I'm having the exact same issue. HWS and Carbon UI.

Haha! Hope not! I will say though.....I can't figure out all of the hatred toward the new CUI. Sure it's different bit things change and evolve. So far I can't substantiate any of the issues and complaints. Maybe they got the bugs worked out. :popcorn

I ended up getting the problems fixed by forcing the HWS (that wasn't the replacement) to update to the new CUI. To do this do the following: Place all Hoppers and Joey's in standby mode (power off). On the HWS that needs the update go to settings - diagnostics - updates (going from memory...

I am trying to hold out until December when I am out of contract and have the opportunity for a better deal on the Hopper 3. Hoping to make this current setup work until then.

How do you do that?

My Joey's finally finished their process after about 6 hours of rebooting, etc. One Joey (that previously had the old UI) now has the new interface with no access to the Hoppers recordings and the other (that had the new UI) is back to the old UI and had regained access to Hopper recordings.

Do you know if I will need new Joey's or another new Hopper to stay with the current configuration? This software is wreaking havoc!

Update: I checked the rest of my Joeys and have another that must have been linked to the "New" Hopper. The image on the screen is stuck on "Warning Your receiver's memory is now being programmed. Do not disturb or unplug your receiver!" The third Joey that is connected to the "OLD" Hopper...

I currently have a 2HWS/3J (1.0) setup in my house. One of my Hoppers had a failed hard drive recently and had to be replaced. When I received the new Hopper with sling it had the new CUI installed. The instructions that came with it said to make sure all other Hoppers and Joeys were powered...

OK. I'll look into that. Camping this weekend so I will try the setup from above with the dedicated line for the power inserter to port one and the Node in ports 2 and 3. After seeing my pictures, will I still need all 4 cables from LNB's hooked to the switch? Like I said before, I really...

I'm trying the pics again to make sure we are in the same page. Also, I wasn't aware that I couldn't pass the power inserter for the DPP44 through the Node. I will try it's own line to port 1 and the node out of port 2 and 3 of the switch.

I tried to post another pic from an online host (Shutterfly) and they show up in my post preview but not in the actual post. I am not sure what you mean by "point anywhere." I was pointed to the direction that was provided for a 1000+ dish at my location per dishpointer.com. 39.4 elevation...

I bought a Solo Node yesterday and gave it a shot last night. My Hopper went through the check switch process and took a very long time hung up on "4 of 4." It finally rebooted and I thought I won! When it came back up it started the check switch again. I did see in the background (behind...

Update...... I peaked the dish again and changed out a coax cable (wondering if the connector on the old one was not good). My Hopper now says "Signal Detected" and recognizes the switch. It takes a long time to get through the check switch. When it finally gets through "4 of 4" on the check...

I tried to make the setup work today and it just tried checking switch for a minute or so and then kept rebooting the Hopper. When I put it back in my house on my Eastern Arc dish with a Duo Node it worked fine. Also, the screen was saying: Node: No (which is correct because I do not have...
