    What is this strange black box on Dish?

    This gets weirder and weirder. From this and the other thread we've learned: - It's not isolated to just one provider or channel - If you record the program, it's not there on playback, meaning it's independent of the video stream somehow Do these receivers or possibly the TV itself have some...

    Error Code 05 on DishScapes?

    Based on Brittany's reply, it could also be something in software that occasionally corrupts a file. At the very least you could connect it to a computer and run a SMART utility that might tell you whether failure is imminent.

    Kijiji, eBay, and Craigslist dishes for you to take a look at

    A quick look at the map on that one, I thought it was Mobile Bay, near me. Nope, Huntsville.

    Error Code 05 on DishScapes?

    So if a user is seeing these, especially if there are a lot, and the recordings worked previously, that tells me the drive is failing. Would this in itself be enough to warrant a receiver swap? Or does it have to fail completely first? - note, after typing all that out, I did notice that OP's...

    LPB on 87w Problems?

    Heh, my 87W is an old DirecTV slimline. CNN stuff and FL lottery still there but LPB and Florida not so much, they were all just fine when I put it up a couple months ago.

    LPB on 87w Problems?

    Those persistent CNN feeds that usually are outdoor camera views have been showing the occasional Trump rally and other newsworthy events.

    Nothing on LPB or Florida when I was checking last night.

    New Wally or Pathway x2 Problem?

    In an actual house, sometimes you have the luxury of plugging things into different circuits. I wouldn't want my electronics and computers on the same circuit as the kitchen or washer/dryer type appliances. Not sure what options you have in a travel trailer though.

    Hoppers Constantly Making Noise When Off

    What's up with all the thread necromancy around here?

    How many Hoppers and Joeys are allowed?

    I never realized Dish would waive part of the DVR fee with commitment. I've never been able to get them to do such a thing. And keeping with the original theme of the thread, I have a single Hopper 3 with H+ that I've distributed to the rest of the house with HDMI - and an owned Wally that gets...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    My impression so far, moving from iPhone 14 Pro Max to 16 Pro Max. Both of them on 18.1 release candidate. Overall: everything works just like it did before, just a little more "snappy" Spatial video: I haven't yet had a chance to try it but am excited to. USB-C port: sure, that works. Action...

    Can't watch recordings day they are recorded

    New software was pushed today, possibly a fix for this issue which sounds similar to what's discussed here: Hopper 1 Software H183, Hopper 2 Software H283, Hopper 3 Software H383, Hopper Duo Software H483 and Hopper Plus Software P13106 released & available

    Hopper 1 Software H183, Hopper 2 Software H283, Hopper 3 Software H383, Hopper Duo Software H483 and Hopper Plus Software P13106 released & available

    Thanks. Pending me getting home to verify (or someone else verifying before then), here are other issues I don't expect to see fixed. I believe these to be isolated to the Hopper Plus. Squish-mode on some but not all SD channels, with no ability to adjust aspect ratios. Questions about Hopper...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    The Pro models don't have the $30 difference between the carrier and carrier-free models. Additionally there is a loophole in the requirement to select one of the big 4 carriers if you buy it with Apple Card Monthly Installments (24 zero-interest payments). I selected T-Mobile at checkout, the...

    Questions about Hopper Plus

    Yay, another issue with the Hopper Plus. Because the aspect ratios are no longer adjustable, here's a non-comprehensive list of SD channels which are in "sqush" mode with unnecessary black bars at top and bottom but the SD image otherwise stretched to the left and right edges (these SD channels...

    How to turn on WiFi on Hopper 3

    Not sure which is more disturbing, someone new comes along and reopens a thread from three years ago with five consecutive incomprehensible posts, or that charlesrshell immediately like-reacts all five of them.

    Hulu Removes Disney Plus?

    Sounds like instead of a base plan with an add-on, they now have a bundled plan that is exactly the same thing?
