Hopper 3 - Turning on To Home Screen Annoyance

[jayiw]

When turning on the H# it always goes to the "home" screen. Does anyone know of a setting to turn it on to TV instead. It's very annoying. 4K Joey goes right to TV.

Thanks
Jay

Agree 100% that is unneeded and annoying. Unfortunately we are stuck with it. There is no way to turn off that "feature" on the H3. Luckily the Joeys were not infected with this "feature" yet.

Did I mention it was unneeded and annoying? Not sure...I may have said that in a post or three already. Dish...are you listening yet?

If you have a Harmony remote, I can tell you a cool trick how to eliminate that.

...and the trick is??

I just checked and it does not do it on my Wireless Joey. I can't remember if it did it on my Joey 2 though.

Yep...it's only on the H3 itself.

Pull up the Logitech software on your PC

Select your current TV watching activity that includes the H3

Rerun the Activity Wizard and confirm each step

At the end check the selection that says yes, all is good, but I want more control

Confirm each step until the last screen

Add an additional command to the start of the Activity

Select the Hopper and as the command LiveTV or Cancel

Save the settings

Update Remote

From now on every time you start the Activity, the remote turns on everything as usual, but additionally sends the LiveTV or Cancel command, so by the time your TV shows a picture, the home screen is already clicked away for you and you will be greeted with the channel you last watched when you turned it off.

Add an additional command

Before they made the Green Button a Closed Captioning On/Off toggle, I had my Harmony go Menu/Settings/CC/Select/View TV and so created a "one-button" solution.

But I like the Green Button solution better, I must say.

Hmmm, never thought of that. I do have a Harmony and will check this out. Thank you.

I actually have mine tune to channel 478. You either get no content, the HD-programming-will-return-later smooth-Jazz, or Baseball. Basically the least abrasive programming you could possible start your TV to.

Agree with this annoyance. Hopefully they can either remove it or have it as an option so those of us that don't like it can turn it off.

I asked the same thing. I have my Xbox One turn everything on, then can use it to change channels, etc. but I always have to pick up the dish remote and get it off that damn "Home" screen.
