After everything is working/setup/activated, certain joeys may not be paired with the hopper you want. To make this change you must do it on the actual joey that you are trying to adjust and follow Scherrman's Instructions:
Tip: Changing Joey Pairing in a Two Hopper System

I have a 2 Hopper/3 Joey setup. Two of the Joeys can switch between Hoppers but one only sees one Hopper. Any tips to get the third Joey the ability to select the second Hopper?
I've hard reset, swapped Joeys, and swapped connection @ splitter. That LOCATION only sees the one hopper (even with a different Joey there). The Hopper that LOCATION sees, sees everything.
how is that location connected to the node exactly? tap, splitter, direct to the node?
have you tried moving that cable line to a different port on the node?
is that a new cable line? did he change the barrel connector out at the wall plate?
just throwing a few things out to check...
The duo node is outside the house. There are two taps for the two hoppers inside the attic. Off one of the taps is a three way splitter for two connected joeys and one for future use. The other Joey is run off the other tap.
which one is the problem joey? the ones on the splitter or the one on the tap?
is the third port of that splitter capped with a terminator?
I would swap cables around for the joeys. See if your problem migrates and you might narrow it down.
One of the two on the splitter has the problem. The other on the splitter is fine. No tap on the third, unused split.

and swapping ports for the joey on the splitter changes nothing? (like moving it to the port where the working joey is)
the location on the splitter port is consistently bad? how about on the capped port that you aren't using?
bad splitter?
might be able to test that by replacing the splitter with a barrel connector and seeing if each joey line works when connected directly. (if you don't have another splitter)

No the physical room seems to be bad, I've swapped ports on the splitter. I'm going to put in a two way splitter tonight and will also take the splitter out and barrel connect the one joey to see if I get any change. maybe the run is to long to be on a split.
I lost interest last night and played with the H/J setup, just a few bugs but it's a beautiful system.
No progress, so I have 2 Joeys that see 2 Hoppers and one Joey that sees only one. Last night I substituted a two way splitter for the three way and went to two Joeys seeing one Hopper and one Joey seeing two Hoppers. Short of running another line to the Joey I've done everything I can think of, almost...
Not sure if this is the problem, or even related, but any unused port needs to have a 75 Ohm terminator installed on it.
That is why i tried the 2 way splitter from Lowes, and then neither Joey on the splitter saw both Hoppers. This isn't a killer, it's just not perfect, and it's an issue with my installation, not Dish hardware/software since the other two Joeys work correctly. I need to hunt up a 75 Ohm terminator somewhere.
I would find a good (not from Lowes) 2 way splitter and try that route again. Did you get around to taking the splitter out of the equasion?
I asked my installer if the splitters were the same as the ones you buy at Menards etc. He said no.
