  1. Hopper System Support Forum
    Ok, This thread scared me a little bit, as the 4 EHD's I have, started with my original ViP622. I moved to a Hopper with no issues, and have just now moved to a H3. Haven't had to do anything to the EHD's, but was worried about having to restore from a backup, if the H3 wouldn't then work with...
  2. Hopper System Support Forum
    Had to talk to retention or something like that today. Restored Season 6 of GoT from EHD to Hopper, today, to get ready for season 7 tomorrow, and the system came to a crawl trying to go from one episode to the next, and decided it was time to pull the plug on Dish, as the family frustration...
  3. Hopper System Support Forum
    Wow, been a while since I have been on this site, and its looks like Hopper 2000 is, SCREWED in this new update. Response is beyond slow, but the EHD issue is putting me over the top. I can restore a movie back to the hopper, but not the way I want to do it. CSR' was very nice, but the...

    With ESPN 3D coming to an end soon, I think the public has spoken pretty clearly that in home 3D isn't something consumers are really interested in. Most high end TV's do have 3d built in to them, that's really because all TV makers buy from the same source and then modify the screen to them...

    Just got done ordering my Hopper and Joey. The Protection Plan that you have signed up for is $7.00 per month which includes free shipping on equipment replacement, and reduces the cost of in-home service from $95.00 to $15.00. If you cancel the Protection Plan within 120 days of adding, you...

    I guess the next thing Fox will want is for the FFWD button on all DVR's deactivated. Seriously, who here, doesn't just hit the skip forward button now, when they sit down to watch a recorded show? All Dish has done, is save me from having to push the FFWD button, several times to skip...

    Oh that's even funnier.

    I bet the company that makes the Dish's found a new supplier of the metal, started pressing out new ones and before anybody knew it, they were in black, as the new metal supplier puts it out in that color. Dish maker says for a fee, we can make them gray again, but in the BOM to make the Dishes...

    Trying to compare 3D's 4th or so attempt at trying to reach the mass's with Color TV, Internet, HDTV and Internet is a pretty big reach. Little younger than you, as Color TV has always been around for me. Granted I still remember shows that said NOW in color. Never heard anybody growing up...

    Even movies like Avatar that weren't as dark as HP7-2, the colors were muted, and its just not worth the hassles. I watch HD for the clarity and colors. 3D has a long way to to before its really primetime. Not bagging on those that want it, but totally understand why there is really very...

    I wouldn't even think about talking or covering how to hack and decrypt the DishArc folder. Just saying you can copy it, to a NFS partition, and back it up. You can then restore the folder back to a replacement EHD if needed. I have done this several times as we upgrade our individual EHD's...

    That's not right. If you have a Unix box of any type or NFS extentions for your Windows computer you can backup the DishArc folder on the EHD, and create a backup, that you can restore to a new EHD if one fails. Do a search on DishArc, lots of help on how to do this, but its pretty simple.

    After watching Harry Potter in 3D and in 2D, personally I am not even interested in 3D. The idea of sitting around watching a movie for hours wearing those silly glasses, just to get more depth, with less color vibrance, is something that doesn't interest me at all. Just like with Avatar...

    External HD's work on all ViP 612/622/722/922 on you account. I have four EHD's that work and move between my ViP 722 and 722k. Now if you have a 211 that you have turned into a DVR with a EHD, that holds not only your shows, but the software to make it a DVR. That EHD will not work on a Real...

    Could always find a way to ask, Bruce and Brandon Lee as well.

    You need to find a better site:lol:. ESPN had a OFFICIAL 5.47 for day 1 first round, and add in the NFL Networks rating of .95 the NFL draft. Day one had a high of 6.42. Still don't even get your entire point:nono:, you have to go deep into the NBA playoffs, and having nothing to do with the...

    If your talking about the NBA final games, yes those beat the draft, and you would hope that the actual Finals could beat out a player Draft. Granted its still pretty sad that outside of the NBA finals the NFL draft, pretty much won the day, and over all. 3 Days of the NFL Draft(can't believe...

    So After this court ruling, brought by the FCC against Dish, As of Dec. 1 2006, Dish will be barred from providing distant channels, even to customers who would have been eligible. When did the FCC change the restrictions on Dish, back to were there were no restrictions, and Dish could do...

    NBA allowing half the league to make the playoff's is there fault. The fact that a Draft, can out preform head to head a Major Sports playoff's, says alot about both of them.

    Very nice job of sticking to the World series vs the NBA finals, and ignoring the baseball and basketball playoff/extra season. World Series trailed behind the NBA finals, both of which trailed behind World Cup championship game last year. Baseball is a distant 3rd or 4th in top games in the...
