Long time hopper 3 & 3 joeys customer. Lately I have a problem restoring the audio and video feed (HDMI) from hopper 3 to attached HDTV (Sharp 1080P). Has historically worked fine, now every time I turn off TV and come back in two or three hours when I turn on the TV there is no video or...

Just upgraded to Hopper3 after 3 years with hopper2. Old hopper2 was connected to my home network via a ethernet cable (hard wired to 5 port switch connected to Asus Router). Hopper2 worked perfectly with no connection problems. Installation tech set up new Hopper3 to connect via wifi. I...

Lately I have, found from time to time, what appears to be a part of the DVR cursor showing up on my TV screen. It appears on both live and recorded programs. At first I thought it was a problem with by LED TV, but rebooting the hopper corrects the problem for a while then it reoccurs. I...

Interesting! Thanks for the info. After looking around some through the menu system I found that the "HDTV Setup screen" (menu, 6,8) had a setting for "Analog Type" and there you could chose between offair and cable. After selection offair and running the channel scan again, It found 35 local...

VIP 722 and Local OTA Digital Channels by fharris770 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:42 am I just added an OTA antenna outside. When directly attached to my HD TV it finds multiple channels. All four network affiliates as well as about 8 others. The signal strength of the local varies...

Thanks, I clicked on settings at bottom of screen then clicked on "General Settings". There was a section on messaging. There were several buttons where you could customize your settings. All the buttons were properly selected EXCEPT one near the bottom. The default was "do not save copies...

I signed in to forum, clicked on "notifications" saw no new messages then clicked on "in Box". Only thing showing in my in box is the original reply from the first message sent. My first message was to ZackS my message today was to MaryB. I understand that the recipient might not be working...

OK, I sent a pm to a dirt member three days ago and got a reply the following day. Then I replied to the same dirt member with a follow up question. No response as yet. Today I sent another pm to a dirt member and checked back later to see if answered, no answer and when I checked my...

WOW, absolutely a no brainer. For an extra $50 one time I can go from 3 to 6 tuners and have a backup DVR should one unit fail. I can't believe DISH hasn't decided to get more $$$ for this setup. Think I will order quickly before they change their mind. By the way, other than the obvious are...

Interesting comment, I am looking at upgrading from my 5 year old 722. If I understand correctly I can upgrade to a hopper w/sling and two joeys for $100 (with monthly fees of $10 for hopper and $14 for the two joeys) OR upgrade to Hopper w/sling, Hopper w/out sling and one joey for $150...

for some reason I was unable to display the OTA channels using my 722. When I attached the OTA feed to the 722 input and did a search it found the locals, but could not display them It could for instance tune the old channel 02,but not the digital channel 02.1 As I was about ready to upgrade...

OK, I'm just about ready to move up to a hopper and two joeys from my 722. I still have a few questions that I haven't seen answered in this forum. First, my hopper will be in family room with big screen HDTV, one Joey will be in home office with HDTV and other Joey will be in Master Bedroom...

I agree about the inside location. When I ran all new RG6 I took the feeds from the dish about 4 feet and then under eve of house and into attic and from there down two floors to basement ceiling where I passed them through a grounding block and then to receiver. I do not have anything outside...

LNB is labeled dpPlus. the separator is also labeled dp plus. and has dish logo on it so I assume it is their equipment, not 3rd party. I also did check switch. Getting 100, 119 and 129 on both inputs. screen says Port 1 DPP 1k.2 w/seperator and port w same.

LNB is labeled dpPlus. the separator is also labeled dp plus. and has dish logo on it so I assume it is their equipment, not 3rd party.

Climbed out on the roof and took a look. Dish is labeled: DISH TURBO HD, the LNB has 3 "horns" but there are only 2 cables feeding out. It has been at least 5 years since anyone from Dish has been on site. The LNB is labeled dpPlus. The horns are evenly spaced rather than two together and...

HopperJoeySystem_JobAid.pdf There are two diagrams, one shows the two in / two out method. The second diagram shows two feeds from dish, but only one output is used. The used output has a "tap" before the splitter and one output from the TAP goes to a splitter and the other output from the tap...

I have done some searching for the answer to my question, but haven't had much luck. I am seriously considering upgrading to a hopper from my existing 722. I have had the 722 unit for a LONG time and have learned a lot over that time about the setup. In reviewing the diagrams from DISH on...

So, I solved my problem by performing a complete reboot (Unplug wait then plug back in.) Now all back to normal with my timers. Beercan -- not sure that will work for your issue. :).

Long time user - VIP 722. Recently having problem modifying start early/end late time. When I select timer and choose "options" the start early and end late fields are "greyed out" leaving "Protect event" as only available option. Any one else having this problem?

thanks guys. I should have said I have a 722 operating in dual mode (at least 5 yrs old). I do a lot of recording in prime time and often have both tuners programed at the same time. I would almost swear that not long ago, I could do the "end 1 min late option without affecting the next...

I seem to remember that for a long time I could schedule a program to record and end recording "one minute late" so as to not miss the next week previews. If there were another recording programed right after, the second program would simply start one minute late without problem. Now if I...

I know I should use the blue connectors for feeds running to the receiver. But, what about the feed(s) from the modulated output? Is it OK to use the lower cost crimp connectors for runs to remote locations?

I have been rewiring with rg6 for the remote locations. I want to split one run from the modulated output to serve two seldom used bedrooms. What splitter is best. I read some are 1.0 ghz and others are 2.4ghz.

I omitted reference to ground block. Yes, there was one from the prior install of the 508 and 510. I traced the two cables from the dish to the block and from there the two cables entering the house. One cable was split (DPP) to the two SAT inputs. The other cable actually did go to the ANT...
