I get an error message on trying to watch 4K programming on Dish. I have tried different HDMI cables & inputs on the TV. I have removed the loop to my AVR receiver & connected directly to the TV. I have a LG OLED. It works fine with other 4K content from Netflix, Prime & UHD DVD player. Hope someone has a solution.

Just hit channel up and then down. Been a bug in 4K in the Hopper for over a year now. Not holding any breath that they will fix it.

Good luck! Channel up then down may work for you. Just waiting 20-30 seconds may work for you. Both used to work for me. This is a longstanding Dish bug from which some people suffer and others don't. LG OLED's seem to be particularly vulnerable. Love the picture but after this, the burn-in after a few years, and battery recalls on my car I think I'm done with LG.
IMHO, to simplify. I would install the best HDMI cable or cables available. I would not buy any more. I would connect the Hopper 3 or the Joey 4k to the AVR CBL/SAT HDMI input. Connect HDMI from AVR ARC(or e-ARC) to TV ARC(e-ARC) HDMI input.
Go to TV Settings>>System>>About>>Control Other Devices(CEC)>>Uncheck e-ARC. Try that as soon as you can with 540-01 and post what happens.
Good luck

Good luck with this. Seen this one before, a box swap almost always fixes this but no one wants to lose their receiver and their data of course.
Let me know if you get this fixed, if not, it may be fixed in the next software update... hopefully.

I tuned in to 4K channel 540-01 last night about 1955 EDT. The Fox NFL game GB vs AZ started about 2010. I watched the whole game and NOT once I got the 890 error. I do not have "top end HDMI 2.2 cables." I am NOT claiming that the error is fixed, maybe I was lucky.
Prior to this 890 error situation, I swapped Hopper 3s and I did not lose data or previous recordings. There are instructions in which you connect the old Hopper to the new one with an HDMI cable from one to the other one. I am just saying.
Duly noted, I stand corrected. I do NOT have a problem being wrong, muchas gracias señor.
Besides being lucky, I have shared on this thread the parameters that work for me and the ones that do not.
Do you mind sharing what does not work for you?
A single, brand new, HDMI 2.2 cable direct from the back of the Hooper to the HDMI input on the back of my Samsung 4k TV.

Once a resolution has been found, they will release the fix in a nightly update. In the meantime, we have found that the workaround of pressing the channel up and then back down or a HDMI reset has resolved the issue.
