Update: Did some page by page digging on MyDish.com in desperation. Found a big red "Wake Up Receivers" button at the very bottom of the My Account>My Equipment page. Took multiple tries but when I walked back in the room and the program guide was in the process of downloading, probably woke...

So I have multiple HWS and one of them was left unplugged for several weeks. The other HWS are still receiving signal from above, but the idled one won't respond to "Acquiring Signal" : message 535". No loading green bar for hours. To troubleshoot, I swapped out a "active" HWS in its place...

For the better part of a year, I have been receiving phone calls from individuals claiming to be DISH, same with Caller ID. Caller states that they have been notified that my system is having problems and can send a technician over promptly. Since I have not seen any problems and the timing...

I have two HWS that played nicely with each other until an update sometime this June. After that point in time, if the upstairs HWS was playing back content recorded on the downstairs HWS, the STOP function would pause for a second or two and then resume playing, the PAUSE function would do...

Last week I packed my Hopper (HWS) to my step-Daughter's place (out-of-town) because her family wanted to watch some content they do not have access to with their Hopper. When I "substituted" it in place of her Hopper, I noticed that her Joeys would not link with my Hopper. The Joeys tried...

I assume that at best, the "cabin" HWS will be able to receive a signal from the satellite(s) and record shows. But those shows won't be able to be watched on "home" devices for the reason ChadT41 mentioned. Thanks for the input ChadT41.

Say you have a Hopper w/Sling on your "home" system and you wire it (as recommended for two HWS) in with a Hopper w/Sling you brought back with you from your "cabin" system. Each HWS belongs to a different DISH account. Will they play nice with each other?

As the thread starter I thought I should report. I posted this inquiry at the request of my independent installer on his initial "scouting" visit. Forwarded him the early feedback. Thank you for the feedback. This house had a mix of coax from the original construction (late 70's) thru several...

Contacted/Helped/Equipment ordered. "And so it begins".

Has anyone ever used RG59 cable to connect the Hopper?

Initially contacted by mikeH of DIRT. Conversation started.

Attn: DIRT Over-a-decade DISH customer with two leased 722Ks interested in upgrading them to two Hoppers w/Sling and two "regular" Joeys (HWS+2 Joey and HWS, but might add a 5th TV to stand-alone HWS).
