Hmm i asked her she said it didn't ask about anything. These were existing timers, nothing new or added.

Mine only allows up to 5 timers set up from a single hopper, the 6th comes from the other hopper. I have been trying to recreate what you were talking about with series, but it is not automatically doing it. I won't lie, I secretly wish it does automatically do it, cause I hate when I miss Franklin and bash.
Yep, a lot of things apparently fall under 'Misc fixes'.

Just remembered about the Optical Audio Out issue I had. I hope they don't break that again when they upgrade me.
I wonder if it shifted timers over when an existing timer conflicted and previously would record a later showing of the program to resolve the conflict.
If that's the case, I would suggest deleting the existing timers that are doing this and re-creating them and selecting no on the conflicts screen.
I may have to do that, though I'd hate to lose the ability to watch programs off of the other Hopper.

That's what I'm thinking it did. I'm going to try your suggestion. This is really going to be a pain.
Yes, that's what I'm saying and apparently another member of the household doesn't even need to do it. I'm going to try fixing it with the above suggestion but if each time it grabs a tuner from my hopper when too many are scheduled and it won't pick up a later showing it will be an ongoing problem.

that sucks. We even discussed a few months ago that they should allow a software opt out of the timer integration. Largely because of stuff like this where they program the features so poorly. Tuner hijacking from the other hopper seemed like an obvious flaw...
I'll reserve judgement a bit until I can test it myself, but I expect a lot of headaches in our household.
This makes me laugh. So many people complained about not having enough tuners and not having full integration. Now that Dish is trying to get some form of integration we are seeing that people do not like it so much. It's just one of those things where you can never make everyone happy.
if it's a poor implementation that creates headaches among family members, that would be where the complaints are. Not about what people wanted years ago regarding "full integration" that only happened with the super joey. After 2.5 years with the hopper, the software quality has always seriously lagged the state of the art hardware. We will obviously have to agree to disagree.
As you know Sherrman, 6 tuners are not enough!!
Kind of makes you wonder how 1 Hopper, 3 Joey households do it.

I have no idea how a family could get by with only one Hopper without major conflicts. At some point the money saved is worth more than the bickering in the family. I upgraded a customer to a Hopper with 3 Joeys and she had 5 kids. I explained to her about the conflicts and she said it was too much and she would just put up with it.
