I have the Jade TVB International package and on some channels, there are SD and HD versions, I prefer the SD versions when recording to the DVR as it allows me to record more. Some have streaming version of the channel as well.

Thanks, I encountered it recently once or twice after I didn't watch 4 days worth of recordings. The free space was always 119GB or 120GB.

Welcome! There are several things I hope I can mention... On the Hopper 3, it appears with 120GB free space remaining on the HDD, the Hopper 3 will think it's 100% full With the Hopper+, there should be the screen modes added like Zoom, etc which was there without the Hopper+. Also, the PIP...

Josh.M - Is it by design that the Hopper 3 will stop all recordings in progress when it reaches 120GB of remaining space on the HDD or is it a bug?

Hopper+ Software P12901 is out. Manually updated the Hopper+ by manual Check Updates on the About menu from P12803 to P12901.

Maybe in reality, they use different manufacturers for the HDs as this was as of 2015/2016 and the HD manufacturers can always discontinue products and come up with new models. And look at this post where the Hopper 3's HDD is a Western Digital WD20EURX-57T0FY1...

That is a Hopper 3, I wonder if they all use Toshiba 2TB inside, always thought it would be Seagate or Western Digital.

Thanks to the thread, I manually updated Hopper 3 from H374 to H375 and then manually updated the Hopper+ by manual Check Updates on the About menu from P12801 to P12803, do not think P12802 existed as I checked only a few days ago.

Take a look here: https://fccid.io/DKN1018 There are internal photos at three different places, not sure if it's 100% the same or not: 1) 1018 BT + ZIGBEE and WLAN DTS/UNII a/b/g/n MIMO Satellite Set Top Box Teardown Internal Photos ID082x Echostar Technologies 2) 1018 BT + ZIGBEE and WLAN...

The fan may not be completely gone as one can always replace the lubricant with engine oil after cleaning the old lubricant out.

I too would want to know what it looks like inside (H3 and other things like the Hopper+), curiosity kills as the saying goes. I always thought the FCC would also have docs on it with photos.

On the H+, not sure is it because of P12801 or H374 but it seems the nightly reboots is only rebooting the H+ and not the H3 as it will reboot with the something is not right and also, the recordings recorded during the nightly reboots as I have something from 12:45AM-3:15AM when nightly reboot...

The Hopper 3 will report it is full and stop all recordings once it goes below 120GB of free space.

I think if you can rewind, or go back 10 seconds or even skip, it's satellite. Stream will not allow those functions.

Hard to say as it says "See the current list of channels that can be streamed via your Hopper’s internet connection:" which seems to be more about streaming only in general than Signal Protection channels as their list does include BBC News in the list as you did say in the post I quoted...
