Upcoming Hopper System Install

[Chris04626]

I am having a 2 hopper 4 joey system installed on the 20th. IS there anything i need to know? Can the 2 hoopers see each other? IS there a certain way i should have the hoopers located?

Right now i have 2 dual tuners one in living room(main tv watching area) this also runs master bedroom



the other receiver is in a kids bed room and then has another kids bed room on that.

The hooper system is going to be Living Room, Master BEd room, 3 kids rooms and a room in the basement.

Any suggestions?

It does not matter unless you have tv's that you may want to use PIP feature on as the Hopper can Pip, Joeys cannot. Also, Hopper can view programing recorded on the other, but not on live tuners as of yet.

i do not use PIP at all

how exactly does the recording work. IF i have 3-4 shows i need to record at the same time, can it record 3-4 shows without messing up what everyone else may be watching?

if you spread it out correctly among the family members, it should be ok. I'm guessing the kids will have their joeys linked to their specific hopper so that they can share those three tuners.

3 tuners per hopper. Not sure if your household has use for PTAT or not, but that could help with conflicts depending on what you watch.

what is PTAT? The kids generally do not record anything.

Most of the recording will be done from the Living room.

With PTAT enabled the Hopper will record the 4 networks, ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC HD channels, each evening during prime time all on one tuner, automatically. You have the option to disable this.
