I become a H3 beta tester tomorrow!

[Deadlocked]

All jokes aside jumping from 622/211 to an H3 and 2 joeys so I'm excited for the jump. Any ins and outs I should know and I heard new hooper customers gets like a class or something from the tech? Can we decline that? I'm pretty well versed due to this forum and I'm going to be hands on with my new toy anyway once it gets installed.

Congrats! No class necessary, just jump on the forum if you can't figure something out. I've been very impressed with the Hopper 3 overall. I also have two Joey 2.0's. The remote takes some getting used to, but I like it better than the older one.

Hopefully after something like 5 months now, the techs will know more about the H3 than they did back in February when I got mine. I was his first install of this new box and I had already learned more about it from the forum than he knew. Even though I hadn't actually laid hands on one yet, I was still showing him things that he had absolutely no clue about.

Two tips.
To get to live tv press and hold the back button.

The swap function is the input on the side.

There is no live tv button?

Swap meaning recall or to swap stuff like PIP?

The "Back" button is a dual purpose button. Push it and it goes back, push it and hold it for a second and it goes to live tv.

Is there a list of all these 52.0 remote control procedures?

I got rid of my 52.0 remotes shortly after going with the h3 and replaced them with 40.0.

Was there a list of what all the buttons do, press twice, hold down, etc?

I think there is, just a basic overview maybe 1 page that shows the remote overview and what does what.

Did you get the remote instructions with your Hopper 3?

It comes with a small manual which concentrates on the remote.

Yes it was with the 52.0 remotes. Nothing fancy, more less just an overview.

Here is the latest manual from the MyDish site. Looks like some good instructions or does it lack some?

I can't say for sure. It's been awhile since I've used the 52.0. It is easy to figure out though. Nothing against the 52.0, I just like the 40.0 better.

Do you think it would be a help to everyone if there was a spreadsheet with all the exact procedures for the remote buttons similar to the color button shortcut list?

It couldn't hurt.

But because there aren't any colored buttons on the new remotes and all of the buttons are pretty straight forward and are labeled it probably wouldn't be as useful as the color button short cut list.

Well, maybe someday when I get the new CUI for my HWSs I will get me one of them there 52.0 remotes and see if there would be a way to make a spreadsheet of procedures. There seems to be lots of post about what the buttons do. Maybe a spreadsheet of some kind would help. I presume the 52.0 will operate the HWS with the new CUI. Do you know by any chance?
