I've got a hopper setup in my house with no joeys. I'm running software version S525 NDEB.
My hopper bit the dust about 6 months ago. It required a new hopper from dish to be sent.
I installed the new hopper and did a restore via the saved settings on the remote, which worked great. Only loss was the recordings on the old DVR. All else was just as before.....with one oddity.
Old hopper: when I would turn my tv off, eventually the hopper goes into stand by. When I would later turn the tv back on, the hopper would default back to the last channel I was watching.....I.e. If I was watching channel 123, and the turned the tv off and came back later and turned the tv on and "woke up" the hopper from standby mode, it would go back to channel 123 (pending there wasn't a situation where all the tuners were recording something which is pretty rare in my house).
New hopper: It goes into standby just like the old one, however unlike the old one, it doesn't go back to the previously watching channel. Rather, it seems to do some sort of calculation and determines that at this time of the day, normally I'm watching Chanel 127 and automatically goes there rather than the last channel.
This, (although kinda freaky) can be a nice feature at times, however there are times when it is really annoying. I can litterally put the hopper in standby and immediately wake it up and it is at a different channel. I.e. Be watching 125, go in stby, immediately wake up, and it is at 127. I can then flip to 125, again go in stby and immediately wake up and it is back at 127.
Is this normal? Is there a way to turn this "smart" channel select feature off?
