    3 questions about our install

    The to blue caps are not approved he should have used F terminators to close them off. You can tap the host line with a tap and only a tap but a splitter can be used after the tap on the client side. Sounds like you just need t enable bridging on the Hoppa that is properly connected to the...

    Issues pointing dish for Hopper setup

    Hopper/Joeys freezing and showing black screen - can get to the guide menu but can't push anything.

    This same thing was happening to me I let it go for 2 weeks basically started with the S213 update. I put in a Trouble call and replaced my Hopper today everything is working as it should again.
