:oldlaugh Yeah, and monkeys might fly outta my butt ;)

Mystery solved. I live in a mobile home park that pays for our Dish service, and they just downgraded all residents from AT250 to AT120. And of course, they didn't tell us. I'll be paying $15/month to get the channels back.

Rebooting the Hopper didn't get it back. Time to call Dish. Thanks.

Turner Classic Movies (TCM, ch. 132) is gone from my hopper and joeys. Anybody else, or should I reboot the hopper?

I use: BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet 3 x 2 x 2 inches About $17.00 for two BN-LINK WiFi Heavy Duty Smart Plug Outlet, No Hub Required with Timer Function, White, Compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, 2.4 Ghz Network Only (2 Pack) - - Amazon.com Works great.

I apologize. I completely misunderstood the intent of your post. It's all good.

Sorry, I don't find it funny when someone basically says to me, "You're a moron if you think what you're suggesting is a good idea." My suggestion is a valid idea that works, and I don't need some a$$hole sh*tting all over it.

f**k you. That's the last time I try to help someone here. I'm surprised anyone asks questions or seeks help, with responses like that. f**k you.

I was experiencing the same thing. Unplugging the power to the Joey and plugging it back in fixed it...for a couple of days. I now have the Joey plugged into a timer that removes power from it every day at 4 a.m. for a couple of minutes, then powers it back on. Problem has disappeared. BTW, I do...

Well, I found a workaround. I connected the old Centurylink router to the Dish Fiber router via Ethernet and set the Hopper to connect to the Centurylink router. It works! I didn't even have to set the Centurylink router to bridge mode.

Tried it. Didn't help.

I tried the on-screen "Reset Wireless" option, but I haven't tried the recall button on the remote yet. I'll try it.

Good question. I don't know. I've got two phones, two laptops, a tablet, a desktop PC and two Echo Dots. Maybe 8 is the limit.

No, I just connect devices to it the same way I connected them to the Centurylink router. There is a website, mydishfiber.com, where I put in a username & password to see info, like connected devices, cumulative bandwidth, etc. or change the wi-fi password.

I was with Centurylink, but the mobile home park is giving us 300Mb fiber as part of a settlement.
