I'm not sure what my remote is, but I have to hit Select, then stop is in the sub menu that pops up. BTW....how would I find out what remote I have???
Press Menu twice to get to the Diagnostics screen. Your remote information will be on the right side of the screen.
The Hopper 3 sounds all great and wonderful and such but my household has a hopper and a HWS so that my wife and I can have our own recordings/timers without someone accidentally deleting the other's and also because if one of the harddrives fails, then we still have the other receiver which most of our shows are on Primetime Anytime so both receivers record them anyways. I sure hope they change things to where a household can have a Hopper 3 and a hopper or HWS hooked up together. Heck, it wouldn't be the end of the world if they couldn't see each other. I just wouldn't want to have to pay for two separate services/dishes. Maybe it will happen at some point soon!
I'm use to having the ability to have 2 dish anywhere devices playing at the same time but my 4k joey and hopper 3 ignores my sling player when I plug it in.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Haven't seen one in 2 weeks on any of my 3 boxes, it will do it after you turn it off. No more interruptions! Worth upgrading for that & the additional tuners.
Mine was around 3am which makes sense. My Wireless Joey is the last receiver on. I usually fall asleep with it on and it's suppose to shut off after 4 hours. It was close to 11pm when I went to sleep.
How do you check what software version you have and when it was last updated? I can't seem to find it on any of the screens. If you have the inactivity timer turned off will it still do the updates, as long as you have manually shut off both the H3 and Joey (green lights off).
Thanks, I have been on that screen plenty of times I just somehow missed the update version and date. Now how do I know if I have the most recent version? I have U304 as posted above, so that seems like the most recent for the H3? The 4K Joey has something different.
I have a Hopper 1 with many recording and would like to transfer them to the Hopper 3 when I upgrade soon. I have been told by Dish that this is currently not possible with an external drive due to a conflict with USB transfer compatibility issues between these two receivers. Is this really true??? It's hard to believe that they don't have a solution for all those people who want to upgrade and bring their recordings with them to the new receiver.
You can add an external USB hard drive to your Hopper 1. You can transfer those recordings that you would like to keep to that EHD. When you get your Hopper 3 you can plug that same EHD into the H3 and either watch those programs that you recorded directly from the EHD or you can transfer them to the new Hopper. I did exactly that.
Yes it will work, just have to download the drivers
