    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    I got the remote linked so she can use the remote she is used to but decided not to restore the timers. I have already set up her top 20 so figured it was better to just leave things as they are. She seems fine with what she has so why rock the boat.

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Great news. Not only can I get her timer back for her but she can use the remote she is familiar with. I will set it up for when I get home tonight.

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Yes, I kept all the old remotes and OTA tuners. Will the old remotes talk to the new system to transfer the settings? The installer said that they would not work due to different command protocols and software interface.

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Just a quick follow up. Installer came Saturday and installed the H3 and two 2.0 Joey's. The H3 is nice and fast and the new interface is fairly easy to get used to. While not as fast as the H3, the new Joey's are significantly faster than the old ones and do just what we need them to. The only...

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Correct, just now I only have one Hopper so I lose the ability to watch two different OTA channels at a time. However, the obvious solution is to just move the antenna connection from the Hopper that is going away to the TV itself and just watch my HD locals through it's tuner. Amazing how the...

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Great, you just made my day. One channel at a time I can deal with. No HD locals would be harder to handle.

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    So, my existing USB adapters will not work with the H3?

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    Well, I am set up to get a H3 and two 2.0 Joey's Saturday. I think this will fix the issue with slow response time but I just thought of another question. I currently have a OTA antenna feeding both my HWS boxes. With the new setup I will just have one feed to the H3. Does this mean I will only...

    Replacing a Joey 1.0

    I currently have 2 HWS and 2 Joey 1.0 receivers (planning on dropping one Joey). The Joey I am keeping is so slow that it is basically unusable. From reading the Forums, it seems like I have several possible solutions. 1. Request a replacement Joey and hope I get a 2.0 and that it helps. 2...

    Call for tech or do it myself?

    The good news is that using the hammer suggestion and my trusty JigSaw, I was able to get the cable back underground with no issues. As a FYI, I complained to Dish after the original install as the installer never put the cable more than an inch below ground and even less where he went over the...

    DRCars, Great idea. Much better control of a hammer than something bigger. I think I will run a hose over it for a bit before I start also.

    Call for tech or do it myself?

    I was not as concerned about my landscape (bare packed dirt and tree roots) as cutting the lines while trying to fix them. If it wasn't in an area that the mower crosses, I would not even bother. I will break out the shovel and hatchet this weekend and see if I can manage not to cut the cables...

    Call for tech or do it myself?

    My cables from the dish to the house are being pushed out of the ground by roots and are in danger of being cut by my mower. There are two spots with about a foot of wire exposed in each place. Should I try burying them myself and run the risk of cutting then (hard packed dirt and lots of roots)...

    Isolated Hopper

    One of the reasons I monitor this and other tech forums. Great information from great people for a great price.

    Isolated Hopper

    Had a little time this weekend so I removed the splitter and put each Joey on its own Client Port. Reset the Hopper I want them to connect to and everything is working as it should. Had both Hoppers streaming this weekend also and there was a marked improvement in the quality on both units. I...

    Isolated Hopper

    It was but I just put in a false SSID and password. It still tried to connect but when it failed it went over to MOCA like it should. I am hoping that since the originating network connection is hardwired now it might solve some of my buffering issues.

    Isolated Hopper

    I will try it at some point but with things now working I am a bit reluctant to switch things out and possible mess things up again. It sounds like a good project ofr a day my wife it out of town so if I do mess things up I have time to fix them before she misses out on any of her shows.

    Isolated Hopper

    That is how it was set up in the beginning. Things got changed when I lost the ability to see both Hoppers via Dish Anywhere. The solution we (Dish Broadband Support and I) came up with was to connect both Hoppers to the network. Unfortunately, that started all the other issues. Tired of...

    Isolated Hopper

    Yes, they are all terminated. Just found another issue, I can no longer access Hopper 2 (the isolated one) remotely using Dish Anywhere. Seems like the isolator is not the solution I was looking for. So, How can I get my setup to work like I want? What I would like is for Hopper 1 to be...

    It is on the stand alone Hopper.

    Isolated Hopper

    One small issue, Hopper 1 and my 2 Joeys are now showing weak MOCA. It is caused by the isolater as I go back to a good status when I remove it. Is this a known iuuse when using a isolater? Should I worry or just wait and see if it causes issues? Everything seems to work fine so I am more...

    Isolated Hopper

    Tech finished up in about 20 minutes. He did not want to install an isolater at first claiming they have known issues. He tried installing a HIC at Hopper 2 but, of course, that did not fix anything. At that point he got a isolater from his truck, installed it at Hopper 2 and everything works...

    Makes sense but I will check and be sure. Thanks,

    Isolated Hopper

    Great, that is what I am trying to achieve. Sounds like it "should" be an easy fix.
