Now that Dish has ceased their international services which used Anik F3 at 118.7 W, maybe it will be used for something else. Questions that come to mind: - that satellite was circular polarity, Ku FSS band. Is the polarity scheme in the "hardware" of the satellite or controlled by the uplink...

Interesting that 77, 118, and 129 were removed when those satellites were no longer in use, but 105, 121, and 148 are still in the software.

Can't say I've seen that behavior but it doesn't surprise me. I have seen the Hopper reboot sporadically if the OTA signal is weak, even if you're not viewing that weak channel currently but it was the last thing that the OTA tuned to, still running in background I guess.

(or more accurately, no longer being used by Dish) Hopper 3 went thru a check switch procedure this morning. When done I looked and 118 is no longer in the switch matrix.

The two SuperDish (but not with the original LNB cluster) in my back yard work pretty well for a few Ku FTA satellites.

I typically use zip-ties

There is no SW34. There is a DP34 which is three DishPro LNBFs to four DishPro compatible receivers. This is different than the DPH34 which is the same as the DPH42 but for only three inputs and four outputs and cascadable. To say what's compatible, we really need to know what type of...

Yes, and those incompatibilities just get worse with each new iteration.

Yes, there were always a few problems but now there are more. As long as I've had the H+, only the red button of the four colored buttons works, though the colored indicators are still there on the screen implying that the green and yellow buttons should work, but they don't. Also the record...

Nice additions. Unfortunately, looks like all the problems I reported on the previous few releases are still there. Plus a couple more. As of today, the Play and Pause buttons on my 40.0 remotes are no longer functional. Mrs. Pepper has told me this is the last straw for the Hopper Plus and I...

I watched. And I have only one question: who's filing a class-action lawsuit so I can get that 1.5 hours of my life back?

I concur with cyberham, get a motor. The only caveat there is trees and other obstacles. The main reason my backyard is now full of dish antennae pointed every which way is because of a bunch of trees that grew and filled in over the past few years, so unless I take out a loan and hire a tree...

Wally has an ethernet adapter so if that is available at the TV location you don't need Wi-Fi.

Oh are you one of the developers? Please find my list of bugs from recent releases and fix those too ;)

The clue is in the logo. Kangaroos hop, so you could call them a Hopper. A baby kangaroo is called a Joey. Related to Kangaroos, but slightly different, is the Wallaby which you could call a Wally. The Hopper hops too, over commercials. That was its defining feature back in the day. That's the...
