Hopper EHD Indexing Issue

I have a Hopper 3, and sometime in June we began having an issue with the attached external hard drive (EHD). When the EHD was sorted by title, only recordings up through the letter "S" were being shown. When the contents were sorted by record date, recordings beyond "S" were shown (i.e., recordings beginning with "The" or "Z"), but older recordings were not shown. All the recordings that are shown on the screen can be selected and played, so apparently nothing's been deleted; just the indexing by the Hopper is malfunctioning. Further diagnosis indicated that only 38 screens of recordings, or about 570 recordings, could be shown. Dish customer service has been spectacularly unhelpful; I've called them 5 times on this issue, and after walking through the usual Tier 1 and Supervisor steps (reboots, unplugs, etc.), they claim to be submitting tickets to their engineering group. We have yet to hear back from anyone, and the last software update was to version 711 on 8/30/2026. They even sent us a new Hopper 3, and the problem remains. Is anyone else seeing this issue and/or has a fix for this? Thanks!

And the official answer is: "It probably has some limit, although we do not know what that limit is" :p

The display limit seems to be 750 for each EHD. There is certainly not a 999 recording limit as I have at least 1200 recording split between two EHD, not including the recordings on the Hopper's internal drive.

How is the 750 counted? Does it count what is visible to the eye like I will make up examples:

the main screen says:

Title A with 50
Title B with 50

Would that count as 2 or would that count as 100?

While on the subject of EHDD's on the Hopper 3, I personally have never experienced this but has anyone actually experienced this where the EHDD's as part of the nightly reboot would do the routine test nightly on the EHDD's?

It's the number of icons, not recordings. A tv show with multiple episodes recorded is still a single icon. Same with two movies with the same title. The Recordings display shows 4 rows of 5 icons, 20 per page. When I could not see all my recordings (I knew this by alphabetical sorting), I I counted a page at a time until I could not page anymore and that is how I came up with the 750 number (give or take a couple as neither of my two EHDs are at the max right now and I don't remember the exact number, but it's close enough). This is a display issue, not a recording problem.

Are all Hopper 3's the same? Mine is pretty old, seems like there would have been mods over the years.

2016 was when the Hopper 3 came out and no new versions since. You can add the Plus unit and plug the hdmi from the hopper to the plus unit to out put everything up-converted to 4k and real 4K will come through it also. That does improve the picture quality a bit.

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....

Finally! Some big movement in California diesel pricing (and no, there is no such beastie as a diesel "winter formula").

Crude (combined pricing) is around $90/barrel now, so prices should have, at least, fallen in step with the crude futures.

California has a ~93¢ per gallon consumer tax rate on automotive diesel, along with significantly higher refinement standards.

The fact that consumers can only buy some new full-sized truck models and a couple of vans with diesel power makes the fuel an odd duck in refinery priorities.
