    DISH Expands Amazon Alexa Voice Control Support

    It would be useful if you could verbally turn the hopper/joey on and off.

    Sling Adapter died?

    I had the exact same issue last week. Either it works (red light) or it doesn't. I called tech help and replaced both hoppers with HWS at no cost ( but a 2 year commitment). Posted Via The FREE SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    What don't you like about the Hopper

    EHD on hopper drops off?

    I have experienced the same thing with my WD EHD. I've had my Hopper for a month. It will randomly show the external device, then the next time I look, it is gone. Unplugging and re-plugging the EHD will make it re-appear, but if I do nothing, it will also come back on it's own at some point...

    2 hopper system

    Thanks for the info. It makes it more understandable. I just finished an online order chat and was told of the 2H/2J requirement. After a series of back and forth banter, I was told to simply deactivate the second Joey. I'm not a new customer, so the charge was $100 for each Hopper for a total...

    2 hopper system

    I want a 2H/1J system and was told every Hopper had to have a Joey, meaning if I wanted 2 Hoppers I have to have 2 Joeys. Now I'm confused.
