    Is it my external drive or is this just the way the Hopper 3 works?

    I have a Seagate 2T EHD I used to migrate from my Hopper to a Hopper3 in August. I've just finished a long round of EHD no longer working with DISH, a replacement Hopper3 and still no working USB ports. A senior tech tonight finally advised there were known issues and the tech team was working...

    Hopper 3Woes

    It is not and does not. We had many devices on DishAnywhere. As soon as the H3 came on line now limited to 5. Now Dish call reps are saying it should be reversed but so far nothing I've been told is accurate. You might be happy but considering the gains Dishhas made during my time with them...

    Hopper 3Woes

    The loss of functionality I've discussed. Our Dish Anywhere was promised it would not change and it has. I missed the paragraph deep on the Dish sight that mentioned the external hard drive limitations. I relied on the Dish reps statement that it was still offered and improved. As well as the...

    Hopper 3Woes

    I just received notice some service rep at DISH charged my account for 2 hopper remotes on Saturday and they are being shipped. What!?! Costumer Service now at least confirms they see there was no confirmation by me for the order AND as a a one time courtesy will reverse the charges. Are these...

    I have Harmony. The point is the backwards engineering.

    Hopper 3Woes

    I was patient to wait until now for bugs to fixed and the upgrade. Volume buttons on the old remote could be programmed to work any device that was needed and you stayed in SAT mode. Now I must his Aux to use it for the receiver then go back to SAT. I'm only noting this as an example of a...

    but consumer laws in CA give me the protection to return because of failure to perform as described.

    All I got was "we will pass this along." Tech is pointless. Billing issues they are fine.

    Hopper 3Woes

    That's was my surprise that it's always been while in 2016 try and find a powered external drive that is anything less than 4. All the stores are even blowing those out as the new ones are up to 8! Either power the USB ports for removable storage and/or stay with the world and build for...

    Hopper 3Woes

    So now that I have upgraded from the Hopper1 to 3--- the external Hard drive is limited to a 2T desktop in a time when portable hard drives are at least 2T and the desktop start at 4T? The new remote is less intuitive and adaptive than the original? Now if your volume is not on your TV you have...

    Has DISH discontinued the OTA dongle?

    These comments just ad to my feeling that upgrading to Hoer 3 was a bad idea. The more I use it the last 24 hours the more I feel that 16 tuners was one step forward but the theOTA along with other design changes feel like 2 or more steps backwards.

    Dish Outage in Southern California

    Yes in LA it's been a problem since this morning. Total signal loss for short periods of time. I'm wondering if something is messing with the spot beams etc?

    OTA Option?

    Thanks for the point. Hopefully we'll hear more soon.

    OTA Option?

    The Hopper was rumored to get OTA option by this summer? Well been and gone so anyone know the word? Sorry if this has been recently covered. Admittedly I haven't been as attentive to the sight as usual. But wondering if this update is as illusive as the iPhone5? Thanks in advance to all that...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    So so far all is well with us. The Hopper and 3 Joeys are amazing compared to our old system of Vip's. Prime Time which we had no real interest has even surprised us. No glitches, freezes. We had a slight learning curve to new layout and operation but that's been it. Now that we get the newer...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Well since Voom continued until 2009 to do their business with the rest of the world and provide new programming, then flying them around was a good decision and as people know in the business, it is just part of being in business. But otherwise everyone please stop with the tired hallow rant...

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    So I get a Google notice of an MultiChannel News article Voom back from the Tomb. Anyone have access to it and what does it mean?

    These HD channels are useless!

    We've come so far just to find out we're still way behind the Voom days. :rant: Give me repetition with highest quality audio, HD and content any day.
