Netflix comes to the Hopper with Sling

[RBergmann]

Closed Caption does not work for me when getting Netflix via the Hopper app. Am missing something or does everyone have this issue?

Make sure to configure Netflix with its own CC option. The Hopper CC will not work.

Yes. It works. I had forgotten. Tks for the response.

Now I just wish the hopper had a youtube app.

I'll keep using my Appletv until ultra hd fix

Will I be able to record a Netflix show to my DVR and transfer it to my iPad to watch offline? That is something to get excited about.

No.

I would use the Netflix app on the HWS if it preserved the PiP buffers but since it doesn't, Netflix on the Roku is better.

When watching tv on the hopper I frequently hit the cancel button to see the time and also see how much time is left on a recorded program I'm watching. I wish they would add that feature while using the Netflix app. I hit that button a few times out of habit while watching Netflix and of course it cancels out of the program I'm watching.

Hit "pause" ?

I finally figured that out after numerous times of hitting cancel. It still doesn't show the time though. I have to turn all the way around in my chair and look at the clock on the wall behind me to get the time. That's unacceptable.

Get a wristwatch then you don't have to turn around.

Or better yet, stick a clock on top of the the TV.

Time Assumption even? Cell Phone? Watch? Hell, even a sun dial?

Just put your old vcr, (does anyone still have one?),on top of your tv and you will see the time anytime you want. Of course it will only flash 12:00 all day long................

I don't get why Dish and Direct dont put the clock and channel number on the front of the receiver like cable company boxes do. Maybe it saves them a few bucks?

I have a mantle clock in my living room ,so I just look up and to the left and there's the time. I used to wear a wrist watch and have since junior high , but this last year it broke and I just didn't replace it. My cell phone has the time so I use that now for my watch. I carry it everywhere now ,so it works the same.

Do the cable companies have a Netflix app on their set-tops ?

The Pandora app is on the Joey. Some have an issue with the pandora app resetting the Joey after playing about 45 minutes but is does work nicely. Netflix is supposed to be coming to the Joeys at some point.

I hadn't noticed Pandora was on the Joey. I tried to connect to Pandora but got a message saying I needed a Hopper Internet connector, or broadband connection. Do I need to configure the Hopper or Joey differently for it to work?

Sounds like you need to enable bridging on the Hopper so that the Joeys can stream. I was always nervous about the amount of network traffic and slow Joey performance so I have left bridging off . . . but I have no evidence that bridging actually slows things down.

I have no trouble with watching on demand on the Joey. So I assumed it was bridged.
