Now that the Hopper 3 is in the wild, any new insight into what is coming down the line?

Well isn't that fancy. Any technical details? How is the signaling done? What is the maximum number of transponders?

About two years ago I posted a thread to get my head around what was going on between the satellite in the sky, and my receivers: http://www.dbstalk.com/topic/211199-dish-premise-signals/#entry3238836 However, with the new Hybrid LNB (DPH), I think it is time to refresh that discussion. A...

Excellent work. It is nice of Dish to allow alternative network options. That being said, I just got a call from the installer who said he could come tomorrow at 8a. Now you guys can tell me to do my own damn tinkering :)

The sat feed is still intact. However, the MoCA connection between the Hopper and Super Joey is broken. It is using the ethernet instead.

Fantastic work. It is interesting that the "MoCA" connection became stronger. Any noticeable changes in performance? Can you still record on 5 tuners from the hopper?

Great, let me know how it works out.

That would be a step in the wrong direction. I really hate wireless. To be honest, it is mostly tinkering. I have several coax and ethernet runs to each location.

I understand. Just curiosity at this point.

Removing the line between the integrator and the node would probably do it.

I realize I will be outside of the normal experience. "I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do, I care about what it CAN do." Thank you for the feedback. I would be interested to see how it reacts with MoCA. It might be upset if you remove the coax, since you would lose the...

I have seen some brief mentions that a Joey will work with just an ethernet connection to the Hopper (no MoCA). Granted it was probably 15 years ago, but I have had awful experiences with ethernet over cable/powerline/phone/etc. While I am sure it is much better now. I am interested in using...

Presumably the Super Joey does not have any local storage. Therefore, if you are watching tuner from the Super Joey, on the Super Joey, it has to be transferred to the Hopper (MoCA) for buffering, and back for viewing (MoCA again). I would be interested in what the performance is like. It...
