    390 Black Screen

    Yea, I tried swapping the HDMI cable (that was my first thoughts). But leaving it alone seems to have brought it back. If it happens again, I'll get a new Hopper and put up with the darm (softened words) with the grief of changing over.

    Manual timer with show title on H3

    Yeah, it's called Seek recording, and the only way now I know how to do it is to search for a show or actor (or look at the list they show as [you may also like] at the end and then select it. If it's in the schedule, then it will set the recording. If not, it will set a Seek timer so that...

    Hopper hard drive duplication for backup

    Naa. It's just the format of the drive (it uses EXT3) and the file structure and all the support files in each subdirectory in each partition. You can even move recording between partitions and it doesn't care. Its the name of the folder and that stuff inside. When I've copied I just use a...

    390 Black Screen

    Well, it was tough to do any of the above because the screen was BLACK and I couldn't even see the channel list or do a manual software load. How do you do any of that with a BLACK screen and you cannot see anything on the screen? But I did three resets, to no avail. So I gave up and went to...

    Hopper 3 software version 389

    Theoretically, being that the AirTV and the EHDs are only USB-2, it shouldn't matter which plug you use. I guess that Dish put in USB-3 for future-proofing, then un-proofed themselves.

    390 Black Screen

    Well, I turned on the Hopper to be greeted by the infamous black screen. I did a red button reset (I'm sure it did as the EHD lights were flashing) Then, I did a Power Cord reset. Same thing. When I turned the Joey's on, they said refresh is in progress, but they now work fine. But Hopper...

    Hopper 3 software version 389

    The only difference is that the top port is USB-3 while the bottom is USB-2. But it shouldn't matter as the Hopper can only support USB-2 speeds

    Unable to manage recordings on external hard drive with Hopper 3

    I saw that a couple of times. As usual, EHD bugs. I got them back by accessing one of my other EHDs and then going back to the one that failed. I haven't tried going back to the Hopper main DVR display but my guess is that it won't work as I think you need to change the pointer to the bug EHD...

    Hopper 3 software version 389

    For a couple of days, I watched and deleted a few (well many) shows. The next day, all the deleted show were back in the DVR guide. Showed as played but they were there non-the-least. Anyone else see this. I watched a ton of the Chicago shows, deleted at the end and they were back.

    H388 - Hopper 3 - 02/19/2025

    Take it from an EE. Sort of hard to do that when the LED installed is only Green

    Hopper 3 software version 389

    Yesterday on a recorded show, a commercial came on that I wanted to watch again. I did the standard couple of backpresses to see it again. After the back presses the video restart but no volume at all. No matter how many backpresses go going forward would restart the sound. Had to go to...

    autohop - why does it work only with Prime time

    Opposite. NBC is next day. CBS can take up to a week which is why I use the 30 second quick press fast forward trick.

    2 Tb SSD on Hopper 3

    Nope, the H3 doesn't support the TRIM command. Without TRIM, the SSD doesn't know whether blocks are allocated, so it will fill and die.

    Well, I found a new(ish) Autohop feature!'

    I know the feature has been around for a few releases, but I thought I'd post it now that I have time. Some programming agreements (NBC, etc.) allow Autohop to be used from the next day. But some require up to a week to 10 days before the program is listed as autohop available. But try this if...

    Interesting. Charlie is having some deep reflections now.

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

    I have seen the same problem. The end of the previous show (whatever was paused) is prepended to the front of the new one. And the new one does not have a play function (you have to press the play button on the program icon)

    Hopper 3 skipping a dvr show issues

    I think I'll wait my scheduled push. So far not an issue or I haven't noticed it.

    Hopper 3 - Please wait refresh in progress

    If it's been a while since its normal nightly self-reboot, it will do that. The way to keep it from self-rebooting is to keep it on Netflix, Prime or any other app. When it's in an app, even if you fall asleep and someone turns the TV off, the Hopper remains in the app, and the timer will not...

    New display showing up

    If so, does it happen in the same spot in the recording if you play it back? A test if it's the video output of the Hopper or in the input decoder.

    Hoppers Constantly Making Noise When Off

    It's 100% not normal; ours is so silent I can't hear it even when I bend down to press the Find Remote button. Is yours on a level surface as you've said that you had multiple units that have done that.

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

    I've noticed an issue for the past few releases. Even though the CID display is turned off, and I've verified it a few times, it still shows the caller ID display on the lower right. It does not affect any recording, but any company that is over can see phone numbers. I could just unplug the...
