I am probably going to leave Dish because we lost Fox Sports Ohio. We have quite a few recordings on the DVR. Will Dish require me to return the Hopper which we received just over two years ago? If not, is there any way I can watch the recordings on the Hopper after my Dish service is cancelled?

The technician said he could have Dish send me a box to return the old Hopper after the transfers completed. But, he thought they were done so he took it with him. Oh well, I was able to move a bunch of our recordings to an external drive before he came so we still have some of them. Hopper 3...

I'm transferring a big folder that had about 150 recordings. Says it will take 923 minutes yet so I'm going to bed. :) Does anyone know if the technician would make the transfer for me with an Ethernet cable when he brings the new Hopper 3?

Will the recordings stay in folders on the hard drive?

My hard drive works. But, how do I select ALL recordings including the ones that are in folders?

I recently received the Dish upgrade and my Hopper and Joey started having problems; pausing while navigating menus, black screen, etc. I called and Dish will upgrade me to Hopper 3 for $100 and a wireless Joey for $25. They are scheduled to come Friday for the install. (She was going to charge...

I have my Hopper connected to a HDMI splitter. The splitter splits to one 50" newer TV and also to a wireless sender that is an older 30" TV. Until I hooked up the ZVOX sound box on Saturday, all was good. But, I think it was on PCM sound only. When I changed the Hopper to Dolby, everything...

Could I have a member of DIRT contact me? I'd like to know what the cost would be (up front and monthly) to replace my joey with a super joey. I currently have 1 Hopper (with my own external sling adapter) and 1 Joey.

If I have an N router but have other non-N clients (older PCs and laptop) would this slow the whole router to 802.11g and thus negate the benefit of N?

Can powerline adapters be plugged into a surge protector? I have been under the impression they will not work if plugged into a surge protector.

I received the Netgear WNDA3100v2 on Saturday and gave it a try. It "worked", kind of. It was VERY SLOW to respond. Part of the time, the picture was fine but occasionally the picture would become very pixellated that you couldn't watch at all. It also crashed my wireless router (maybe when I...

Good to hear of your success. I am (not so) patiently waiting the arrival of my Netgear WNDA3100 v2 adapter from ebay. Venting: I bought it Tuesday morning with estimated delivery Friday. When I paid, I requested the seller to ship that day if possible. According to the tracking number, he...

I pulled a USB wireless adapter from a PC and plugged it into the Joey. I got a message something like "This is not an active feature" 1008 (or 1003, I forget). Does this mean the adapter I used was not compatible or another problem?

Thanks for your help. I also found this thread that gives lots of help: http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/328414-Considering-Hopper-Can-Joey-be-mobile?highlight=setup+wiring

Would I just use a USB wi-fi adapter like I use on a computer?

I have read on this forum about people who are able to use their Joeys wirelessly. I believe I read that the Joey needs to be "connected" to the internet. How do I accomplish this? I have one Hopper (with an external Sling adapter) and one Joey. I have internet to the Hopper with a USB wi-fi...

Received response from DIRT.

DIRT member please PM me about upgrade. I'm considering adding a Joey. Wireless Joey if available.

I know this thread is REALLY old. But, in case someone is still subscribed: I am successful when I start a new Chrome window but not when I try in a new tab with multiple tabs already open.

Just found something interesting; I read on another post (from 2011 from a person with a 722k w/ Sling adapter) that he could get his to work by closing and reopening his browser. So, I tried a new window (I'm using Chrome) and it worked! I tend to keep a bunch of tabs open at all times in...

Would you say the Hopper w/Sling will not operate any better than my Sling Adapter connected to my Hopper?

Yep, exactly what I'm doing. I actually have a Sling Box connected to my Hopper but it has ALWAYS been flakey! Yesterday, it worked on my work computer then not at home and now it won't work on my work computer. (Error: "There was a problem connecting to your DVR. (Error 2)" I'm considering...

Can someone tell me the best place to purchase a Joey?

I also should have asked: If I lease the second Joey, I was told the upgrade would require a new 24 month commitment. Does this mean I am not allowed to turn off the second Joey or just that I must stay with Dish for 24 months? Can a leased Joey be turned off and on for no charge like the...

If I buy my own Joey (this would be Joey #2 on a 1 leased Hopper and 1 leased Joey system), is there any fee to turn Joey #2 off and on? When I call to have it turned on, does it happen immediately? Like, "hey, there's a game on that I want to watch on Joey #2, I'll call Dish and have it turned...
