Every time I switch locals we lose all our guide info for at least 3 days. Only on the locals. I have called DISH CS several times but they are no help. The lack of guide info will not let Prime Time record.It is a Hopper 3. Tried rehit,shut down for 1 hour etc. Only thing that seems to work is doing a reset but that loses all your settings and favorite channel lists.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not the suggestion you may want to hear, but here goes anyway!...Cancel DishTV and go back to your antenna "over the air" which is FREE! You're paying too much money for something that is nothing but constantly frustrating! Not to mention, the same old "stuff" over and over and over again. Why pay for all those stinking commercials when you can get them free "over the air"???? :S

Reboot and reset does not work on the Hopper3.Thanx for all the suggestions for cancelling DISH but you would have to convince my wife of that. :) And most of the areas we go have no or minimal OTA reception.

You could use the TV Guide app to tide you over until it’s working again. It can be set for local OTA channels as well as Dish channels.
