Hi DVRexpander, thanks for the response. I appreciate your perspective but I think you are being overly harsh. First off, I have been a satellite customer for around 15 years and had multiple installs from DirecTV and Dish, and cabling to the TVs was always included with installation. This...

We moved recently and brought our Dish service (1 Hopper / 1 Joey) with us. I had to work the day of the installation so I was not home when it happened, and for some reason the installer was not able to cable the Joey to the Hopper so he connected them over WiFi. The signal and delay are...

I turned it on, and think it is a very cool feature. 90% of the shows my wife and I watch are covered by PTAT anyway, so it offers a couple of conveniences - no worries about timer conflicts, no issues with the last scene of "The Office" ending up at the beginning of the recording of "Parks and...

We currently have AT&T Uverse internet, but service and equipment haven't been great. When my AT&T promo pricing expires, the only other ISP option in our area is Comcast. Although overpriced, Comcast's broadband service blows the doors off of Uverse. Hopper/Joey use the coax cable wiring to...

No reboot was needed. I just needed to navigate to the EHD recordings the right way, by choosing "External Device 1" as the source from the DVR screen. This works from either the Hopper or the Joey. All is now well again, thanks for your help.

Thanks ICBM99 - I will try when I get home and see if I can access the EHD recordings that way. Playing around some more last night and this morning I found that the Joey will play recordings directly from the EHD, but Hopper will not. If you try from the Hopper nothing happens, and when you...

My Hopper was installed this morning, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to view programs off my EHD. I even called Dish and asked Tech Support, but they told me I couldn't view directly from EHD. He nicely walked me through how to copy programs from EHD to Hopper, and I...

I'm interested in upgrading from my current 722 to a 1 Hopper / 1 Joey system. Are we still starting the communication with the DIRT team through this forum? Please let me know how to get the ball rolling. Thanks! Brandon

Glad to hear your feedback. I have been on the fence about trading up to a 1H/1J setup from my 722 in dual mode, but dealing with tuner conflicts this week has made me regret not jumping sooner.

Good question - will a receiver reboot if there is an active timer recording when the reboot is scheduled? Or will it defer? I have recorded some midnight and 1 a.m. showings in the past and never run into a problem - at least not that I can remember.

I agree any charges should be upfront and one-time. Monthly fees are normally charged if there are third-party licensing fees being passed through to the end user. This may be the case with the Revues, since it involves intellectual property from multiple sources (Android OS from Google...

I like a lot of what I saw here, and would definitely take one for each of my 2 TVs. Knowing that concept products are crammed full of features, not all which make it to market, I hope that when this remote comes to market - and I think it will, since it fills a void with H/J due to the lack of...
