Does RAID 1 actually WORK for Hopper 3 as a dependable and usable backup in case 1 RAID drive fails?
Does RAID 1 actually WORK for Hopper 3 as a dependable and usable backup in case 1 RAID drive fails?
I have a Dish Network Hopper 3
If 1 of the 2 drives in the external RAID 1 fails
And then you plug the other good drive directly into the hopper 3, doesn't the Hopper 3 just automatically ERASE it and reformat it?
Therefore you will NOT have your usable back up.
And you've just LOST ALL of your recordings?
I really Really REALLY want to have my Hopper 3 recording's backed up somehow!!!
I'm thinking about buying a 4 TB Western Digital My Book Duo
I was hoping that if I hook it up as a RAID 1 it will provide me with the dependable and usable BACK UP that I want so badly.
BUT will this back up be USABLE when 1 drive fails?
Or will it just get ERASED and reformatted when plugged back into the Hopper 3?
Please help me… I really need someone's help… I'm pretty smart… But I'm no expert
I am aware of the option of a RAID 1 hooked up independently into a customizable external hard drive enclosure
As opposed to buying the factory made encased Western Digital 4TB My Book Duo.
But either way DOES this work?
Will this work for me?
I need 100% assurance that my Hopper 3 recordings are backed up and fully recoverable, dependable and usable!!!
If 1 of the RAID 1 drives fail and I go to the other good drive to recover my recordings
Will it just get ERASED and reformatted by the Hopper 3?
Is it EVEN POSSIBLE to back up Hopper 3 recordIngs?
Has anyone ever done this successfully?
After 1 of the hard drive fails in a RAID 1
I don't care how I back up the Hopper 3 recordings.
I just want the recordings backed up somehow.
It doesn't have to be RAID 1 or whatever.
please Please PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thank You!!!

Simple, charming. Entire premise is quite silly but Cary Grant carries it across the line in good fashion.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

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?

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....
