Paramount plus

[tjboston5676]

Anyone else having volume issues with paramount plus? It's the worst I've ever experienced. The programming is so low I have to crank it up and then when an ad comes on its so loud my speakers are literally on the brink of being destroyed. No other app has this issue. It's literally a 10-15x volume difference between programming and ads or even regular TV and other apps.

Nobody else is experiencing this?

Try it with a different streaming device and see if your luck doesn't improve.

This will be breaking news but Dish has admitted defeat and is pulling all new work orders to install Hopper+ for now

You should post that in the Hopper+ thread.

I'm trying to be low-key about it. I was hoping Scott or Josh would have posted it first

My daughter is wanting a Joey 4. Is it just the Hopper Plus, that Dish is putting on hold for installation, or for installs?

This is technically the Hopper+ group...

I'm not having volume issues with Paramount Plus, but getting error messages on some programming. So I've switched over to my PS5 which works flawlessly. We recently did the same with NBA TV, which was giving us a strange audio error and not loading.

So after a year of dealing with relatively minor Hopper Plus issues, the app issues have pushed it to the trash pile. Going back to using the Fire Cube and ordered a 3rd Gen with the HDMI input for DISH. Hopefully one TV source like the Hopper +, but a much better experience. I think all I will really lose is the "recent recordings" section on the Hopper + home page, which was a nice one-stop shop.

Was willing to be patient on the Hopper + as it had great potential, but it wasn't ready for prime time at launch, and now not ready for prime time almost 15 months later.

I did turn off dolby digital and that fixed it. I do have a dolby compatibile receiver and never had issues before with it on. But it's fine because my current setup isn't really great for dolby anyways.

There is another issue though, after a commercial it starts you back where you first started playing rather than where you were at during the ad. So have to ff after every ad.

Any updates concerning the Hopper+. If Dish has stopped installing Hopper+ for customers, I would expect more posts concerning this.
Plus no word concerning the loss of Google integration on the Hopper3.

I'm not sure but i doubt they're going to use Joey 4's without the Plus since it would be a UI mismatch

I'm sure this is just til they figure out how to make it a better experience without all the glitches

If they do a re-launch, I hope they have the biggest bugs swatted and, perhaps more importantly, the functional deficiencies fully addressed as the Hopper+ hasn't been a shining example of DISH design and implementation.
