Super Joey Specs

[foghorn2]

Does the Super Joey have a FAN?

Aww, poor Super Joey. I'm already a fan, can't wait to get one. Perfect for our situation as we only have one Hopper and 3 tuners are not always enough.
I also have a Vip 211k on the third dish output so looks like I'll have to invest in a dpp44 switch, or will Dish throw that in if they install it?

So with the SJ coming out what are the odds Dish will put any more effort into integrating the 2 Hopper solution more?

Slim to none....

I haven't seen anything yet, but do you think it may be possible to include 1 Hopper, 1 Super Joey and 1 Wireless Joey?

Actually, I thought it was posted some weeks ago that by the end of the year we might see the ability to set a timer on the "other" Hopper added.

I haven't seen it yet either but I would think you could. The Wireless Joey is just another Joey in the setup so I don't see an issue.

Thanks for sharing Sherrman.

Dish needs to make it so only one single line needs to be run from the LNB not 3 to do two hoppers or a hopper and this thing. If Direct can figure out how to just use one line then so can Dish no matter what it needs.

Answered before. Two totally different systems, each with their own positives and negatives.

Limit is one Hopper, one SuperJoey and three wired or wireless Joeys, any mix. Six to eight TVs require two Hoppers and no Super Joeys.

I suspect we will see somebody try to buck the system.

It's almost a guarantee that someone on this forum will make it work.

I have 2 HWSs and 2 Joeys. I have 2 EHDs attached to each HWS. If I move to 1 HWS and 1 SJ and the 2 Joeys, how can I set up the EHDs ? I assume the USB port on the SJ is not for an EHD. I don't mind losing the 2nd HWS's internal memory. With all my EHDs storage is not a problem. Being able to see all tuners and the seeing the EHDs on all receivers is more interesting to us.

You can have all 4 EHDs on a single Hopper. You will need a powered USB hub. Your Joeys will have access to both as well as the Hopper....

And as you probably already know only 2 of the EHD's will be available from the pull down and can be used to play recordings. The other two can only be transferred to and from.

Can you transfer to/from the 4 EHDs at any receiver or only in room with powered hub?

Since it has a purple coax connector, I would assume it connects to the second host port of a dual node.

Don't know if this works or not as Dish just released a splitter looking device called "integrator" for the SuperJoey that connects to the existing Joey coax network and also to the dish's third LNB port and SuperJoey.

From the Hopper they're attached to. They're visible in the Menu/External Hard Drive section.

In my mind it seems like it should work like that as far as the wiring is concerned. However, my bet would be on a 2 year contract extension, unless you're looking to possibly purchase the SJ.

Nothing to support that opinion, but that would be my guess.

I would say that is a very good guess, and that's why I am waiting to upgrade to the SJ, among other reasons. I'm still on the contract extension from upgrading to the HWS last year.
