Can existing H3 hardware support a streaming-only business model? I'm still seriously annoyed that I can't use my J3 using Ethernet-only, so I suppose the answer is "No".

I haven't tried this on my Hopper, but on my 722 EHD it most assuredly has to be owned by root:root. I found that out the hard way by using the GUI on... I think it was Scientific Linux which is a now defunct redistribution of RHEL. In any case, the screen manager, whatever it was, was not...

Dish chat fixed the issue with DishAnywhere. All I needed to do was log out and re-activate and it picked up the new receiver.

Interesting. So are you saying that ALL your Echoes at both houses announce the doorbell at either house? Only my nearest Echo Dot does that.

Watch remotely? Since when can you watch EHD programs remotely? I could do that in my 722/Sling Adapter days, until Dish removed that capability. But I have never seen my EHD using DishAnywhere. Of course with the new receiver, I can't even see those internal programs, but that's another issue.

The new receiver transferred 492 events out of 494, which difference is probably two programs I deleted before the transfer completed. Still no EHD shows up. So I did some more experimentation with the EHD's I have from my 722 and 625 days. Both show up and work with the new receiver. When I...

I recently moved into a new house with a Ring video doorbell. I just got it set up and linked to my Alexa account. Interesting fact: when I push the doorbell button, only the nearest Echo announces "there is somebody at the front door". How does it know to use only the nearest Echo rather...

No idea. I am living in Manassas and my receiver is still in Fairfax. That's why I tried DishAnywhere to see how many programs had been transferred. DIshAnywhere still shows the old receiver number and gives the "Something went haywire" messge. My.Dish shows the new receiver online and with...

I thought I'd check on the number of "events" it has via DishAnywhere. But when I select DVR it says "Something Went Haywire. We are unable to connect to your receiver." Boo hiss. How long before DishAnywhere can connect to the "new" receiver?

Another update to my disappearing EHD problem: Received new(?) Hopper3 replacement. If it's not new, it's in pristine condition. Updated old receiver from 389 to 390 just to see if the EHD would make an appearance. It didn't. Saved receiver settings to 40 remote. Unplugged old H3. Moved all...

Huh. I couldn't see the back when I moved the cable, but I thought I plugged it into the USB3 port because I have my AirTV adapter plugged into the hub on the Seagate. Aha. I found a picture on Solid Signal:

Ah... What does that mean? Fewer? Blacker like HDR can give? I wish it would fix my missing EHD issue, but alas I still have 389.

I had a good diagnostic phone call with Dish support regarding this issue. What my tech had me do that I had not already done was plug the Seagate into the upper USB port. No change. The receiver can "see" when I unplug it, but when I plug it back in, nothing happens including the hated...

That also didn't work. But I did see the USB device removal pop-up. When I plugged it back in again, I saw nothing. This is looking very familiar, like my 3rd EHD from a 612 never showed up but nevertheless the receiver could see it there once removed. Back in the day, a "hit" would fix it...

Maybe Dish is preparing to send out widescreen SD and not that picture-framed nonsense I see on some channels such as Hallmark Family. Blech.
