new software update U321 for Hopper 3

[bnewt]

You feel that programmers (and equipment manufacturers) should drop all hardware support for all but the latest, "present" technology ? Hell, my 2-year old TV has composite inputs. It has RF as well but that's a dual-function for use with an OTA antenna.

not what I said at all........but IF Dish is advertising the H3 as the latest in technology & best dvr on the market.........the things that worked in the past should certainly work, including the OTA issue. If the H3 had the rf input, but no tuner, would that ok too? The H3 may be great, but there are several issues that were there on release that still have not been corrected. There are apparently some that did function upon release that now do not. Dish needs to get things sorted out & corrected.

The 'dolby issue' is easily solved by using HDMI for video and optical for audio.

Not sure how this would work for me. Hopper goes to my xbox one. HDMI from tv to Bose soundbar

It might not be a solution for you then. If the Bose sound bar has an optical input and a way to switch to it, you might be able to hook optical from the Hopper to the sound bar.

I was wondering why PTA was turned on yesterday when my wife asked me why the local channels in the guide had the P symbol.

Thanks. Haven't thought about that setup. I've had optical from Xbox one to soundbar

I have a similar setup. I use a switch and optical outputs running from both the Hopper and Xbox one. Not a perfect solution, but it works. I just have to manually switch the optical output to whatever I want to use.

My Home Theater setup used an older version of this: http://www.inday.com/da4x.html and I took advantage of the unit's preference of Optical over Coax input to stack some of the inputs to my old Marantz AVR with a single coax and optical digital input. The Inday was IR controlled so I was able to control everything with the Harmony remote. Since I got the Yamaha receiver it has enough digital audio inputs so it isn't an issue, but I still use the Inday to switch since all the cables are run to where the Inday switch is.
