The estimate is a percentage of space available on the internal hard drive. It is not quantified in hours (at least that I've seen). Seems to be identical with the 922 in that regard (and many others for that matter...in a GOOD way though!)

Yep. Don't do this. Don't even consider it. It's not like diplexing into a sat line. This WILL f**k your system up.
Is the phone jack on the hopper not operational yet, when I run the connection test it showes Broadband ok but phone test gives error
but I have hooked a phone to the cable going in the hopper and it has a dial tone.

Fast forward a period of X where the hopper interconnection is working. Will Hopper 2 be able to use an available tuner on Hopper 1 and vice versa if all local tuners are currently in use?

Yep. The system will act as one big DVR with 6 tuners, instead of 2 seperate ones.

I wasn't sure if the hoppers would treat the collection as a pool of tuners. Good to know. Can't wait for that to be activated so my wife has enough tuners

With present software, will one Hopper Internet Connector provide Internet connections for two Hoppers and four Joeys?

Yes, that will work fine. gtal98 did an install like that.

Nope. One HIC will give both Hoppers and all Joeys a broadband connection. gtal98 did an install like that and it worked fine.

There is a 100% probability that 50% of the posts quoted above are inaccurate
I don't need an HIC, I have an 8-port switch in the closet where the hoppers are jumping into place. Is it "one and only one" Hopper that gets an internet connection or can both be connected as a redundancy measure?

The 1st Hopper will not give an internet connection to the 2nd one until full integration is enabled. So you will need to connect ethernet to both for now.

As per Scott:

KAB/Isaac:
The problem is that there's conflicting information between both yourself and isaac, unless the rules are differnt when you're using an HIC versus a switch directly into an existing TP configuration.

My Hopper shows 4% used on internal hd, I have 2 1/2 hours of HD recorded, also, somewhere I saw that there was 500gb on the drive, but this might have been a reading from one of my ehds.
