No trees or shrubs to obstruct LOS. That makes me feel better that your numbers are roughly the same even in California. I don't seem to notice much pixelation anymore. Could have just been the hopper working out its kinks for those first few days. Ran another check switch just to see if the...

I'd agree with both statements. Programs do seem softer than Directv. That's a good description of the difference that I see. The artifacts I see on the Wireless Joey could be related to the modulation/coding scheme between the access point and the Joey. I'm just an HD only kind of guy...

From what I can tell, Directv seems to have an edge on PQ. I have noticed on the wireless Joey that the picture does have more digital noise on all channels. The Hopper 3 has a good PQ, but I think Directv has a slightly better picture. Of course, this is my opinion. Would it be enough to...

All transponders are in the 40s just on 110. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The one thing I missed the most was accessing and monitoring the tuners. Seeing search results from Netflix is a nice addition as well. It is nice not having to switch the TV over to another input and search separately.

I figured that much. I guess it's in there to get customers to think they fixed it. Like I mentioned, today the signal is back in the low 40s on 110. My satcom days in the military we had nothing of the sort, unless the dish had a servo drive and auto track. Nothing like that on the dish...

I have the wireless Joey as well. As mentioned, the guide is slow, but definitely livable. I came from direct which had a wireless system as well. The guide on direct did move faster, but if you put the client in IR mode, the genie would miss commands left and right from my harmony remote. I...

I spoke with tech support yesterday and had an interesting conversation regarding signal strength. She mentioned a signal needs to be above 25 on the Hopper 3 meter in oder to be considered good. Decent signal level was at 45 on the meter and anything over 60 was considered really good...

Well bummer. Thanks for the confirmation and appreciate the clarification.

Originally I was with Dish and the original hopper. I had an EHD connected to the original hopper and stored probably 100+ programs. After moving to another house, I had LOS issues and had to move to Directv. Stuck with Direct for 18 months and moved over to the Hopper 3 now that I am in a...

Hello everybody. Enjoying the Hopper 3 much better than the DIRECTV Genie. However, I am having some terrible dropouts during a moderate storm, and pixelation on occasions even during clear weather. I checked my sat signals just a few minutes ago with clear skies and this is what I have...

Awesome man! I was forced to Directv due to LOS issues at another house. Elevation was too low for Dish and Direct was able to get over the tree line as they are at a higher elevation. Just not a fan of the Directv UI and if I tailgated with Direct, I was stuck with only SD channels which is...

Patiently waiting on the Dish installer to show up. Stupid excited to get back to Dish Network after a 2 year hiatus with Directv. Direct hasn't been bad, but coming from a hopper prior to direct kind of spoils you. Looking forward to the Hopper 3 and 16 tuners! Sent from my iPhone using...

Same here. I have been with Dish for six years now, and they have never done me wrong. At the beginning of the year I upgraded to a 2H/2J system and I absolutely love it. I was disappointed when I found out they were coming out with a new Hopper in the next two weeks :(. However, it was my...
