    I really don't know if this will work, but would be interested in hearing your results. I suppose you would be using your phone as a "Hot Spot", which would look just like another WIFI access point to the Hopper. But keep in mind if it does work and you plan to stream programs via Sling, you...

    Strange, very strange. I guess inconsistency can be rather consistent. :bang

    I don't understand it either. But check with folks you know. I'll bet only those pointing towards the east will see this issue. It you have an Over the Air tuner, tune to an SD sub-channel. The Format button may work as expected on those SD channels. But as soon as you tune to an SD channel...

    Is your dish aimed towards the Eastern satellites?
  5. Hopper System Support Forum
    You are not alone with that issue. I noticed this too. I'll bet you are tuned to the Eastern satellites. Folks looking towards the West won't see this and will think you're delusional. In fact, since they are located in Colorado, who knows if this issue can even be easily duplicated if...

    Thanks for the list. Nice work. I will check this out.

    I was not aware there was a shortcut to enable/disable CC ( Yellow-3-select-select). Is there a list of other shortcuts?

    I now see your dilemma. But this begs the question as to why you don't simply receive the Utica Locals via SAT if that's the actual DMA where you reside. Is the Utica market not provided by Dish? Or, is this simply a database error? If you're 15 miles away from the local Utica network...

    I don't get it. With the OTA adapter, you will have FOUR tuners available before and after Prime Time, which is when most local news shows usually run. You say you want to record two news outlets. Isn't one OTA and one SAT tuner sufficient to meet that requirement? How many other events do...

    So true, so true! :( Sometimes I think we ARE from different planets. Mine is still trying to grasp the 16 x 9 concept :nono2:

    Hey, Mod. Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience. ;)

    Check all COAX connections for signs of corrosion. I had a similar experience a long time ago and it was all caused by one sloppy connection. Start with those exposed to the elements.

    James, This may be off-topic but it is interesting. PBS has 4 channels in my (St. Louis) market. 009-01 is the main HD channel while the other three are SD alternatives. When I review your web site, all four channels have the same TSID. However, the EPG is only correct for 09-01. EPG shows...

    Thanks James, but that isn't what I wanted to hear :(

    Hmmm. I wonder if Dish is allowed to provide programming info in the Guide for an OTA channel that is blocked for satellite re-transmission due to the dispute. My 722k has OTA. So when the Satellite channel is replaced with a slate, I must wonder how that will affect the OTA version of that...

    How is your audio delivered? HDMI? TOSLINK? I find this is common with many digital sound systems that mute the audio when the link is momentarily broken as channels change. It usually does not occur when using analog audio but may be a fact of life when your Dolby Digital decoder is...

    While it's true that both run warm, neither runs so hot as to cause me any concern. Just don't keep either device in an tight, enclosed area. Also,do not place either device on top of say, a 400 watt home theater audio system that will generate plenty of its own heat. I heard that the Joey...

    On top of all that, the Hopper (and Joeys) will automatically record ALL Prime Time events with no need to set up timers. It will also fly past all commercials automatically if watched the following day. How do you beat that?
  19. Hopper System Support Forum
    I would like to see the feature of simultaneously recording the BIG 4 networks during other time periods when all four are broadcasting similar events. This would sure reduce the number of timers and tuners needed. Think the morning news shows (Today, GMA, etc.) as well at Leno, Letterman &...

    I have a boatload of locked channels and have not seen this occur. Does it happen every time?
