Sound bar power on/off?

Last time I was with DISH I didnt have this problem but hopefully you pros can get me back on track.

Installation was yesterday. I have a Vizio SB4051-CO sound bar hooked up to my Hopper 3 via HDMI and Optical. The Hopper is hooked to an HDMI port on the TV and the sound bar is hooked up from the TV to the sound bar via optical port.

Would have liked to use the CEC-ARC but unless you have a Samsung sound bar this high end Samsung doesn't play well with ARC. It worked for a few hours and when I got up this morning the ARC from TV to sound bar was dead again. Using the 54 remote the sound bar would neither come on or go off once manually turned on. Going off isn't really a problem since it eventually shuts itself off when it loses a signal anyway.

Now that I've got all the background out of the way my simple question is how do I get my 54 to turn my sound bar on and off? It's handling the volume up and down just fine once I get it turned on but, I don't relish having to use two remotes and I surely don't want to fool with the Harmony's again. I've been into the remote settings and made the necessary adjustments but I find nothing about controlling accessories power. Thanks

Pressing the AUX button on the left side of the remote then the power button should work. Don't forget to press the SAT button to go back to satellite mode.

Better for sure because it doesn't require two separate remotes. I appreciate this. Now if I could just figure out if there is a way to do this without using CEC-ARC. It worked fine that way for about 12 hrs!

Also make sure you have Limited mode turned off for your remote in settings.

It is definitely turned off.

Did you plug in your Vizio soundbar into the remote setup?
Click to expand...

Yup, the remote settings show:

Auxiliary Device: Vizio
Vol and mute buttons: Control aux dev vol
Limited mode: off

Appreciate all the suggestions and input

I got a sound bar and sub woofer that turn themselves on/off automatically depending on whether they receive a signal or not. The simplest solution.

I had the same brand sound bar and I had to use my DISH remote learn the remote buttons on sound bar remote on AUX. I never found a code that would work.

For now I can deal with an extra two button pushes. Much cheaper than buying a new sound bar! Thanks for all the replies.

HDMI-ARC and HDMI-CEC are two different things. Does the soundbar accept HDMI-CEC on the HDMI IN port? If so, doesn't the Hopper3 have HDMI-CEC support? That might work. Worth a try anyway.

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!!!
