    Loyal Dish customer longevity

    May of 1998 - Self install of a kit dish sent us. Remember peaking the dish using crude giant cell phone calling my wife on the landline. Cell service was so poor we opened the window and hollered to each other. The receiver was a dinosaur looking sheet metal box - "Echostar" on the back. Bill...

    Netflix "blue screen" on Hopper 3

    Well, came home from work, saw Yall's suggestions, and everything works normally now. Apps work, going to Netflix directly from ch 302 works. Either a random hiccup, or the beginning of hard drive failure methinks.... Thanks!

    Netflix "blue screen" on Hopper 3

    So - today my hopper started going to a blue screen of death anytime I switch to the netflix channel (in the 300's). Requires a soft reboot to get the hopper back (pressing power & reset together), otherwise the unit locks up and will not respond to any key presses. Thoughts?

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    I don't remember the number, and just scanning the channels I don't see one now. It was a science channel in the 500's. In the post above they referred to Planet Earth at 540. That is probably the channel I tried.It was several weeks back, and after a week or so I stopped trying and haven't...

    Odd 4k channel 540 issue.

    I have had the same issue with my H3, and basically gave up trying to watch 4k on Dish. I have a new LG OLED 4k tv, new Pioneer 4k receiver, and 4k h3 w/sling. I assumed the problem was because my equipment is 30' away in a cabinet, and HDMI is iffy at this distance in 4k. From what I have...

    Dish Network - 4K question

    PS - the Hearst debacle caused us to lose our NBC affiliate. I replaced the old faulty preamp from my tv antenna,and got OTA locals working again. I forgot just how much better locals are OTA than through dish. Can't wait for football season now.

    Dish Network - 4K question

    Yes - I have an 11.1 atmos/dtsx system (actually 7.1.4). My home flooded on 3/11/16, and destroyed my Golden ear triton 2 tower speakers (5.1 system). In an effort to increase the WAF I went with golden ear satellites on the wall for front left, right, and center. I moved the audio and...

    Dish Network - 4K question

    If you want 4k from Dish, or for that matter atmos or dtsx, just go stand outside and hold your breath. When you wake back up after passing out go buy an Oppo bdp203 blu ray player and BUY some 4k movies (Netflix doesn't rent them). You can also just use the Netflix and/or amazon apps built...

    Does the Hopper 3 do HDR?

    Dish's lack of support for 4k, HDR, Atmos,and DTS-X has me scratching my head. With them skipping CES it indicates nothing new in the pipeline any time soon. After our home flooded last spring I now have a new TV, AV receiver, and 7.1.4 speaker system. Netflix and Amazon have a considerable...

    Does Dish Hopper 3 Supports HDR10 ?

    Cleveland AV has the LG OLED 65 B6P at great prices in your range. I bought one from my local retailer in New Orleans for a similar price. It is a FANTASTIC tv, and the built in netflix and amazon prime apps show a much better picture than netflix on my hopper 3. Get the c6p if you want 3d and a...

    What audio formats is DISH network currently supporting?

    My home flooded last spring, and during the rebuild we decided to not go back with floor speakers or credenza full of equipment. So now I have a new 7.1.4 Golden Ear Atmos system with front speakers wall mounted and the other 8 in the ceiling. The new pioneer 11 channel receiver is now in a...

    Hopper 3 - What 3 Things Would You Change?

    1) More tactile feel on remote buttons, protruding, different shape, etc. OR - back-lit remote. 2) Need a DVR icon on the screen that shows other episodes after you stop playback and then delete the show you just finished. 3) More dedicated buttons on remote

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    "Use select button" - Thanx - knew it had to be something simple to get it to stop. OTA adapters - didn't think about lightning, I do have a 25' antenna. I'll try buying one adapter & see if it works. New recordings - when the pop up in the bottom right corner flashes showing that it is saving...

    Official - I have a Hopper 3 Thread!

    One more thing - my usb OTA adapters both stopped working at the same time a few months ago. Called DISH and they acted like I was from mars. No help whatsoever. Plugged them into the H3, and they still don't show up. Any ideas?

    New Hopper?

    Still looking for integration of timers & recorded programs into a single list for each. So tired of having to have a magic thumb to jump around to the other hopper, or to have to go in the other room to edit it's timer list.Maybe if we get more tuners I can replace the extra hopper with a joey.

    Full 2 hopper integration coming?

    I looked at the super joey - it would leave me with less tuners than I have now. Would love to use folders - the software is so hard to figure out it isn't worth the effort. Had it down on my 922, but the hopper software is another world entirely. Hard to manipulate shows on my EHD too...

    Full 2 hopper integration coming?

    Thanx for the reply Scott. So much for all the hype they talked about before the Hopper was the big deal it is today..... Automatic tuner sharing would be a great leap forward. It would still leave us stuck with the constant gyrations with the remote trying to see what is recorded on which...

    DISH Energizes Hopper Platform at CES!

    Will more suprjoeys equal more tuners? IE - 1 hopper + 2 superjoeys = 10 tuners?

    Will more super joeys in the home add even more available tuners? IE - 1 Hopper with 2 super joeys = 10 tuners?

    Full 2 hopper integration coming?

    Bump... Hey Scott, What ever happened to the promised true multi hopper integration? With the introduction of Hopper with Sling it seems like integration has gone to the back burner. Many of us don't have a need in the world for sling, but want what was originally promised by Dish...
