Hopper S216 Feedback

Well S215 didn't last long, looks like we had a minor tweak made and now have a new software version of S216 Spooling.

So please post your S216 thoughts and issues to this thread!

Thanks for your reports! And thanks for being SatelliteGuys! We are your Hopper experts! :)

Recording canceled by user

We updated to S216 on both hoppers overnight and the problem with timers showing as canceled by user is still occurring.

It is very easy to duplicate. Set up 3 half hour programs to record at the same time. Then create 3 new timers (all on different channels) for the next half hour. Turn off the hopper and make sure no joey is watching anything. The first 3 recordings work fine. Two of the next timers also work fine. The last timer will not record and has the message "Cancelled: By user Office".

I've tested this on both hoppers. I think that if I had been watching one of the programs on the hopper live during the test it would have asked about changing channels but nobody was watching. Normally this happens in the evening when we are watching recorded programs and it does NOT ask about changing channels when you are watching something previously recorded.

I think we have a winner with 216! Drop down boxes for which hopper you want to watch recordings on has not disappeared!

I'm still on 213 myself and don't know when or if I will ever get the new software update.

I tested with S217 this morning and the cancelled by user problem still exists. It wouldn't be so bad if the hopper would reschedule the skipped recording, but it does not.

This is disturbing and hope it gets fixed soon. It may explain why some of my scheduled events did not record in the past.

Mine was gone on one of my Joeys this morning. Came back after a normal turn off and turn on. Still having FF issues on the Joey as well. Example, start a FF, and it will show 30 minutes remaining on the progress bar, then jump maybe 20 minutes left, act.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
