hopper hooked up to internet, but unable to access dish on demand

[Bobbigrl27]

We just got the Hopper hooked up this morning. When I try accessing blockbuster at home, I get a message telling me to connect the hopper to broadband. The same happened when I tried Dish on Demand. I know it's hooked up to our wireless network because the apps work. Any ideas on whats going on?

Go to "Settings" and "Broadband", re-set.

Video on demand and Blockbuster is usually not available until the next day. After the nightly update, I think.

Yeah, I had to wait a day for that stuff (and the search function) to become operational. They tested the apps when they hooked it up, but told me I wouldn't be able to do on-demand for a day or two. Patience, grasshoppah!

Thanks for the replies everyone. I called my installer and he said it could take up to 3 days for Blockbuster at home and Dish in Demand to work. With all of the hopper information he was telling me, he forgot to mention that part.

I always reset the hopper before I start education, blockbuster usually works then.

Actually, after you first connect the internet then go past the initial "accept" message on BBhome and on-demand---then you need to unplug the receiver and plug back in for a "hard reset." Then when it reloads your oN-Demand will be able to be accessed immediately. Of course, you could always wait for days if you want

I hava a thread on a similar situation with my 722k but so far no feedback...so I posted then here to see.....I had my 722K with a sling adapter and ethernet connection...My Dish on Demand connections does not "stick"...I have to manually iniitiate it again from the menu it seems to work just a little while but rarely I am able to watch or download anything...It had worked maybe a couple of times, but mostly I have to recommnet manually but do not stick, I mean the web connection...I chat with support and asked me to check the UpnP connection or DMZ. The UpnP is enable, I don't know about the DMZ...

ANy help with this is appreciatted.

BTW, I don't have the BB, just tried the free movies on demand....
