EHD on hopper drops off?

[3HaloODST]

Page 85 of the current Hopper manual states that Hopper only allows one USB device to be attached at a time. I am clearly in violation of that. This may be what's causing my EHD drop offs and my OTA black screens.

The Hopper manual is a joke. Ignore it .

Yeah, let's put 3 USB ports on the thing but only allow 1 to be used at a time. ???

I'm not sure why the manual states that, but thats not correct. I have a Sling Adapter, EHD and Wifi adapter connected to mine and they all work just fine.

Since S230, I've been seeing this problem almost every day. Never had a single problem with the same drive when hooked up to my 722. Pretty annoying as my drive and Hopper are not easy to reach to unplug and replug my USB between them. I have a WD 640 GB My Book. Really hoping Dish looks into this, but have a feeling it could be a while.

I was good for 5 straight days and then it dumped again..... I know the Dish software team is aware of this issue. Now we just need to get then to react to it...

Mine was not MIA this morning, but I'm not holding my breath that it magically cured itself.

Lost mine after 5 days also. Unplugged and plugged back in to get it to work again. Its all on a UPS so it cant be a power issue.

Mine was not MIA this morning

Neither was mine.

I survived the night. Maybe they are getting closer....

 

[lucky86]

It is being looked into and investigated.

He claims to be a Dish employee.

I don't know about lucky, but, I do know that it is being investigated because we saw the issue as beta testers.....

 

[lucky86]

Ive never claimed to be a dish employee nor have I denied it. I'm just someone trying to help. I stated that it is being investigated, and it is, as Bobby confirmed.

I guess you just pretend to have inside info. When Bobby makes statements I know he's not BSing. Not so sure that I can say the same thing for you...

That's cool, no one told you that you had to believe anything I post.

Gone, after last night's update. I was hoping, but....

Me too....

Hmm... Mine still remain alive (as of this morning anyway.) WD elements and self-built drives in Rosewill enclosures... Haven't really ever had any issues with them dropping off.

A piece of information, assuming the Dish people are reading this thread.

Even when the disc is not in the drop down list of available devices, I get a warning that a device has been disconnected from a USB port when removing power. Yes, these are Seagates, and yes the flag was set not to sleep.

Maybe a bus rescan option could solve this.

I hope they are also working on the 29/59 drop out issue as well.
