Hopper 3 Software Version Update

[dvrexpander]

Off subject just a tad - if your switching from Hopper2 to Hopper 3 - your able to connect them with I'm assuming a USB cable to transfer recordings right?
How long does this take for say 50% full?
I've not done one before and I'm switching over soon.

You connect them with an ethernet wire. 50% full would take about 2 days.

Must be something wrong with U518 causing them to stop the roll out. Feel sorry for all of you that got saddled with it.

I've got U518 on one of the Hopper 3's here and it's working fine.

Glad it is working for you. Cheddar_Head reported problems with it.

U518 Works for me

And according to his post all of his problems were solved with a reboot.

Jesus that is horrible...

First, cursing isn't cool.

And next, it's not a big deal. You start it and don't worry about it and use the Hopper like normal. You'll see the recordings show up on your DVR list as they're moved. And that's the only way you can move PTAT recordings too.

Most customers won’t reboot. They will call customer service. That is reason enough to pull the update and fix the issue.

And if they do call customer service tgey will be told to reboot.

I’d rather use the EHD transfer method.

If there’s a corrupted recording, what happens with direct wire transfer?

Like most customers will call MicroSoft when they have to reboot their computers too?

Every software version in every modern device occasionally needs a reboot. That's just a fact of modern life.

I've found the direct transfer to be much more reliable. Haven't seen one with a 'corrupted recording' so I don't know what it would do but I've seen many, many problems with EHD transfers.

I even had to reboot my iPhone 6+ this morning. While running Waze a dialog box popped up to allow/ignore Pandora. Froze.

About a month or so ago I made some toast and it only toasted on one side. I fiddled with the toaster and during troubleshooting I unplugged it. Without any other changes when I plugged it back in it worked fine and has been working right ever since.

I would have just flipped the bread around and toasted it again.

I'm the resident fixer around here. Just got done with a plumbing project. : )

Me too.
