New Customer--Many Problems!

[Bruce]

Update: The sound started dropping out again, so I swapped out hdmi cables. So far, so good….

I do not have Dish, but I was having major issues on my Sony Z9K and eArc, constant drop outs.

Now I run everything into my processor first, then just video to the TV, no more issues.

I didn't want to hear that--I had planned on picking up some powered speakers with HDMI input. Although, I still might try since it seems as though the issue may have been with the cable.

This still amazes me, if I remember correctly, this has been going on for more then a year.

I have a Roku Ultra that flags the correct material as HDR/DV or not, I do not have to go into the settings every time and switch it off or on.

If a basic inexpensive device like the Roku can do it correctly, why cannot Dish fix the Joey 4 to do the same?

The hack last year probably redirected all their IT folks away from things like the H+. I would guess many are still working on things related to the hack and ongoing network security issues. Just playing devil’s advocate.

That sounds like a TV issue. I remember people having the same issues on a certain brand of tvs. I think it may of been vizios. Regardless of brand you may try doing a factory reset on your TV then connecting to internet and letting it download the latest firmware.
Also on vizios if you unplug it then hold down the power button for a full 60 seconds then let go and plug back in, it usually resolves a lot of issues.

Vizio, Samsung.. and a few of the newer LG's are doing this. Just reset the TV and that seems to fix it. Just a weird software glitch.

I don't really miss the Primetime Live feature, but I would like PIP on my other TV. Am I correct that I could purchase another H3 outright? If so, would it be considered a client--just like a Joey, and would I have to still pay a monthly fee?

 

[navychop]

Yes to buy.

Not a client.

Yes on monthly fee.

Thanks!

So it looks like I would need one of these (and just put a cap on the unused client)?

Would each H3 be able to access recordings on the other?

You would also need a 42 switch. It is a requirement for a 2 Hopper 3 setup.

Two hopper3s need a dpp lnb with 42 switch and two solo hubs. While not approved you can technically run a jumper from client on one hub to client on second hub and then the two hoppers will see each other.

Or use a Duo Hub

You technically can but it's not the proper way to install two hopper3s

But we have a few here who have the Duo Hub configuration working for years without issue. That jumper you mentioned also works but also is not approved. So you can buy 2 solo hubs and place a jumper between them or buy 1 duo hub and be done with it.

So it appears as though if the 42 switch is installed outside in the box, I would need a separate RG6 to each solo hub in the basement?

Yes

I have another issue that has been occurring with my Joey: When pressing recall, most of the time it will show No Information Available, and only once in a while the last 6 stations will display. I tried doing a reset, but it only helped temporarily.
