S511 this morning on my hopper 3 DVR

Unfortunately you cannot make it smaller to go back to the size it was before this unwanted update (they are too big now at the new small size.

I posted about what a bad idea this was on the tech portal. Still waiting to see who or if it gets replies. The size doesn't bother me, but no text labels on sporting events, like posted above, is a bad thing

I'm not sure what you mean. I expanded the size and then undid it...back to five across.

Before the update, it was six across.

Both my H1’s were updated to U122. Skip forward, skip back, fast forward, fast back are all screwed up! Screen says 30 seconds on skip forward but it’s more like 10 seconds. Now takes 3 presses of skip forward to skip over a 30 second commercial instead of one press. Try to go back and it skips FORWARD some more! Totally useless. Pressing stop at the end of viewing a show doesn’t work. This is all while viewing a show stored on the second H1 from the first H1. Fast forward barely advances despite being at 300x.

I'm having this trouble on my HWS (new s/w with the new icons). The trick play is a mess. Note that I only see the problem when playing a recording from my "other" HWS. I haven't seen the problem playing local recordings. Tried a reboot of both boxes. No help.

This is a critical function for a 2 box household.

The HWS has been a disaster since "Carbon". I've been avoiding the "upgrade" from 2x HWS to 1x H3 due to the annoyance of having to lose about 150 timers. This one will throw me over the edge.

Sigh

Should probably start a new thread since this is a H3 thread.

I am really happy that the nightly update time is user configurable. That has been a problem for me for a long time. Dish finally listened to us!

Now if we could only get Dish to bring back x4 fast forward.

Before they worry about new features, perhaps they should fix all of the crap they've broken over the last year.

Anyone tried OTA recordings on this version?

 

[navychop]

AMEN!

 

[KaptainRandom]

I got the H3 update today.
Strictly anecdotal here.
Much less or much better video compression.
Todays picture is remarkably better than yesterdays.
Richer vibrant colors and more detail during movement in scenes.

Someone snuck into my house and performed professional calibrations on all the sets in my house.

U511 — Alternative Dish Press Release….

In recognition of decreasing literacy, Dish has begun future-proofing the Hopper 3 by eliminating the space wasting DVR recording titles. Our next bold Hooper 3 enhancement will be to help viewers further avoid reading by replacing subtitles with emoji.

I like the new look.

What's emoji ?

Please type slowly so I can keep up.

Not on mine. Which Hopper do you have?

 

[GJB56]

I hate the missing titles on the recordings with version U511. I even called tech support thinking it was a bug. The tech said the only recourse is if enough people complain they "might" change it back.

I think that it is fair to assume that this "purchase" is lost if/when you cancel Dish service.

According to the Original post, you'll still have DA access, but I'm still wondering how if you don't have a DA receiver......

Can people with VIP DVRs watch on-demand shows through DA?

Because the purchased films are downloaded each time you watch them and don't reside on a receiver. So, they are held on a server for you to use anytime time you wish.
