I only had Watch and Delete before I started watching and now have Resume, Start Over, and Delete. An event already recorded, but without its own timer, so it's in PTAT.

So, I'm looking at this "Must See TV An All-star Tribute" and there is no save button. That's what confused me.

So, I am new to the Hopper world. I was just looking through the PTAT shows to see what I might want to save. I've saved a lot of series. But I can't figure out how to save a one-off show--not a series (like the Grammys, for example). Can someone tell me how to do that?

My wife loves it and has gotten used to it quickly. My daughter doesn't much care, I don't think. We came from DirecTV and a Genie, and this is so much better.

Thanks for the replies. I turned off the "Smart Prepare for Mobile" and will see if it makes any difference in the next few days and will await word if there is anything else to try.

Whenever I select a recording to watch, the display shows either 0 minutes remaining or 2 minutes remaining. I always have to select to “start over” to watch from the beginning. I would expect that if I haven’t watched a particular recorded show, “resume” wouldn’t be an option, and it would...

I just switched from DirecTV. I am sure I'm not that discerning about the picture quality difference. I can't tell any difference, except that I've had far fewer issues with pixelation than I was having with DirecTV (which has more to do with my particular installation, I'm sure). What I amazed...

We want to hear how about your ordering experience! My ordering experience was really unpleasant. Since I have terribly low expectations of reps for big companies anyway, I wasn’t surprised. I had to place my order five times until they got it right and it went through. At least twice it was...

My install went fine today. It was the tech's first Hopper 3. The cable already run through the house for DirecTV worked fine, so he only had to run new cable from the dish (which mounted on the same pole) to the swtiches and then one to where the Hopper is. It's a much cleaner setup than the...

Thanks all. I had them redo the order, and it finally appears to be right. They're coming this afternoon to install. I hope it will all go smoothly. I post again with a report this evening.

Awesome. I didn't know they did orders for new service. Thanks!

Why in the world would an agent be unwilling to include a 4K Joey with my order for brand-new service with a Hopper 3? I wanted three 4K Joeys, but they said each has a one-time $50 fee, so I opted for one of them. But the agent said the system would not let her put a 4K Joey on an order with a...

Yeah, I can't see a pattern to it, but it's messed up a bunch of series. I'm glad, at least, I'm not the only person experiencing it. Not a big deal I guess, but it's a bit annoying.

Has anyone else seen this? The season and episode numbers have not been showing up on new recordings for the last couple of weeks. Any ideas?

Exactly. I used that code, and it wouldn't turn on and off the television reliably--the timing or something didn't work. I'm glad I tried the RC71. And yes, it's not one of the best TVs. I got it for a guest room and am happy with it.

I actually couldn't get the included (can't remember what model) remote to work with my new HR24 and RCA television. It wouldn't properly turn on and off the TV. So I set up the RC71 from my Genie, and it works perfectly, powering on and off the TV as expected and controlling the HR24 just fine.

If I order this all from DirecTV, will they install the filter, or will I have to do this all myself? If I do call DirecTV, what do I need to tell them to get this right the first time? Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for the reply. I verified that I do, indeed, have a SWM 16. So, if I don't want any DVR capabilities in the guest room, I can just install an H24/25? Can I split a cable off another receiver close by to wire it, or will I have to run a cable all the way from the SWM?

Greetings, I want to put a television in our guest room, and I don't want the receiver to have access to the whole-home DVR. I just want it to offer viewing. How do I accomplish this? Do I need a particular type of receiver? Are there certain settings or connections? I currently have an HR44...

I got my new HR44 installed the other day. When the tech called, I asked him if he had 44s. He said that's all he carries; he refuses to carry the 34 on his truck any more. He also said that if he goes to service a client who has a 34, he just replaces it and assures them that they will have to...

Yeah, I would want to know exactly what all I'm committing to, though. Would I really be able to sit and watch football all Sunday afternoon/evening without nagging? There are all those unspoken "commitments" once you move in together. Is TV really worth it? :p

Hehe. No, I just meant that I recall reading that some have gotten even greater monthly discounts than I got. I didn't feel the need to ask for any more. I'm happy.

I just finished my first 2-year agreement with DirecTV. I called to tell them I was considering cancelling because if I switch to Dish I would receive all kinds of discounts as well as better equipment than what I currently have. The very nice rep. initially offered me a Genie for $99. I said...

Thank you for this. That's the guidance I was looking for. I will hope the installer actually calls to confirm on Wednesday and will confirm he/she has the HR44. I appreciate the help.

So, I just ordered an upgrade to a Genie. They, of course, wouldn't permit specifying an HR44. I would assume that it is more likely I will receive the HR44 vs. the HR34 at this point. But if they try to install an HR34, I wonder if I should refuse the installation. What happens?
