I had a movie on DVR (external drive) that I recorded long ago and didn't have the entire thing (King of Kings, missing the first 30 minutes or so). It was on again over Easter so I recorded it again getting the entire thing this time. I moved it to my external drive. Now when I look in the DVR list I see a 2 on this movies "block", however, when I click on it I do not see 2 versions there, just the normal options to resume, watch, delete etc. It shows the last one (the picture block of the movie) that I was watching but very briefly (about 1 second if that) will show the pic of the other movie. So, if I am quick I can click watch or resume to watch the other version I have. If I do that, they will be switched and I will quickly see one pic block but it quickly switches to show the last version I was watching.

I do not have that problem with series, just movies that I have 2 of (I did this with a few movies over Easter and they all do it). I could try to get to the one I want to get rid of and delete it, but it says it will permanently delete it and I don't really want to take the chance. I did think about moving it back to the internal drive, but I can't select one of them so it looks like both will move. I moved all my duplicates to the external drive at once, but I know now not to do that in the future until I delete the one I want to get rid of.

Sorry if this is confusing and I appreciate the assistance. I have the Hopper 3 and 4k Joey (along with a Joey 2.0 which I haven't looked at yet, I'll look at that tonight and see if it shows the same).

After you click on it press the skip forward button to get to the Recordings tab on top of screen. Then press Select button on remote.

Thanks much, that did it. Now that I see that Episodes/Recordings(?) tab, it seems like a foolish question. I appreciate the help.

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.
