I just got my hopper 3 and 2 4K joeys. Issue is Netflix crashes after watching about 10minutes of a movie. Joey will auto tune to satellite then when I try to go back to Netflix the joeys will lock up. Only way to fix is to remove power. I have plenty of bandwidth so I don't think that is the problem. I can stream movies fine on other devices.

I too had problems with Netflix on my 4K Joeys. Based on the advice above I was going to factory reset the 4K Joey, however, when you enter the factory reset menu you will also find a "Reset Netflix to Defaults" icon. I selected that option and the problem was resolved! You will have to enter your Netflix username and password again.
To get to the menu item select Menu on the remote, then Settings --> Diagnostics --> Tools --> Reset to Factory Defaults --> Reset Netflix to Defaults.

Update: The problem returned after exiting Netflix and going back in. Netflix logo appears but hangs 4K Joey requiring a power disconnect. Resetting Netflix works again but only for that one session. Dish and Netflix need to work this out. Took them over a year to finally get Netflix on the 4K Joey and now its unreliable. Disappointed!

This looks to be resolved now. Netflix is running perfectly on my 4K Joeys. It just started working on its own so I can only assume Dish pushed out an update at some point. My wife and kids are happy. Even though we have smart TVs with Netflix it's just more convenient running Netflix from the Dish Joey using a singe remote.

Do you reset Netflix to Defaults on the TV connected to the main Hopper or the Joeys? I tried to do this on my TV connected to a Joey (Netflix stalls every few minutes and I am unable to watch it) but when I get to the Reset Netflix to Defaults and answer "Yes" to continue, nothing happens. I have selected it multiple times and answered "Yes" to continue and it just sits there.

Do it from the Hopper.....

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....

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.

Tell Alexa verbally what to do.

What is the purpose of connecting Alexa and the H3?
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.

The Resurrectionists can help you with that.

For a price.

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.
