Yes, I'm sure these questions have already been addressed in some of the many Hopper 3 post. But please no flaming. I've honestly tried reading through some of them. But there's just so darn many to sift through.
But I currently have 2 HWS and (3) 1.0 Joey's. What is the general cost to upgrade? I know some of it's based on credit standing. But I'm pretty sure I've read anywhere from free to $350. Does the upgrade cost vary depending on if you need the newer 2.0 joey's or not? If it makes a difference, I do have the protection plan.
I also read somewhere that dish had a way to connect a HWS to the new Hopper 3 to move all DVR programs over without using an EHD. Is that correct? If so, would I be able to connect and move programs from both of my HWS's to the new hopper?
Lastly, is there any new or change in wiring for the new hopper? Or is the LNB the only thing that needs changing?

1. Some of the timers that can be created the most easy/quickest/conviniet by Dish design way such as from the EPG, then press the RECORD button or from the Info page, then select RECORD THIS, immediatley creates the timer without presenting the option to select a folder for destination upon completion of the recording.
2. As one who uses Custom Folders for the vast majority of recordings for at least 3 years now, one can oftem remeber that one is better off pressing the SELECT button from the guide, but one does not remember to select the folder more often then one would like to admit
. It is shockingly EASY to pass-up or not even consider that portion of the create timer screeen. There is some "maintenace" and time to fixing this for several recordings for which one intended to send to particular folders and double-checking the many timers to be certain the Folder is selected for destination.
3.Perhaps the BIGGEST ANNOYANCE--and one that can be a huge deal breaker for many who otherwise may want to use Customer Folders for household members--is that all recordings have NO SUBFOLDER, or, in other words, in the Custom Folder recordings can NOT be grouped by title like they can be OUTSIDE of Custome Folder from the standard DVR recordings list/display. So, the display is the same tile displayed several times in various places (if one uses sort by DATE) throughout the Custom Folder. This creates an organization of recordings that is UNACCEPTABLE to all member of our household: it is overwhelmingly confusing, even if sorting by NAME because you may have page after page of the same show before you can get to the other different shows. The number of individual tiles for each and every recording--and we have it in the HUNDREDS, presents a never ending sea of recordings and tiles that can't be grouped by NAME. Cumbersome to say the least and sometimes one can't find the specific redcording one is looking for.
Fixing #3 would go about 87% towards making truly useful Custom Folders for household members. Fixing #1 & #2 would bring near certainty to always selecting the folder for the recording.
I will add two things:

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?
