    Change Hopper Update Time

    Hi, I am looking to see if there's a way to change the time the hopper runs the nightly update from 1 AM to 4 AM. I remember back when I had my VIP 722 (or whatever it was) I could change the time. If it isn't possible, is there any chance it is added in the future? Thank you.

    Hopper w/ sling powers off by itself

    Hi there, My hopper with sling seems to be having some issues. I've been watching the NFL Draft, and two times yesterday and once today the hopper just seems to shut down completely. The lights are still on on the front of the receiver, but there is no picture or sound on the TV. I also went to...

    I have not heard about this. I tried googling but I did not see anything. What exactly are you talking about because it sounds interesting.

    Transfer recording from Hopper to 722K?

    The title is pretty much the question. Is it possible to move a recording from the Hopper to a 722K using an external hard drive? I know it's possible to move the recording from the 722K to the Hopper, but I need to know if it works the other way around. Thanks.

    Hopper and Joey issues

    I took a picture of what the screen looks like when it is malfunctioning on the joey and wireless joey. The hopper is still displaying a normal image. I sure hope someone can help explain what is happening. I never have much luck when a technician comes out. Thank you.

    Hopper and Joey issues

    Hi I don't know exactly how to explain this, but my Hopper appears to be having issues sending signals out to my Joeys. On the wireless Joey and the regular Joey, they both are not showing tv signal. Mostly it is black, but then it comes with a pixelated mess of green and a frame of what is...

    Kangaroo icon in lower right corner

    That's strange. I was only person in the house when the kangaroo was on. All the other TVs were off and I assume that the tubers were all off too. The kangaroo was there even when I changed channels. I was able to turn it off by playing a show on the DVR and then stopping the playback. Sure...

    Kangaroo icon in lower right corner

    How do I get rid of that kangaroo icon in lower right corner? It randomly shows up. Not even sure what it's for but I don't like it. This is for hopper with sling.

    HBO and Dolby Digital

    It was set to RF. That fixed it. Thanks a bunch! Just out of curiosity, what is difference between line and RF? Besides, you know, making Dolby Digital not work on HBO.

    HBO and Dolby Digital

    I know that it was the same problem last week, and pretty much with all programs. Last Week Tonight was in pro logic II for last two weeks as well. I'm not a crazy audiophile by any means, the program is still watchable. It's just kind of annoying and I'd love to figure out why it's doing it...

    HBO and Dolby Digital

    I've been trying to figure this out, but haven't been having any luck. I was watching Game of Thrones last night and I can't get it to be in Dolby Digital. It only does Pro Logic II. I can get other channels to do Dolby Digital. I can't remember my settings right off the top of my head, but my...

    OTA through satellite cable using Diplexers

    I know this is a bit of a crude drawing, but I want to make sure I have the right idea. Am I on the right track?

    OTA through satellite cable using Diplexers

    Hi guys, I'm trying to get my grandmother set up with OTA at all of her receivers. She will have four 211K receivers on four different televisions, she's getting them installed on Wednesday. She wants to receive OTA channels and the way things are going to be wired, I can't run separate coaxial...

    Dish Dispute with KXVA & KIDY

    I guess if there is one bright side is that a lot of playoff baseball is going to be on fox sports one and tbs, at least the first series anyway, and the Cowboys will be on NbC and CBS on The first two Sundays after the contract ends. I sure hope it gets resolved quickly though.

    Dish Dispute with KXVA & KIDY

    Not sure if there are more channels involved, but I'm watching Texas Rangers baseball on KXVA Fox Abilene (TX) and got a notice on ticker on there saying that the channels will be dropped on September 30 at 6 pm. Said to go to this website...

    Issues with Hopper (telephone line and on demand)

    Turns out that this was my problem. I was trying to put the cable in without pulling the Hopper off the shelf and just feeling it out, and sure enough I plugged it in the ethernet jack. D'oh. I pulled it out and found the actual phone jack and it is working like a charm now. Thanks a lot!!

    Issues with Hopper (telephone line and on demand)

    I forgot to mention that I plugged a telephone into the jack and it worked fine. Definitely not a cable or jack problem. It kind of confirms that my hopper has a problem, but I'm still hoping that there is a way to fix it without sending it back.

    Issues with Hopper (telephone line and on demand)

    Just upgraded to the Hopper, it's pretty cool, but there's a small issue I'm having. The technician did not plug the phone line in when he installed it, so I decided to do it myself. Only thing is that when I do plug it in all my phone lines are dead. I checked the phone connection in...

    Yes I realize that. There's nothing special on it right now, just several unwatched episodes of Green Acres. Thanks again.

    Questions about upgrading to Hopper

    Thanks fellas. Learn something new every day. I'll just use the 211K's external hard drive on the 722K to get all the programs from it before the hopper is installed.

    Questions about upgrading to Hopper

    I thought the hard drives were linked to the receivers and I would have to pay $40 for each receiver that I put a hard drive on. Do you mean now that I paid the hard drive fee I can use the hard drive on any receiver? Like I said, the hard drive is on the 211K. Would I be able to put a hard...

    Questions about upgrading to Hopper

    I could do that, but I cannot drop a cable from the antenna to the tv in my living room. The way my house is built it is simply impossible to get a cable there. I'm also concerned about how long these receivers and external hard drives I have will last. While I take care of them and everything...

    Questions about upgrading to Hopper

    Personally I don't watch a bunch of network television, especially at primetime. My viewing habits consists mainly of ESPN and other sports channels. That said, the rest of the family does watch it. Big Bang Theory, 2.5 men, 20/20, Jimmy Kimmel (although I am not sure if that is covered on...
