Interesting, a few of us have tested that and we noticed CID worked with that setting both on and off. Perhaps it needs tto be initially turned on for it to take effect.

For my Hopper 3 the remote control reminder works properly. For my Hopper 3 Plus setup it does not. I have it set to off but still get the reminder.
We have noticed since H383 that while the skip forward works within a specified program on PTAT, if you try to skip the commercials ,etc at the end of a program to watch the next program it says Live TV and fails to go to the next recorded program.
I've tried backing up and Fast Forwarding through the end of program barrier but that also fails. Sunday night after watching Tracker we had to exit PTAT and go to the recorded programs on PTAT and select Equalizer before we could watch Equalizer. Skip forward is working fine within each program but will not allow you to proceed to the next program on PTAT while PTAT is still active (recording).

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)
I agree with you. The H+ is causing several issues. But I am hanging in there with it. My wife really likes using one remote smoothly accessing the apps.

Experienced a Hopper 3 weirdness this evening that I have not seen before. Wife was watching a DVR of a Hallmark movie and with 11 minutes left she hit FF to go through commercials and got a message that the recording was corrupted and she would have to rerecord it. She tried going back to the DVR to start over, no joy same message so she dumped it in the trash. She then tried to start another movie and got the same message to rerecord again right from the jump. I decided to try a power plug pull reset and after we had TV again I went into the trash and restored her movie and she was able to resume it without a problem. Everything seems normal again so not sure what's going on. Hope my H3 is not dying.
I have all the paused and buffered problems as well, but most distressing is that it goes black screen at least once a day, then restarts. This has been happening since well before before the 383 update.
Received H383 on 10/28/24 --- I have noticed that in the past few days some recordings during playback go to black screen for a few seconds, then resume. I don't watch live TV, only recorded shows - so I don't know if it's that the broadcast is blacking out momentarily while it's being recorded, or a problem with the recorded version itself.
Also seems it happens mainly on the local network channels. I haven't tried to go back to the recording to try to start over or resume yet or trash and restore. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it a known/reported issue?

I have not, but I did find a new "feature" which is driving me crazy. The sequence of events is this:
- Start watching a recorded movie.
- Fall asleep.
- Movie ends.
- Live TV returns and may or may not be on channel it was on before. I don't know because I was asleep at the time. But I vote for "correct channel" I was watching before.
- Joey goes into standby.
- Wake up.
- Turn on the Joey again.
- Live TV comes up on OTA channel 2. It's not on the last channel I was watching live when I started the movie. Neither the last channel nor the movie are in the recall list.

On that Joey, press Home twice, go to Settings, go to Power, Change Power On to Tune to Last channel.
Thanks. Another update-induced reconfiguration. 😡 Of course that doesn't fix the mangled recall list. Edited to add: Power On is already set to Tune to Last Channel. I don't have this problem if I turn it off deliberately, rather than falling asleep during a movie.
Yeah, WMAR which is an ABC affiliate out of Baltimore. Those will all be gone once I move to Manassas.

I experienced something similar the other day where I was on one channel but the programming was 1 hour but I was like 30 minutes behind, I was unable to rewind past the 0:00 mark for the current program.
