    Hopper/Joey questions

    Hi, thinking about switching from Direct to Dish as a result of the Raycom dispute.

    DVR conrtol responsivness on Genie Mini Client

    How well do the DVR controls respond on a Genie Mini Client? In particular I am interested to see if they are any better than an H24 using MRV (which IMHO is clunky and not very responsive). Thanks.

    any way to get FF and 30 sec slip to work better via MRV

    The FF and 30sec FF features are not as responsive when using MRV compared to viewing using the actual DVR. When I watch a show on my H24 using MRV from my HR24 the response to the FF and 30 sec FF seem clunky. Any way to improve it? Are there settings I can change?

    Installing Joeys using Cat 5 instead of Coax

    If Joeys can connect to the Hopper via Coax or Cat 5, why do installers run Coax instead of Cat 5. Wouldn't Cat 5 be easier and cheaper? Can the Joey's connect to the Hoppers via WiFi on your home network? Thanks.
