I, too, am on my original Hopper, which I got a couple of months after its initial availability. My fingers are crossed, but it's been rock solid since then.

NBC4i Columbus Ohio ch 4 Update: never mind, I looked at the streamer list. My bad. It's not on there.

I turned it on about 5 days ago and just checked and it's still on. But yesterday, during a storm, we lost signal for about 5 minutes. I smirked and waited for signal protector to kick in. Yup, NADA. Sat on the 'we are aware of this problem' screen for the five minutes until the sats were...

Thanks, but I assume that they did not update any existing in the field. So if I got the H3 the year it came out, yes, it still works just great, then can I assume I'm still on 1+1 format?

I've never really figured out why the 2G internal HD is partitioned into two 1 Gig partitions. One is to store the programs and recordings and prime-time any-time. The other is for Dish On Demand and other loaded shows. After all this time, I think that Dish would look at the stats and see...

I read a fascinating analysis of why this may be true. It seems that the loss he's taken on X-ster can be used to offset gains in his other businesses. So if you consider the tax implications of offsetting Tesla, etc., Running it into the ground might be a shrewd decision. A pity, though...

I bought the AirTV and it's been rock stable, if not just a tad warm but I have an exhaust fan anyway behind the entertainment center

Yeah, it works. Now the big Q. Where do we post to or will you sync up the posts from the new server and the old server or keep posting on the this one?

Well Scott, Great work. I've noticed that screen updates are much snappier! Job well done! It just shows that the cost of computing is going down, and providers have to be more competitive to keep their subscriber base.

Great, thanks for the explanation. I'll take a shot at re-plugging.

I was a little taken aback when I restarted my Hopper this morning. I am unsure how long this has been this way (H372), but I was used to seeing two black Hopper 3 Starting up screens one after the other. This morning, I had to look twice, as the first screen was a very nice, pleasing Blue while...

It's funny how we talk about it here, and it magically gets fixed. Same here for last night as well. One data point doesn't make a trend, but we will see. If it was Dish Tech support that monitored this and reported it, then you have our gratitude.

Great, glad to know it's just not me. I will try to do the same thing and compare. Or at least be on 4.1 while recording 4.0, as even if I'm on 4.0, it still breaks up, and also on other shows on 4, even in the evening, as they switch from local programming to network. If we can establish a...

Oh it's back now.
