No Video from Hopper3???

[reubenray]

When I turned on my LR TV this morning there was not video coming from the H3. The audio works. The DVR, guide, menu, etc does not show up either. I checked all of my connections and cables and I then hooked the H3 directly to my TV. I even tried two different cables. Whatever is wrong has to do with the H3. I also did a hard reboot and reset on the H3. The Joey 3 that is paired to it works.

Is there anything else to check before contacting Dish?

Try a soft reset of your tv

After taking the H3 to the BR and it worked I figured it must be the TV. After doing a reset everything works. At least the wife got to dust everything while I was taking everything apart.

Sometimes a power plug reset is required. But when it happens to me, I just reach behind my Sony OLED and pull the plug and let is reboot. It's all sticks and twigs.

I did the hard reboot on the H3 at the beginning, but I did not think about the TV itself. My wife was freaking about all her recorded Christmas movies.

I had a similar problem with my Vizio tv and it was Dish customer support that solved it by rebooting the tv. I have had a few other issues that were resolved by rebooting the tv.

That’s what we get for buying “Smart” TVs… Stoopid OSes that need cold starts every once in awhile.

I’ve had the same problem off and on for months now. I get up in the morning and hit the button on my harmony and all I get is a black screen. Sound is fine just no pic. I shut everything off and then turn it back on and all is well. Only happens on cold start. Replaced the hdmi already. Guess I will try a reset on the tv.

Hmmm, I have a Harmony remote also??

Same problem here. I'm have a two year old Vizio TV. Using the Harmony One remote I select Watch Dish. Audio only but no picture. To avoid this I select Watch Roku. Picture is displayed. I then select Watch Dish. Everything is now working.
Everything is passing thru a Demon AV receiver. All 4K rated cables were purchased thru Amazon. The Dish selection is the only one that has this intermittent problem.

My setup went bonkers this morning. Thought it was the H3 but it was the Samsung TV. A phone tech taught me the one button reboot after a 3 minute wait and 5 minutes discussion. That guy was good.

How did you perform reset? Pull the cord?

 

[cpdretired]

The Vizio go to menue, system reboot. Samsung may be similar.

Hold down the power button on the Samsung remote while the set turns off and only release when a screen appears. Only works with "smart" sets.

Does unplugging TV reset everything like the Hopper does?

Don't know. This worked immediately so I did nothing else.
