I have some suggestions for Hopper improvements. Make no mistake, I am loving my Hopper 3, but do come across things that would make it even better.
1. A setting to allow choosing of the opening page. I always go immediately to my DVR and only occasionally use the Homepage, it would be nice to have a setting to make the DVR the default.
2. It would be great to be able to access Amazon Prime Video as easily as Netflix. A menu item maybe?
3. When setting up a timer, I would love to be able to specify a folder to record to. I would never have to see my daughter's junk in my programs. :-)
4. I would love to be able to export my timers to my USB disk. When I upgraded from Hopper 2 to 3, I did back up all my times but lost them anyway. The ability to export them then import to a new DVR would awesome.
I hope some of these ideas prove useful.
I don't know about the other suggestions but for #3 you can specify a folder to record to. The way I do it is I select a program in the Guide and tell it to record. A little red dot tells me that it is set to record. If I select it again it brings up a list of options, one of which is to edit the timer. At the bottom of the edit list is an option to select a folder for the recording.

It would be nice to set a folder as a "default" for the Hopper or a Joey. I have them setup on each Joey, but simply starting a recording never goes to a folder. Future recording and series can be done with a timer edit, but why do we always have to go through the extra steps?
