Recorded TV shows

Are recorded tv shows that are tranfered to a EHD from a 722HD going to be compatible with the new Hopper, if I plug one in will it recognize the media?

Yeah so far 3 out of 7 of my EHDs that were originally on 722Ks are working OK... Only problems are as 356B said no thumbs and also sometimes it throws error code 00 or something like that when I try to play. Playing again the second time works though. I think it has to do with the sleep mode on the drives.

Mine too, what do you mean sleep mode?

A lot of my EHDs spin down when they've been inactive for 10-15 mins. The Hopper seems to throw an error while waiting for the drives to spin back up. Once the drive is spun up, luckily it works the second time you try to play the recording. Never had this issue on my 722Ks though...

I never had the "00 Error" happen with a 922 either. I do seem to remember thumbnails issues with the 922, but they eventually went away. Perhaps these anomalies will also....in time.

Yes, I'd agree Hopper's timeout is not allowing an external drive spin up before throwing an error. IIRC, that's one thing they are fixing in S209 (also in S208). My 922 did not time out when the EHD had spun down and took extra time to begin playing. It just took 5-6 seconds before playback started. It was a long enough time that I'd wonder if the receiver had crashed so an alert would be a good idea ("waiting for External Drive").

I've run into an issue where everything I have on my EHD that were transferred from my 722 when trying to play on my Hopper state that playback has completed and I cannot get it to start over. Anybody else have this issue?

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Dish Hopper and Dish Hopper Plus No Alexa in settings

I have Dish Hopper and Hopper Plus and also have Alexa Echo. I link the Alex skill to Dish and it asks me to enter the pairing code shown on the TV. I go into Dish Settings and there is no Alexa shown. Not sure what to do.

I stand up from my chair with my glass in one hand and my plate in the other, when a story I really want to hear comes on the TV. So I say, "Alexa, pause DISH", and it waits for me to return from the kitchen, at which time I say, "Alexa, resume DISH".

Or maybe, when I return with a full glass in one hand and a new plate in the other, I realize I forgot to pause to hear this good story from its start. So I say, "Alexa, skip DISH backwards 3 minutes", and I still get to catch the whole story.

I use this every day. Or until I acquire a third hand.
