That's what has me looking like Charlie Brown, all my equipment (Hopper 1 and two original Joeys) are in excellent functioning order. Other than my old 211k and one old SD receiver I had, all my other equipment over the years gave me 1 to 1.5 years performance, tops. I'm in the if it isn't broke, don't fix it, group.Think Dish is listening ? What's sad is, many customers with original Joeys will call in with complaints about the performance and tech support will have them reboot the Joey to 'fix' it and when that doesn't work, they'll replace it with another Joey 1 with the assurance that it will really fix it.
