I have had two service calls and a replacement Hopper to try to fix this problem. I have a Hopper 3 and a Joey. The Hopper 3 will lock onto one channel and am unable to change channel. A screen will occasionally load that says" 0 of 0 tuners in use." The Joey will lose connection once this happens. The channel guide will load, but slowly. Impossible to change channel. Unplugging and resetting solves the problem temporarily (a day or two). Here's what Dish has done so far on the service end.
1) Called customer service, they were unable to get through the diagnostics screen controlling from their end. Sent out technician, replaced Hopper 3. Worked fine for a week. 2) Customer service again, again unable to complete diagnostics (they were able to get into the system and control some screens). Sent tech out. Replaced cabling from Dish to Hopper (said it was old and might be losing signal) as well as connectors, etc at Dish and at setbox. Worked fine for a week, now doing it again.
If it matters I'm running the HDMI out through an Xbox One X to the TV, but don't imagine anything to do with a signal out would screw up the whole Hopper. It seems to happen overnight more often than during the day. If any techs out there have experienced this and have a possible solution, let me know. Thanks!
