    Scott fixed it. A new addin changed it to the name of the next thread with the OP's avatar.

    Hopper Grounding ... Cheater Plug

    The two pronged plug is polarized itself, but that also requires you household wiring to be done correctly.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    Boy, I really killed this thread! I am still unable to go to the next thread in chronology, there are no links to previous or next thread at the bottom of my page. Did I turn something off or did an update screw things up?

    Hopper 3 Software H375

    I don't know if it is the new software or not, but at the end of each thread there is no longer the option to go to the next one (lower right) or back to the previous thread (lower left).

    So...

    Have I accidentally done something wrong or are the threads no longer going to the next unread thread when I read the last post. If I turned it off how can I turn it back on?

    Why does dish network down convert some channels to SD?

    They either do not have a contract to show the HD version or there is no HD version. Everything available is done by contract, not by desire.

    Hopper 3 Software H375

    Signal Protect ONLY works with channels that have streams associated with them. No stream no protect.

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    Hopper3 does not work with older two "eye" DPP WA lnbs. H3 requires a hybrid lnb or an additional switch with DPP equipment because of the stacking of 16 tuners while the DPP lnb could handle only 3 tuners.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    You should go to Mexico where there is only 4GLTE and see the difference in download times and page refreshes.

    Dish Protect Question

    We did a dish mover 2 months ago and last week I had to have a tech come and move my dish because a large pecan tree in the back yard was effecting 61.5. Had to take a Dish Protect to avoid $95 tech visit. Looks like here in Texas I'll keep it for 3 months.

    Dish Protect Question

    Does Dish still charge a penalty for dropping Dish Protect too soon?

    Which LNB is for which satellite?

    Looking from that direction 1 is pointed toward 128, 2 is pointed at 119 and 3 is pointed at 110.

    Help With A 4K Joey!

    Exactly which Joeys do you have? There are 4K Joeys and there are Joey 4s. The 4K Joey does not play well with the current HDR broadcasts that Dish carries for 4K content. The Joey 4's do receive and output the 4K HDR content from the Hopper. May we presume the missing channels are the 540's?

    Been with dish for 12 years - needed faster hardware!

    Not only that but with PTAT (Prime Time Any Time) enabled prime time big 4 network programming is all recorded on one tuner and you can have a USB OTA dual tuner dongle (two tuners) so theoretically you can watch three channels and record 18 others AT THE SAME TIME! 15 Satellite+ 4 PTAT (takes...

    OTA antenna combiner

    Using a splitter as a signal "combiner" is only effective for relatively strong signals because 1/2 of the signal from each antenna i goes down to your TV while the other half is re-radiated out the other antenna unless they are both pointed in the same direction. This is the multi-antenna...

    Dish Anywhere what receivers work?

    IIRC, the Sling Adapter was for the ViP722, maybe for the Hopper 2000 and was discontinued in 2019 because it used technology that was easily hacked (Adobe Flash) and was in the hardware - therefore not fixable. This Satellite Guys discussion in 2017 is still not clear whether the Sling Adapter...

    T-mobile home internet compatibility with dish hardware?

    Are both these services running on the same cables to the users. They should NOT be. Is your T-Mobile wired or wireless internet? How long has this been happening (just started, since Dish was Installed, since T-Mobile was installed, forever)? Were there recent changes made to either system...

    Hopper 3 H373 update 04/24/2024

    I tried to download H373 Sunday night but it just rebooted and came back to programming - twice. I tried again last night and after the second re-try it did download and install H373 and the signal protector is there now.

    4K Events Discussion Thread

    I just executed an interesting experiment. My H3 is connected to an old Panasonic 42 inch plasma 720p TV. Sunday I recorded channel 540-02 on my H3. About 5 minutes ago I tried to play that recording but the H3 said it could not play it , I pressed OK and ot popped back to live TV. SO... I tried...

    Pressing the rewind button jumps waaaaaaaayy back

    Flipping the breaker, turning off the power strip and the like are all effectively the same as unplugging, assuming there is no UPS on the line (uninterruptible power supply).
