Questions about The Hopper?

[Scott Greczkowski]

You can watch stuff from a DLNA server on the Hopper and all the Joeys.

Okay, now that's cool.

Will the 99 of us who answered "Can't wait" in the Hopper Poll be the first to get their Hoppers and Joeys installed?

forgive my ignorance here...but is that a windows 7 machine that or are you talking a true server? I have all of my DVD's saved on 2nd hard drive and can view them on my PS3, but would love to be able to share across all TV's in the house.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

You would need to run a DLNA server on a PC in your house such as PlayOn. Then you can watch stuff via DLNA.

I like watching TWIT.TV, ESPN3 and other online channels.

I think, based on the fact that it works on your PS3, that it should work on your Hopper just the same. Worth a shot, at least.

Its depends on what format your movies are ripped to. Most of mine are in .ISO format which the 922 does not play (and I would guess the Hopper does not play them either)

Have you tried mounting the ISO and extracting the files?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

You wouldn't do that on a DLNA server.

I can play those files as they are on my Boxee Box. Perfect HD copies of my Bluray collection.

That is what you say... not what DISH says. How can you have production software when there are no receivers? It's all beta until the hardware is released.

Because of internal rules of SW Dept, not because of talk between you and your informant.
It's common practice, telling for those who never been there ...

I think my informants would know since they run the SW Department.

It's STILL beta software.

I got a hint from BobaBird, something happened midnight ...

I beleive mine are ripped as avi files.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Still S200, no 201 yet.

....I like watching TWIT.TV, ESPN3 and other online channels.

How is it you have time to watch ANY TV?

 

[Smith P.]

Still S200, no 201 yet.

Something still not UPDATED (if you can see one personally, you could reboot it to execute ),what not related to other fact.

 

[lakebum431]

Dish receivers don't normally require a reboot to download targeted software, they just require being placed in standby.

 

[Smith P.]

Well, it should, but sometimes (I noticed for 922) it going better with a reboot. Clean start, you know ... like a Windows.
Remember, Linux based devices has mandatory reboot each 24 hrs ? Why ?
[Don't tell me dish propaganda, please.] Real issue ... Why ?

 

[fuzzy]

Scott you must have the Hopper & Joey setup. You are fast with certain answers
