Hopper skip fwr/back problems.

[brad1138]

I have had this problem since I got my Hopper over 6 months ago. I assumed it was just software problem that would be fixed sooner or later, but I don't see anyone else complaining about it and I still have it. If I am watching live TV and hit skip back, it is almost never 10 seconds, usually it is between 5-30 seconds. If it is in the 5-10 second range, it will jump back to live on its own within about 10 seconds. It is very annoying, is anyone else having this prob? I really don't want to loose all the programs I have recorded and don't want to buy an external HD, that may or may not transfer recordings to new Hopper.

Anyway, anyone else seeing this?

That is a known issue with the receiver. I can pass along your feedback DISH but the fix is going to be a SW update.

Yeah, you aren't alone. There is a discussion going on in this thread if you're interested:

But we feel your pain.

And it isn't limited to just the Hopper/Joey. Older ViP series receivers also have this problem.

Even the older SD DVRs such as the 625 have the issue... Not a huge deal but it would be nice if they fixed it.
