I appreciate all the back and forth, enlightening and fun. This project will be when construction is done. At that point I think I will put my existing Joey out on the 200' run and see how it works. At that point SolidSignal may get some business. Thank you all for perspective

The new Joey will be 200 ft from the hybrid tap attached to the hopper, which has only one outgoing port. Is there any advantage to me doing this myself, or is there a disadvantage not going thru Dish Service?

I currently lease an H3 and J2, and have for years. Also have Dish Protect I am making an addition to the house and will want another Joey out there, this one about 200 feet away. The J2 is wired thru a Hybrid Tap 203962 in the back of the hopper. I am looking for advice on how to proceed. Own...

But while this is still fresh, could there be some way to go into the 6tb and partition off part? I would have acted differently if I had only known.

I don't even need to get up from the couch to realize how right you are! thanks jr

Brittany, I am starting a new problem here: I have been unable to plug an EHD into each port and then have them both show up together, each as a device. I only get one, and if I unplug that one, then I can get the other. Is this an issue or a feature?

Has anyone noticed a drop in EHD transfer speeds. It seems like it takes an extra minute and a half to transfer a 1 hr drama, either direction. I grabbed a different good cable and no change.

I'm 391 and may have been on the prior one then

Just formatted a brand new WD 6tb with no issues

disease spreading ... deteriorate gradually I fear the same It would be nice to be able to transfer from one ehd to another - less wear and tear on the hopper's drive

Update: I can play the programs, but I can not move them.

EHDs not working correctly. The H3 recognizes them, populates the contents as usual, but when I go to play or move a program, the No Events To Display message comes up. Reset doesn't help

Can you tell me why you are so certain?

NO. Make the blue line thicker!

I would like for a Dish Tech to approach the engineering people wherever they make hoppers happen, and ask them, for me, to increase the width of the blue border that indicates which program is highlighted and shortly to be sent out of trash. I am hardly ever able to see which program is...
