Any way to change nightly update time from 1am to 3am?

You can't so that with the Hopper, it's 1AM unless you are recording something at that time.

I thought you would be able to change it, looked over the manual and cannot find anything. Hopefully it would be slated for an upcoming software update. I'm sure 1 am will affect someone's regular viewing time and Dish should include it soon.

Its 1 AM. But if you happen to have a timer set at lets say 1:15AM or 1:30AM, the update time will still fire and you are likely to miss at least part of the recording. This is espcially true if you have an 1-2 TB EHD connected as it takes nearly an hour for the update to finish due to the fsck it runs on the EHD.

We definitely need an option for this. A 1am interruption is a major PITA for my personal usage patterns. I'm almost always watching CNN or something else at that time. In fact most of our TV viewing is at night and never during the day so my preference would be to have the ability to change the update time to some time mid morning when we never are watching. It's very frustrating to have this interruption every night. I know one can simply answer no to the prompt but then you don't get the update at all.

doesn't it pop up a message asking to allow the update if you are watching a program?

It was already pointed out that it is not an acceptable solution.

don't have XIP813 system yet, so i wasn't sure. I agree, there should be a way to change the update time. i will pass this along.

IMO 1am is too early.... some people are still up watching late-late shows. Not sure why they didn't make it 3am like the VIP's.
Hopefully a future software update will let users change it.

The update will retry on the hour if the request is cancelled, and will continue to try untill it can update. So if you tell it no at 1AM, it will retry at 2AM, ect...

Thanks, that's good to know. I do seem to fall asleep before the next popup. Glad that's the case but would still like to see this be configurable by the user.

I just do not see why the Hopper does not allow the user to change the update time, when the 722 would. Seems backwards, to me.
