I typically use zip-ties

There is no SW34. There is a DP34 which is three DishPro LNBFs to four DishPro compatible receivers. This is different than the DPH34 which is the same as the DPH42 but for only three inputs and four outputs and cascadable. To say what's compatible, we really need to know what type of...

Yes, and those incompatibilities just get worse with each new iteration.

Yes, there were always a few problems but now there are more. As long as I've had the H+, only the red button of the four colored buttons works, though the colored indicators are still there on the screen implying that the green and yellow buttons should work, but they don't. Also the record...

Nice additions. Unfortunately, looks like all the problems I reported on the previous few releases are still there. Plus a couple more. As of today, the Play and Pause buttons on my 40.0 remotes are no longer functional. Mrs. Pepper has told me this is the last straw for the Hopper Plus and I...

I watched. And I have only one question: who's filing a class-action lawsuit so I can get that 1.5 hours of my life back?

I concur with cyberham, get a motor. The only caveat there is trees and other obstacles. The main reason my backyard is now full of dish antennae pointed every which way is because of a bunch of trees that grew and filled in over the past few years, so unless I take out a loan and hire a tree...

Wally has an ethernet adapter so if that is available at the TV location you don't need Wi-Fi.

Oh are you one of the developers? Please find my list of bugs from recent releases and fix those too ;)

The clue is in the logo. Kangaroos hop, so you could call them a Hopper. A baby kangaroo is called a Joey. Related to Kangaroos, but slightly different, is the Wallaby which you could call a Wally. The Hopper hops too, over commercials. That was its defining feature back in the day. That's the...

105 is pretty much just the VA but things can change without notice. I got my DiSEqC 8x1 switches from Hyper Casey ~ $20 each. I started with one of those and grew. Yes, it's an addictive hobby. (click below for gory details)

Never noticed it before but most of what we watch is not in big-4 prime time.

I've seen plenty of websites act like that on occasion over the years, long before 24H2 was available, it's most likely a Chromium rendering engine got confused thing since it usually works correctly upon refreshing the page.

Holy crap. Why mounted so high in the first place, is that the only way it could get LOS? If it's not at ground level, I ain't messin' with it.

Congrats on your progress! Those HughesNet dishes are great, I have one pointed at 97/101/105. You can stack LNBFs on either side of the center one and get satellites 4 degrees apart easily with that dish. To combine them, I'm using a DiSEqC 1.1 8x1 switch (around $20) and WB68 multiswitches to...

I'm confused. If your Hopper is on your internal network behind your router, and you haven't configured any open ports from the outside to the Hopper's internal IP address, what makes you think this is something trying to get to the Hopper and not just some random bot on the internet trying to...

If they're offering a free upgrade with commitment, hold out for a Hopper 3 and 3 Joeys (or fewer Joeys if all three bedrooms aren't in simultaneous use). You can attach a USB hard drive to the 722 and save off the recordings, they'll be viewable on a Hopper.

Tempting, but 3D is always on my list of requirements so... no. Not sure exactly what MAX QD means, but if you drop that off the search string, Best Buy has one for barely $17 thousand.

Pretty sure I've never known of that site before right now. And registration is disabled. Oh well.

Your story gave me a PTSD episode about trying to teach my mother in law how to use an iPhone. She has a Fire tablet that she navigates well on, viewing facebook and pinterest and a few other things. But the very idea of making a phone call with a glass rectangle, where all you have to do is...

Just checked. As expected, all my bugs are still there. I guess I feel special. https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/hopper-3-385-update.413205/post-4954002

Depends how many tries it takes to get whatever the new thing is working, then they can start trying to fix whatever got broken when they made the new thing. (source: was a programmer for many years)

Yes, you need either a motorized dish, or one dish (well, one LNBF) per satellite and the LNBFs connected thru multiswitches. It gets complicated real quick. Additionally, if the frequency is C-Band (4000 Mhz range) you need a big dish preferably around 8 feet or more across. The smaller Ku...

I still see TVPI 611-11 on 118.

The "default" is whatever you used most recently.
