    Hopper 3 Version 392 is Here

    I wonder why a Dish rep doesn't let us know what the updates are about. Right here. I assume many who work for Dish follow threads here, know what the main concerns are. (The black screen with recordings!!).

    A new problem with recordings

    Yes, it is enabled. If that's the case I probably waited little longer than usual before I moved them into Nature folder. I tried it a minute ago. It worked! I checked the recording date on it. April 6th. Today is 9th. If I am not mistaken I must wait 3 days before moving them. Thank you for...

    A new problem with recordings

    I have Hopper3 and Joey2s. I don't know what is the latest update. If it is necessary I can check the devices later.

    A new problem with recordings

    When I records episodes of a show I create folders and keep them in there. I find it easier. Well, something weird happened yesterday. I record Tom Hanks' the Americas from one of the networks (satellite not OTA). Until yesterday I was able to select and move them into a folder named Nature. I...

    Possible way to use bonus view channels without any guide data

    Speaking of newly offered streaming channels, I have 2 questions... As Boston says you must have an active subscription to download guide to see those channels and what they offer. 1- Are we able to select them in Guide and record them as we do with regular satellite and OTA channels? After...

    Hopper 3 Upgrade Software to vH390

    Every Dish update causes confusion. Most of us have no idea what the improvements are. I would like to see a sticky thread (where people read but can't leave comments) by a Dish employee or moderator to make it simple. Show us new versions for different devices and what the new or fixed features...

    Pixelation on ABC

    Good morning. My internet search shows....... Channel 9 ABC is from Orlando, WFTV. Are these recordings from satellite or OTA? I realize my location, which is central KY does not matter to you. My network recordings from satellite are fine. Hopefully, some fellow Floridians who live close to...

    Black Screen Issue

    Something weird happened last night. (I occasionally see this. Not often though.) I watched a recording, one of those FBI shows from a local network channels. When it was over, I stopped it with remote and selected the option to go back to DVR. Folders and recordings screen was on. But, all the...

    Black Screen Issue

    Hey Hipkat; If this black screen issue was caused by some software update (That's my opinion. I did not have this in the past.) what can a technician do at subscriber's house? Does he somehow reset the system?

    Channels moved to Streaming; Ability to record?

    That is good news indeed. Do they expire or stay on Hopper until you delete them?

    Joey2, please don't die on me!!

    Well, my understanding from Jim's statement is it is acceptable if installer tells a customer what is available as service or gadgets. That wouldn't bother me at all. I would just decline it as Peter did. I wouldn't get annoyed though unless the installer tells me I must accept all the extras. I...

    Joey2, please don't die on me!!

    Kinda confused here, which is not a good thing for an old geezer! I must ask..... If the same Joey2 starts acting and I swap 2 units as suggested..Still having the same issue with new location. I call Dish, explain. Do they require the same model which is Joey2 (very likely a refurbished unit)...

    Joey2, please don't die on me!!

    Waited wifey to finish watching her beloved show. went to kitchen. Joey automatically switched to live (the last channel viewed) tv. changed channels to be sure. it was good. Perhaps, we dodged the bullet. It happens again, I will swap two. Still bad, time to call for joey4. thanks for all the...

    Joey2, please don't die on me!!

    Today, something weird happened. the wifey yelling from kitchen she can not watch TV. I go up there, notice the 'signal lost' (can't remember exact words.) warning. 3 choices, streaming, DVR and learn more. I turn the Joey off and on. still the same. I go to basement tv (with another Joey2)...

    Hisense and Hopper 3

    Even the learning mode may not help. I purchased an inexpensive small sound bar for my 32" Vizio tv used in kitchen. The brand was not listed. tried the learning mode. didn't work. Since I liked the way it sounded (I used it with smartphone's Bluetooth to test it) and it was on sale at Amazon I...

    PLEASE do something about the blue box!

    Absolutely. I am always hesitant to delete a recording. I had to go to trash folder and rescue few. It shouldn't be too hard to make that blue border wider. Especially, for older people!!

    Satellite signal out?

    Yes, I had that issue in the past. LNB & Dish are covered with snow, sleet and ice... you have to clean them.. I live in Georgetown, KY. We had about 6 inch soft snow. It is sleet now. Praying ice won't reach us. Dish is working fine so far.

    More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

    Bobby is like Wikipedia of Dish. We should nickname him 'Bobbydia'!! ;)

    More and more streaming FAST channels on DISH

    Does Dish require that subscribers have certain packages to stream these channels? I was curious and checked the guide.(I changed it to 'all channels".) The Guide does not show them at all. I have wellcome package.

    Joey2 or H3 issue with black screen

    The mystery continues!!! :mad:The latest: I had enough dealing with this black screen after selecting a recorded show from DVR. (Joey 2 in the basement). 2 days go. I decided to swap 2 Joeys to see if that would help. I took basement Joey and the remote and went to our bedroom where we hardly...

    Joey2 or H3 issue with black screen

    G'morning friends. Having a problem last several weeks, perhaps a month. Recordings that won't start right away. This is on main tv with joey2. If not mistaken, mostly prime time recordings. I select a recorded show. the tv screen turns black. And it stays black!. After waiting 15-30 seconds I...

    Joey keeps freezing

    Hey HipK; What is the life expectancy of joeys? I imagine they need to be replaced eventually. My joey2 (the one I use every day and have 3) seems to be giving me early warnings now and then. Sluggishness, occasional black screen after turning it on, etc. Not too often. Unplugging and plugging...
