    Although Lady In The Water was technically an apartment complex, it felt more like a motel to me.
  2. Hopper System Support Forum
    I have had every Hopper there is, not to mention most earlier Dish DVRs, and for the most part I find the Hopper 3 to be the best one yet. - Except . . . The way PTAT entries behave in a few situations seems to be different, and I think buggy, compared to Hopper, and I think even HWS under the...

    Well I never got any response here or from (shh... the other forum) even when I sent to multiple DIRT members. Then I messaged them on Facebook at Log In or Sign Up to View and got a response in 10 minutes, and had my install scheduled within half an hour. And yes, the system though I still...

    I don't think Rochester, NY is one of those weak areas, but I can't be sure. I tried sending a PM to a DIRT member, but there's been no response. Should I try another member?

    It sounds like I'm not the only one being told that the Hopper 3 is "not available in your area" and I'm hoping this is incorrect. I understand that the system sometimes has incorrect info about what sat slots are in use, and that will block the upgrade request in the system. I'm in Rochester...

    I did PM back-and-forth with a DIRT member, and we got as far as then submitting it to be worked on. I don't know if that will get us anywhere or not. I expect this is a "squeaky wheel" type of thing, so I imagine it would help for more people to report it.
  7. Hopper System Support Forum
    I agree that this happens from time to time, but it is not the issue here. The guide data clearly shows these to be the same episodes, but the Hopper won't pick up a matching, later showing of an automatically skipped showing. For me it seems to be happening on all timers, (I think,) where...

    Will do, thanks. If I get any useful info I'll post it back here.

    I tried a good ol' check switch, followed by power cord reset, followed by leaving it off for a while to let it download and such. No dice - Still having issues. How do we get some attention for this sort of bug? Is there a DIRT member who gets traction for such issues?
  10. Hopper System Support Forum
    Is it just me or is this a change? It used to be that if I had too many timers for new episodes that air in conflict, then the lowest priority ones would, as expected, get skipped at that timeslot, but then would be recorded at the next airing, even though they aren't technically "new" at that...

    I have seen that as well. It's always the first use of skip on playback of a recording after having finished watching some other recording. I don't know what combination of circumstances makes it happen, but I watch a variety of PTAT and non-PTAT, auto-hop and non-autohop recordings, and it...

    This may not exactly be a bug, but it's an unexpected aspect of a feature that's bothered me all along. I really hoped this would be "fixed" but it isn't yet. When using timers to auto-save PTAT shows, the folder assignments on those timers are not heeded. That can't be right! This really...

    Whoops, I spoke too soon. When I powered up this morning it looked good, but just now I looked again and it's back to "No Info . . ." on all my events, and three things recording that shouldn't be. I guess I'll try a front panel reset folowed by at least 20 minutes of standby time and I'll see...
  14. Hopper System Support Forum
    I am interested in the details, so I'll have to look for those posts, thanks! I mostly want to know what triggers a re-download so I can get it to do that if I see strange things like this. Anyway, here we are next day, and everything looks fine. Crisis over. :)
  15. Hopper System Support Forum
    Well, how 'bout that: After a front panel reset didn't seem to fix anything, leaving it on standby for 20 minutes fixed everything. Who'da thunk? As you said, I'm going to keep a close eye on it all weekend.
  16. Hopper System Support Forum
    Just talked with a 2nd level tech, (or whatever Dish calls it) and there aparently isn't anything as definitive as the check switch on older DVRs. She's got me leaving it in standby for 15 minutes. I do hear disk activity, so it's working on something . . .
  17. Hopper System Support Forum
    61.5-14 get about a 50, 72-21 is around 37 Through all of this the guide info has remained correct and complete. Where are the timers getting their (lack of) info if not from the guide?
  18. Hopper System Support Forum
    It turns out I have signal loss on 77, while 72 and 61.5 are maybe a bit low. Could that cause this? Now I've got to figure out if I just need a re-peak, or if a tree has grown too much.
  19. Hopper System Support Forum
    I just caught my Hopper recording when it shouldn't be. I checked the daily schedule and almost all of my future events show "No Info Available" on them! When I highlight each one, the detail is correct, but the end times are all way too late, completely hosing the list due to priority...
  20. Hopper System Support Forum
    If you tip over into the next show, (like into the padding,) then it shows the percentage of that next show. I know this because I discovered that if you skip back a little bit, you will see 99% or 100%. It would be really usefull if they changed this percentage to be relative to only the...
