On further examination, I went and checked my Joey 4K and pushed the PIP button on the 40.0 that came with that box and I get message box saying "This is not an active feature". Is PIP supposed to work on the Joey 4K?

LOl - of course, I'm using the H3. I was a Day One adopter of the H1, so I am somewhat familiar with how to diagnose problems with STB's! :-). The bottom line is that I have no visible PIP options that I can see.

Nope! LOL When I press "Select" on any live TV channel, all I get are options to 'Close", 'Record This" or "Record Next Airing". No PIP options whatsoever.

Alright. now that I have been playing with the system for a bit, I still can't find the PIP fuctions on the 52.0 remote and they are not explained anywhere in teh documenation. How the f**k do I do PIP with the 52.0 remote? LOL

Holy Christ - I didn't even know you could back up settings to the remote. So, you're saying I copy the remote settings to the H3 52.0, then pair that 52.0 to the J4K and copy the settings to the J4k, then unpair it and take it to teh J2, copy the settings then unpair it again? Then I have to go...

Hall - where is the option to copy the guide settings on the J2 or J4K? If there is one, I must have missed it.

Not true. As just one example, on my old H1/J1/J1 system, if one made guide changes on the H1, those changes carried over to the J1s automatically. Now, for example, I created a custom "HD only" guide in the H3, but that guide IS NOT visible in the J4K or the J2!! So, essentially, I have to do...

yes, sorry about that - I mistyped. I meant to say "52.0" and not "42.0". I also noticed that each of the three boxes (H3, J4K and J2) needs to be set-up separately - setting changes and and custom guides made on the H3 do not "carry over" to the J4K and the J2. It's almost as if all three...

Thanks, patrick! I was just reading the other thread and saw that same comment about turning off the Joeys - FWIW, it looks like both my Joeys (I got one 4K Joey and one "regular" one) were on all last night after the install, which might explain why I got almost zero guide data even though the...

stimpson - many thanks for the quick response; it is greatly appreciated. Re: your answer for #2, no go - "DVR" menu was the first place I thought to go to, but there is no option for "Sources" there. So, it seems as if maybe the Hopper isn't recognizing my EHDs? Also, when I plug the EHD in I...

Just got my Hopper 3 installed yesterday at about 1700 or so, and a couple of questions for the more knowledgeable here: 1) Is there really no way to hide SD channels? I watch ONLY HD and I don't want any SD channels on my guide at all. And before somebody chimes in with the stupid "just create...

I havent been contacted at all by DIRT adn I put my name on the list on Friday - do we know roughly what the average wait time is?

I too would like to upgrade from my original Hopper 1 and Joey 1's to the new Hopper 3 and Joey.

FWIW, I'd love to see it in HD. The only reason I don't watch much of it now is because it's in SD.

I don't care much for the appearance changes - they've basically just made all of the tiles on all of the screens smaller :-(. One functional change that really burns my ass is that they removed the little green "amount watched" bar on the icons of all of the programs on the dvr. Now you have...
