    Joey gets black screen, need to change channel or reboot hopper

    Hopper seemed to always work when I loaded I up. Then I started thinking about any changes and I may have found the culprit. I have a power conditioner with catv, satellite and antenna connections. I rewired my rack and believe that is when I connected the hopper through it. And maybe that is...

    I'm having his same issue. Posted a thread. It makes little sense what is causing it.

    Joey gets black screen, need to change channel or reboot hopper

    Been fighting with this ongoing problem. I have 2 joeys and for the last month every day I am restarting the hopper or changing channels while watching a show in order to get the picture back. Called dish, they said everything looks good with hardware. They said a technician can come check my...

    does that confirm 2016 increases of 5$?

    monthly rates

    haven't been keeping up, but did the dish 200 and all others for that matter go up $5? I ask because my bill jumped and that was one of the items I saw as contributing to the increase. Wasn't sure if thats the 2016 adjusted pricing or me not paying attention to a promotion I had.

    5.1 audio in netflix on hopper.

    Yeah, in the end, I have a nvidia shield on one TV, Ps3 on another and in the bedroom a joey for when I need it. Otherwise the joey buffers a lot and occasionally just stops and you need to restart netflix. It is a nice thought, but for now, whole house dvr is good enough...

    5.1 audio in netflix on hopper.

    Noticed the other day that all my netflix content on hopper was stereo only. Normal TV is set to 5.1. The same content on ps3 shows 5.1. Is this a limitation of the hopper or me simply doing something wrong?

    Preparing for hopper

    OK, I think that was mentioned now that I read it again. One thing I have noticed, exited netflix, no sound on TV till channel change. And once did it when changing TV input back to joey. Not sure why. Since joey has no Ethernet or phone it really makes me think about relocating coax to...

    OK, great. I was thinking more along the lines of Ethernet for netflix.

    Preparing for hopper

    And connecting Ethernet to joeys is bad and offers no benefit right?

    Preparing for hopper

    So enter my netflix data on the joeys and call it a day after also enabling ir on the hopper? I assume then too that caller ID will pass from the hopper to the joey since joey has no phone jack of it own

    Preparing for hopper

    OK, got installed today and a few strange things happened compared to what I expected. For starters, he said the joeys don't use Ethernet, only coax. Using Ethernet is bad and can take down my home network. He also said the wifi portion is a private wifi setup. Second, he said not to...

    Sweet. Looking forward to it. So I assume they will need to pull a new line from the satellite since the current one goes into a splitter and from there to all my boxes. Or can they just extend it with the bullet connector like before. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Hmm, I think all mine is pre 2008, so I guess the hopper stays in the basement and joeys everywhere else.

    Is 3ghz like rg6? Or something special and different?

    Preparing for hopper

    Once installed, can I swap a hopper with joey? Like if I want the hopper in a different room instead.

    Preparing for hopper

    Is it best to put the hopper in the location most used and the joeys in secondary? Till now my 722 was in the basement, but with netflix etc, this might get more use in the family room. Or does it not matter so much?

    Preparing for hopper

    Next week I am going from a 722 and 2 211 boxes to hopper and Joey setup. The lady told me it can be 2-4 hours, so I was curious if this is accurate, but more importantly, I wanted to gather information about what I need to get ready. Is it as simple as plugging the new boxes in or is it much...

    OK, thanks for all the feedback. The protection plan detail being the most useful, I didn't know I could just add it when needed. Now I do. I also learned that I am paying outlet fees and not rental, so I come to accept it. As for the end result, dropped to 200, dropped movie pack and...

    I wasn't sure if you can add personal accounts to it, so I called it non dish vs going through dish

    I know I always associated the fee as a lease, so now I know. As for insurance, I thought you couldn't just add it and get service, but if that's true, I'll be dropping 30$ from my bill. As for phone stuff, att is different from Verizon and I didn't know. If you own the phone at...

    Sure, but take care of the equipment and it lasts beyond 2 years. Or, if you buy it used or on sale, you pay way less than the 2 year plan you have. Gs6 can be had new for 450 is I think is the lowest I've seen, go to Verizon and it's still 700. My ps3 should be 100% free, or maybe 1$...
