Update: I reconnected my Hopper with Sling to my Netgear N600 router using the 5G Wi-Fi instead of the 2.4G. So far, it has worked just fine for over 3 hours. I watched a video on my iPad through the network with no problem, but I had to watch it in standard quality to get it to stream. The...

Why do the Joeys use router IP for direction? Why do they not use the MOCA and the Hopper use IP only?

Not sure what you mean there. I have one regular hopper and another hopper with Sling that uses Wi-Fi to connect to my router. I assumed that only the one with sling could be used through the internet? If not, does that mean that the other hopper communicates through the first hopper and...

It appears that disabling the Hopper with Sling WI-FI has cured the problem of the Joeys failing. Now, would one suspect that the Hopper and/or sling adapter within the hopper is bad or is it a network communication issue with my Netgear router? Before disabling the router I had a WI-FI signal...

Got it - thank you for the clarification. I realize the Joeys did not have a tuner, but I did not realize that the Hopper could tune all 4 broadcast networks using just one tuner. That makes sense since the other 3 channels that are "Available" are local networks. That still does not make...

No, The Hopper that is only allowing 3 separate stations to be tuned is currently tuned to AMC, Discovery, and History channel. When you hit the red button it shows these three channels being tuned and no other channels available. If you hit guide and try to tune a channel that is not listed...

Well, so far so good on the internet disconnect. With the internet disconnected all Joeys fired up and immediately attached to Hoppers. I left all six TVs running for 15 minutes without a hiccup. I then had to run back to work, but left all of them on and my wife is going to keep an eye on...

Thank you for that information. Yes, the Upstairs Hopper is connected via Sling Wi-Fi. When you say disconnected, are you referring to turning off the home Wi-Fi completely or using a menu feature in the Hopper to disconnect? Thanks!

The RG-6 on the hoppers and 2 of the Joeys is 20 gauge QS. The 2 upstairs bedroom Joeys are the original Belkin 18-gauge RG-59.

Ok just to show you guys I am not smoking crack I took pictures of the "exercise room" screen. I reset the Joey and it connected to "Living Room1" Hopper. The other hopper did not show in the "detected equipment" list even though it is on and working. I watched a live TV movie for roughly 20...

The RG-6 runs to the hoppers are less than 30 ft each. RG-6 runs to the 2 Joeys are less than 30 ft each. One of the RG-59 runs is 30 ft and the other about 60-70 ft. Not sure if the RG-6 is 3G. It was purchased in 2007 from a high end AV shop and is quad shield.

I am not an expert on Multimedia over coax, but I'm not sure the db loss would apply. From what I understand it is the capability of the coax to handle the full spectrum needed for the Hopper to work, whereas the Joeys only need what a RG-59 can provide. I could be wrong there. I do agre...

Interesting, that is the first I have heard of that. I specifically asked that before they installed the system and the reply was that only the Hopper needed RG-6. I hope that is not true since running RG-6 to the upstairs bedrooms would be nightmare. You could get a new cabe into one side of...

Working with Zach now. Thank you for the help everyone. Hopefully they can fix the problem. I turned on the upstairs bedroom Joeys with the basement Hopper off and the living room (with sling) Hopper already on. Neither Joey could hook up to the Hopper for 2-3 minutes. One bedroom finally...

I hate for this to be my first post, but I guess there is no other option. Had 2 hopper installed last week (one with Sling) and 4 Joeys. Within an hour the Joeys would go into the "Looking for a Hopper to connect to" message with the 1303 error code. Prior to going into this mode the Joeys...
