Yea, I tried swapping the HDMI cable (that was my first thoughts). But leaving it alone seems to have brought it back. If it happens again, I'll get a new Hopper and put up with the darm (softened words) with the grief of changing over.

Yeah, it's called Seek recording, and the only way now I know how to do it is to search for a show or actor (or look at the list they show as [you may also like] at the end and then select it. If it's in the schedule, then it will set the recording. If not, it will set a Seek timer so that...

Naa. It's just the format of the drive (it uses EXT3) and the file structure and all the support files in each subdirectory in each partition. You can even move recording between partitions and it doesn't care. Its the name of the folder and that stuff inside. When I've copied I just use a...

Well, it was tough to do any of the above because the screen was BLACK and I couldn't even see the channel list or do a manual software load. How do you do any of that with a BLACK screen and you cannot see anything on the screen? But I did three resets, to no avail. So I gave up and went to...

Theoretically, being that the AirTV and the EHDs are only USB-2, it shouldn't matter which plug you use. I guess that Dish put in USB-3 for future-proofing, then un-proofed themselves.

Well, I turned on the Hopper to be greeted by the infamous black screen. I did a red button reset (I'm sure it did as the EHD lights were flashing) Then, I did a Power Cord reset. Same thing. When I turned the Joey's on, they said refresh is in progress, but they now work fine. But Hopper...

The only difference is that the top port is USB-3 while the bottom is USB-2. But it shouldn't matter as the Hopper can only support USB-2 speeds

New guy..... Call again

I saw that a couple of times. As usual, EHD bugs. I got them back by accessing one of my other EHDs and then going back to the one that failed. I haven't tried going back to the Hopper main DVR display but my guess is that it won't work as I think you need to change the pointer to the bug EHD...

For a couple of days, I watched and deleted a few (well many) shows. The next day, all the deleted show were back in the DVR guide. Showed as played but they were there non-the-least. Anyone else see this. I watched a ton of the Chicago shows, deleted at the end and they were back.

Take it from an EE. Sort of hard to do that when the LED installed is only Green

Yesterday on a recorded show, a commercial came on that I wanted to watch again. I did the standard couple of backpresses to see it again. After the back presses the video restart but no volume at all. No matter how many backpresses go going forward would restart the sound. Had to go to...

Mine keep disconnecting and the magically connecting 2 minutes later. Getting a bit tired of it

Opposite. NBC is next day. CBS can take up to a week which is why I use the 30 second quick press fast forward trick.

Nope, the H3 doesn't support the TRIM command. Without TRIM, the SSD doesn't know whether blocks are allocated, so it will fill and die.
