Select channels in advance

[RetiredSpook]

Why can't I choose the channels I want to watch in advance. When I used the "other" provider, I set my viewing up for the evening and when one show was over, it took me to the next one I chose. This should be a simple software change. The "other" guys can do it, why can't the Hopper 3 do it?

Sounds like you’re talking about autotune... you can do that on Dish as well.

How do I do that?

What receiver do you have?

Hopper 3

Create a recording timer for each thing you want to set up, and then go to the timers list, edit timer, change from DVR to Autotune

Many thanks for your help. I find it odd that instructions for this is not found on anything I have on the Hopper 3. I just got Dish, so I am off to a good start. I hope more people see this and it helps them.
