV/Hopper, and also into the wall behind my Kitchen TV. I purchased a couple of inexpensive old-work low voltage brackets and wall media wall plates...

Monoprice sells long hdmi cables. I have a 75' hdmi cable running from a hdmi splitter on my Hopper in the living room to a TV in kitchen. Works great. Monoprice Commercial Series Active HDMI Cable - 1080i @ 60Hz, 4.95Gbps, 26AWG, CL2, 75ft, Black - Monoprice.com

Are you using the power inserter for the DPH42? I'm only asking because I heard that the DPH42 may appear to work fine without the power inserter, but it draws enough current from the H3 that it exceeds the H3's specs and could damage it.

Do you have PTAT turned on? Were you running the test during PTAT recording hours? I have seen Satellite test and Signal strength tests hang when PTAT is running.

Add "On Dish" to an Alexa command for the Hopper to let Alexa know a common media control command (like resume) is for Dish. For me, I have noticed that when I haven't used Alexa to control the Hopper for awhile (several hours+), it sometime doesn't recognize I'm trying to control the...

It's the only receiver reset option that attempts to keep your existing DVR recordings and timers while erasing and re-downloading the receiver software. Tech support will usually guide you to do this if your receiver is malfunctioning and they suspect it is due to some corruption of the...

Even though the manual recordings folders will not display the content, I have found that you can still at least watch the most recent recording in the folder if you select the folder (don't open it) and press the play button.

I too have a Hopper3, a Joey2.0, and a wireless Joey. YouTube has only ever been available on my Hopper. Netflix is available on all of the devices. I think I remember Scott saying awhile ago that Dish was only planning to put the YouTube app on the Hopper.

Check to make sure your DVR program listings sort oprtions didn't change. We usually have ours set to sort recent recordings to the top of the list. Sometimes after an update, it changes to sort recording A-Z. When it does that, and you're used to seeing current recordings at the top, it...

Yeah... Voice commands on the Hopper can be slow, or timeout when your kids are sucking up your 3MB DSL connection with youtube and netflix videos too.

It works fine with the Joey 2.0 now.

If you can see the dish, check for bee or wasp nests on the lnb. The insects fly around during the day, but all return to their nests at night and reduce/block the signal. - Paul

I would like to win a HopperGO!

"Smart Power On" has existed for more than a year in the Hopper w/sling and possibly earlier hoppers. The feature disappeared when Dish started using the Cabon U/I. It analyzes your viewing patterns and on receiver power-on, it uses the channel/time viewing data to auto-tune to the channel it...

I'm interested in testing/providing feedback if there are any slots remaining. - Paul

Composite video is 480i video that was originally designed to be viewed on a 4x3 video screen. Anamorphic composite video is taking a 16x9 video source and squeezing it to a 4x3 image. Everything in the image looks distorted skinny and taller than is should be if you look at the image on a 4x3...

In case you can't see it, he linked to an item on Amazon that converts Component HD video (up to 1080p) to Compsite Video. Plugging this into the compnent video output on the Hopper will (hopefully) avoid the software generated letterbox video that Dish created for their built in composite...

I did not realize a device like this existed. It's reasonably priced, and I think this will solve the issue without the need for a software change from DISH. Thank you. - Paul

The 16x9 Kitchen TV is a small regular HDTV with all the standard inputs including NTSC and ATSC RF. The hopper is in our living room. The HDMI HD output of the hopper is going to a 55" HD TV in the living room. The RF (Channel 3) signal from the Hopper's composite output uses the homes...

I now have a Hopper 3, but this problem appears to be with the Carbon UI software. I first saw it when I installed the test version of Carbon UI on my old Hopper with sling, and now it persists with the Hopper3. Since my first Hopper 1, I have been sending the composite output of the Hopper to...

When I mentioned to my installer (Real Dish Network employed installer) that I wanted to sync my old 40.0 remote to the H3 to restore the timers and favorites list from my old HWS, he asked if I also wanted to keep the old remotes. I said that I would as long as he would not get in "trouble"...

So is Dish recommending their receivers be plugged into surge protectors now? I used to always plug my old receivers into surge protectors. Then when Dish receivers started using power line communications to send info to other receivers in the residence, and surge supressors blocked that...

I was only able to look around briefly last night before going to sleep. Anyone see a way to quickly switch between favorites lists like the old method of pressing guide multiple times to 'flip' through the multiple favorites lists? The new multi step process of "guide->guide->1->arrow to...

I am interested in upgrading to a Hopper 3 system. I see I am replying on page 32, so I hope someone can get to my request before summer. :-) - Paul
