Yes, it's rg6 straight from the dish to the Hopper. It isn't even a very long run as the Dish is mounted outon the side of the house on the same wall the Hopper is in front of.

report it via private message to a DIRT member anyways. If they are software bugs, that's the only way they'll get fixed as they'll forward your issue to engineering.
interesting choice to have no official support forum, just this back channelwhere can I find wiring diagramsmy dish is mounted on a 4" pipe that was for an old 10' curtis mathis dish, I have 3 cables running to individual locations, the device for integration between H&J is within 2' of the dish, would there be other options?customer support is doing the shuffle from tech to tech routine, making me start from scratch every time, claiming no knowledge of previous calls
Dish has an official support forum, in addition to offering support on SatelliteGuys, DBSTalk, etc...

I also don't think it is a signal issue. The problem I have with mine, is it happens only once during a show and its always at the very end of the show. A 1 or 2 second audio drop/ picture freeze. Just checked both hoppers, same audio drop/picture freeze at same time on BBCA at the end of the show.Mine happens outside of PTAT also. I will PM DIRT.
I have the same issue - tuner 2 says watching channel Z (not) and I have PTAT disabled. Also picture in picture off. This seems to be a "feature" which ties up a tuner. ;-(
I'm not sure if this is tied to the roll out of S208 or not, but I just noticed that all my seek and record timers have disappeared from my timers list. All Guide created timers still exist and are firing properly.
I hope I still have the list of timers from my 722 so that I can recreate those timers.

I just realized, they are saved on the remote control. Does anyone know how to restore timers from the remote?
dangue,
When you do the restore, would you please check on a bug fix? On S207, after doing a restore, your fav list names default back to List1, 2, etc. Please see if yours stay as you originally named them or if you lose the names.
Thanks

Thanks. I knew it was simple. I had just never done it before. Strangely enough, the restore (from settings a week ago) did not restore my timers. Everything is exactly the way it was this morning (including the additional timers I created last night).

Sorry, I couldn't test this. I rarely watch live tv, so I am rarely ever scrolling through the guide and have never bothered to create a custom guide list.
- No ability to change the nightly update (Note: 722 could)
- Should have a "subscribe to save" option in PTAT
- The "My Folders" section should work as the "Folders by Title" does (i.e. group multiple episodes, show pictures without program information, etc)
- When something is recording, PTAT, or otherwise, and the user switches to that channel, it should switch to what is currently recording, and not take up a separate tuner
- Ability to change the text size, as is the case with the cursor option, for users with impaired vision
- No ability to set a code on a program before it is deleted, to avoid the potential of deleting a program by accident (note: 722 could)
- Should have the option to show many SD & HD hours are left on the HDD, addition to the size information

Two Bugs:
2.07 BUG: When using skip back or skip ahead or fast forward/rewind, audio sometimes drops out. If I pause and play again or skip back once, it comes back normally.
2.08 BUG (wasn't there with 2.07): Playback on both Hopper or Joey (also updated) of recorded programs sometimes starts on black screen for 3-10 seconds, then plays normally. Shows aren't cut off or started late, just preceded with blank screen for varying amounts of time. I'm wondering if that has to do with the update to the partition from 500 GB to 1Tb?
Apologies if these have been reported, haven't read the entire thread.

"Subscribe to save" is already there, just set a timer for the program and don't "unskip" it and it will save the PTAT recording(s) to "My Recordings".
When you switch to a channel, by default it uses a tuner if available, to keep you independent of other TV's tuner usage. You can always join another tuner with the "red" button. With either default, someone isn't going to like it. Tuner use courtesy is now necessary for families because of the huge increase in flexibility.
If you are talking about the ability to save a series from PTAT, that is supposed to be in the S208/S209 release currently being distibuted.
Yeah, I just seen that in the update thread.
Cool.
Personally, I am still on S207, but I can wait.
Otherwise, "My Folders" section working as "Folders by Title" does, followed by password protected programs, are my two most wanted features.
