The create a timer (manual timer) on the Hopper 3 will not allow an end time of later then 11:59 pm. On the Hopper 2 the end time could be set for anytime. I hope this can be fixed in a software update. There are two ways this can be fixed: 1) Either allow an end time for a manual timer to be totally independent of the start time. Right now if you set the end time to an AM time and change the start time to be a PM time the end time automatically changes to PM and will not go past 11:59 PM OR 2) Put a start time and then have a user selectable menu for allowing how long it should record for. For example to start at 10:00 PM and then set it to record for 6 hours. This is how the manual timer works for Direct TV.
Hopefully this can be fixed before the NCAA March Madness college basketball tournament. Because there are 32 games being broadcast on four different channels all day long well past midnight for the first two days of the tournament. And the best way to record all the games is to set a manual timer on all four channels for all day long until 2 or 3 am to make sure all games record even if they run long.
