When you scan your local channels be sure to select all and then save. I had the same thing happen at first. If it does not work yet then just be patient and try later. It will take some time for all features to work properly.
I believe a lot of the issues with the people saying 4-6 days is because they keep trying to "fix" it by rebooting the hopper many times and the downloads start all over. Just make sure when you go to bed at night that all joeys and the H3 are in standby. Stop unplugging and causing downloads to restart. Mine was installed yesterday. I left it alone went to lunch paid some bills came home and everything was downloaded.
I'm starting to wonder this myself. I'm not sure rebooting it that many times is helping. I think it may be better to let some of these issues settle overnight.
I haven't had any of the issues that people are talking about. I believe the many reboots is doing more harm than good. My H3 works amazingly.
I haven't had them either. I only rebooted mine once and that was because I couldn't get picture after closing out of sports multi-screen app. It was on the main TV and early enough in the day that there was going to be plenty of time to watch more TV so a reboot had to happen. If it were right before bed I would have just let it go for the night. I've have other minor bugs that I just let go over night and they were gone the next day.
I put the Hopper 3 in standby mode every night before bed too. The only one that doesn't get shut down most nights is the Wireless Joey in my bedroom.
What happens when you put the hopper in standby and back on. Does it go back to full screen? I haven't had this issue. Have you setup the remote to control the receiver? Settings > remote
My installer set up my 52.0 remote to use the TV volume instead of my Yamaha AVR. I did that last night which was super-easy. It had my RX-600 series receiver in its database and after the remote got configured, I changed the Remote Setting so the volume & power buttons controlled the AUX instead of the TV. Once I use the Harmony to "Watch Dish" I can switch over to use the 52.0 remote for 99% of watching activities.
I had to go to work after my install was finished, but it took so long that my son had come home from high school and he settled in watching his shows. So the Hopper wasn't idle until later that night. By the morning after the install, all the channel logos were in the EPG. Most (but not all) of the shows that recorded in the PTAT folder had the program graphics and not the Network Logo. Today I look and it seems to be the new shows that haven't got the program graphics. But I guess it depends on Gracenote since there is a blurb on some screens that the information comes from them.
