Joey remote distance?

[Scherrman]

Was curious how many people here have a Joey mirrored to another TV and if the remote works very well or not. We keep running into mirrored TVs off the Joey not having the remotes work well. I can't get a very good response from Dish. I've heard from other retailers that the Hopper remote has a longer distance than the Joey remotes. I honestly don't know how to fix the problem as of now.

UHF Pro is up to 200 feet, but that would be ideal conditions. Since the Joey has the antenna in the unit itself, there's no way to adjust it other than moving the whole unit.

That was one thing no one seemed to be clear on, if the Joey had internal antenna or not. So basically the only options to get the remote to work better is to mirror a Joey that is closer or mirror off the Hopper which you could possibly extend the antenna on.

What really sucks about mirroring this system is that there needs to be two cables to that location since it can no longer be diplexed.

I have managed to get he Joey to work from a mirrored TV no further then 30 feet. The more doors, walls, etc. seems to diminish the signal.

We have had problems with every mirrored install we've done for a customer. I have a TV mirrored off of my Hopper in the basement and my bedroom TV is on the second story and it will work but the remote is very spotty. It will only work if I point the remote a certain way. I love the Hopper but the installation portion of it is a pain.

I have both the joey and hoper next to each other, mirror to bedroom, and sd to the other TV, the new remote works great, the old remote for the 922 would barely work in the next room. The Joey remote works everywhere , even outside at my grill, yes I have a tv there.
