Hopper Upgrades

Please reply by conversation.
Hello,

I'm currently out of contract and thinking about upgrading to the Hopper with Sling and a Joey. I have a leased VIP922 and VIP211K. My 922 just bite the dust. It keeps shutting down after 15 minutes of use; no lights on the front panel and there's a loud humming sound coming from the receiver. What are my options, pricing, etc? Please me PM me when you get a chance.

Thanks!
 
I am considering upgrading to the Hopper/Joey setup from our current setuo. We have 2 vip-722's and a plug in Sling running a total of 5 tv's. It appears that the current Hopper supports a total of 4 screens.

Questions:
1. Does anyone know if the Virtual Joey app will still have the 4 screen limit?
2. Should I wait till the Super Joey is released?
3. Can I transfer recorded shows from the 722 to the hopper via an external drive?

Thanks for any and all advice.

1. Im pretty sure VJ has a limit of one per account but I'm not certain.

2. Super Joey gives you two more tuners

3. Yes
 
Thanks, to clarify: is the total number of simultaneous screens 4 regardless of joey/virtual joey? will hopper + 3 joeys + vj = 5 screens or is there a hard 4 screen limit?

Not sure but I believe if you try to link any more than 4 joeys you get a pop up regarding a limit of 4. I would assume that would remain the same, but this is just my assumption.
 
Hi, I'm interested in upgrading my current 211k + 211 setup to a Hopper and changing my programming package. If a DIRT member could PM me I'd appreciate it! Thank you! :D
 
I am too. My wife has dropped her opposition as of last night.

Currently we have two leased 612s (one of which appears to be on it's last legs), and an owned 722. I actually think a single HwS would work for us, along with 3 Joeys. I'd like to make one of the Joeys' a Super Joey. Maybe I can get in on a SJ before formal release. :D To keep the same number of sat tuners, and get two OTA tuners, I'd have to go with two Hoppers, darn it. But I don't have two cables to any location (but one where the Hopper has to go), and I don't really want the added $5/mo anyhow. And I really really wish the SJ had bluetooth capability!

It was the eye of newt that put you over the [strike]edge[/strike] top!

Actually it was me explaining what I meant by "whole home". And our MBR 612 trying to give up the ghost ;) She now denies she ever told me she was opposed to the new Hopper GUI. :rolleyes: I'm currently thinking of keeping my owned 722 unactivated, just in case. It's residual value in 2014 is probably not much. Worth more to me as insurance against a Hopper failure.
 
You'll have to rewire to get the ViP722 to work, though. <<<WRONG. See below posts. Not "supposed" to work thru a node, but it does.


"...She now denies she ever..."

I swear it's in their genes!

I thought somebody here already plugged a dual tuner receiver into a node host port and it worked. Did I dream that? :(

No. You are correct. When I woke up this morning I remembered that and came here to correct my post. You beat me to it.
