I'm good - worked last night like a charm. I realized what was messing me up a little was my PC went to sleep mode and the hopper wont see the network or server on my pc if it's in sleep mode and sometimes I need to re-set the connection once my PC goes to sleep then back on again.. only sometimes the network hangs but not always. I can live with that not problem. Thanks for all your help, YAY it works! Cheers, Bob

Is your pc a desktop or a laptop? If it's a desktop, it's best to disable sleep/hibernate mode. They don't have the circuitry that laptops do. Just set the monitor toturn off after no use.
The PC I'm using for the server is a desktop, I'm good with the sleep mode, pretty much posted that to help anyone else that may find this quirk.
Cheers,
Bob
There is a local computer radio show up here in the Rochester NY area called Soundbytes. Has been on the air for over 20 years. They recommend only using sleep mode on laptops.
Be proactive, rather than wait for a DIRT member to contact you, go to the top of the forum and see who is online. PM them with your request and account info. You'll get everything accomplished a lot quicker.
Looking to upgrade to a hopper and joey if someone could contact me that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your help!
'Currently have a 722 & a 612, 722 feeding living room HD TV and back room SD TV, 612 feeding bedroom HD TV & patio SD TV; Top 250 Package w/Blockbuster [which may soon go with the current setup].
I would like to have the Hopper installed, but I'm not quite up to speed
regarding how many 'joeys' I'll need. The TV on the patio can be showing the same thing as the main TV, it really doesn't matter, but the 3 other TV's would need to be able to be controlled and operate independently.
Thanks, and thanks for the tech info on setting up the patio TV to operate off of TV1 (main) using UHF.

Can DIRT folks set up home work orders too for problems or do we still have to call them in to CSR?
Hey Ansen. I just wanted to see if you have been assisted yet. If not, feel free to PM me!
Do you mean like setting up a regular technician visit? If so, yes we can assist you with that.
OK, thanks. I have been doing extensive troubleshooting with help from 3HaloODST for this thread: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/313347-Satellite-Transponder-has-Different-Readings-for-Hoppers It appears we are down to needing a technician. I will PM you later with all my info. I have an errand to run right now. BRB later, thanks again.
