    DISH Hopper Wireless Keyboard / Remote / Social Networking Concept Video

    I would definitely purchase these remotes for my Hopper and Joeys provided that it was a one time purchase and no additional monthly fee was required. The switch to the Hopper/Joey receivers is already costing me an additional $18/mo over my old ViP-722k hardware.

    starting to get Error Code 05 and 04 alot now

    It looks like I am experiencing this problem as well. I transferred all of my recordings from my 722k to an EHD before the Hopper install, then transferred everything back to the Hopper. I cannot view any of the recordings that were transferred from the EHD. When we try to playback any of...

    DouNodes are a doozy!

    There should be a ground write connected to both sides of the DuoNode. One side goes up to the dish, the other to the ground. You only need to disconnect the side that is going to the ground. I just checked my DuoNode and noticed that the installer left it disconnected. I know he tested it...

    DouNodes are a doozy!

    Did you try lifting the ground wire off the DuoNode yet? I had exactly the same issue. All of the LNBs checked out fine, the signal strength was good on the meter, but after connecting to the DuoNode, one of my Hoppers would not complete a download. When checking the cables at the receiver...

    Refusing 2nd Joey for a 2H/1J configuration?

    He would only be chaged $100/per Hopper for a total of $200, there is no cost for the Joey. That's what I paid.

    I noticed it says Caller ID in menu

    I also have an Ooma system and the Caller ID from the Hopper is working great.

    Refusing 2nd Joey for a 2H/1J configuration?

    That's exactly what they had to do when my 2 Hopper / 1 Joey was installed. In my case, I ordered the 2H/1J installation via online chat. When the installer arrived, his work order said 1 Hopper and 2 Joeys. He had to call into a Dish CSR and took them about 25 minutes to figure out how to...

    DouNodes are a doozy!

    This is going to sound really weird, but try disconnecting the ground wire from the DuoNode as a test (the one between the ground and the node). We had a very similar issue with my installation. The signal strength was taking a severe hit when the dish was connected to the grounded DuoNode...

    Hopper Causing internet connection issues with router?

    It sure sounds like there is an IP address conflict between your Hopper and another device on your network. Check your Hopper's IP address, then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the hopper and try to ping that IP address from a computer. If you get a response with the Hopper disconnected...

    Hopper Installation Hassle

    I had all sorts of fun with my 2 Hopper / 1 Joey installation today. The installer arrived at 7:55am and just finished some 6 hours and 40 minutes later. It stated off badly as his work order was written up as a 1 Hopper / 2 Joey installation. When he called into Dish to have the order...

    A tuner not available for use...when it should be

    The Hopper continues to "run" even when its outputs are turned off. Turning off the Hopper will allow the tuner that was in use to be availble to the Joeys.

    Official 622 L4.01 Discussion Thread

    I wish they would display the HD label next to local OTA channels as well. This would be most helpful in the DVR recordings list, so we could determine where all of the hard drive space has gone.

    622 L4.01 To Spool on Thursday! (Not sure WHICH thursday though)

    It would be nice if the HD label was present in the channel guide and elsewhere for OTA channels. The label is most helpful in the DVR recordings list so we can determine what programs are taking up all of the space. But, OTA HD recordings don't get the HD label.
