Hopper 3 and green bar

[WALLYWOMBAT]

Recently had a Hopper 3 installed and noticed that I have a green bar at the top of my screen, also occasionally a thin green line on the right side. I have tried switching hdmi ports on the tv as well as different cables. My only thought is that it is the age of the TV. Thoughts and suggestions?

I would try a different HDMI cable and see how that goes.

He said he already tried that...

as well as different cables.

Don't you have another TV you could connect to the H3 & see if there's a green line on it?

Did you try the Adjust Screen setting in the Settings > TV menu?

Adding a bit of detail - start with DEFAULTS by pressing the pause/play button.
If that does not work try zooming out with the left arrow until the green lines are off the screen.

Tried the Adjust Screen settings and the green bar was still present. Did have a random day when the green bar was gone, but it came back. Did look at the TV setting and found I could stretch the screen a little where the green bar was gone, but it does cut off things across the edges of the picture slightly. Likely will start shopping for a new TV as mine is close to 20 years old and the Dis Remote doesn't seem to like the TV.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Yeah, 20 years is a good time for retirement. You can get a nice new 4K/HDR TV for a very reasonable price even for large ones.

And they will self adjust to report your viewing habits and ….

I suggest you get an LG Oled 4k TV. You will love the picture on this thing from all angles in the room. The picture is the best I've seen ever. I have the B 3 series 55 inch TV and it was on sale in the fall of 2024 for like $749.00 - because they sell off their older models when they reach end of year.

I even bought one for my parents. They had a huge living room and sit at the weirdest angles with their furniture and the viewing angle was a problem using just about any TV we tried, but not with the LG Oled Tv. They love the picture. Walmart sells them and so does Amazon.

So does Costco & Sam's Club - & both places give an extended 5-year warranty at no extra charge
