    Can the Hopper do this?

    You are correct. I just double checked and now I see it. Odd since I am the one that put it on. I was probably so anxious to get it setup I didn't pay much attention to it.

    Can the Hopper do this?

    Hmm, never knew that was even an option. Only problem is there isn't an external antenna on the Hopper or Joeys to adjust so not sure how you would make the signal stronger other than moving the Hopper/Joey itself.

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    Couldn't you just make a custom channel list without those channels? I agree it would be a good feature however.

    Future additions to Hopper/Joey

    I would like it to cook me breakfast and do my laundry. ;)

    Ready to switch from Directv to Dish right now

    I have a hopper in the bedroom and I haven't noticed any noise at all from it. Of course my computer is always on so the fan in it might drown out some of the hopper noise. Still I cant believe it would be that loud. One other thing besides Pip is the hopper supports bluetooth so you can use...

    Ready to switch from Directv to Dish right now

    I have my duo node installed inside for ease of swapping cables. Might want to consider that. Sounds like you are on top of it. I have the same setup you are contemplating. I did not opt for the HIC which I am regreting. Seems to be the best option for full connectivity right now. Other than...

    Buyers remorse about getting 1 Hopper vs 2 Hoppers?

    I have a 2 Hopper/3 Joey setup and I couldn't imagine only having 1 Hopper. I think that anyone with 4 TVs or more should at least be offered a 2 Hopper setup when signing up. However, in Dish's defense the vast majority of people out there probably only need a one Hopper setup. I would be...

    Hopper wants to run check switches all the time?

    Just to update, mine continues to do a check switch when I turn the Hopper on after being off for a while. Thankfully it doesn't take long. I am on firmware S207 btw.

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    Had an issue last night where the DVR showed that I was recording the same timer event twice at the same time on the same channel. I did cancel one of them and the other kept on going. Weird. Also later I was watching the History Channel and I got the acquiring signal screen like a rain fade...

    So good so far

    Not sure about your specific wifi adapter but wifi does work with the Hopper. The HIC, wired ethernet and wifi are all options.

    So good so far

    Joey's will work on RG59.

    So good so far

    As isaacmorseMI stated it would only be $11 more per month. You'd be better of with 2 Hoppers and 2 joey's than the single Hopper and 3 joey's. Other than the extra $99 fee for the 2nd Hopper the monthly fees are the same and you gain 3 more tuners and twice the recording space. Plus redundancy...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    I was actually going to try the remote setting but never got around to it. Now that I read the description it is quite obvious. That makes sense for the recordings too. Thanks for clearing that up.

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    I am having an issue with all of my remotes not being able to control my TVs. If I press the TV button it flashes and then the SAT button lights up as if it is going back to SAT mode. Volume and On/Off functions work for the TV but it's like it won't let me change to any mode other than SAT...

    QUESTION - What do you like about the Hopper

    I just ran into a situation where I was watching ESPN2 on one tuner, PTAT was using another tuner and my son was watching a show in his room on a Joey. I wanted to record a move and all 3 tuners were in use. I just went into his room and paired his Joey to our other Hopper. Problem solved and...

    Hopper S207 Software Release Notes

    Even with the bugs it seems like a nice system. Of course I came from a pair of 322's. While they were far from buggy, they didn't have near the feature set of the Hopper/Joey. To stay on topic, I finally got the new software. DLNA finally works and can see my computer.

    2 Hoppers, 3 Joeys Network Connection

    I haven't gotten it to work yet. I haven't messed with it much though.

    I joined the hopper world

    If they are working they are probably 3ghz rated. As for monoprice, I noticed they didn't have the specs either. Strange.

    What if you want DLNA?

    Hopper wants to run check switches all the time?

    FWIW, I had the same thing happen this morning. Hopper did a check switch. I am on EA 72 and 61.5.

    QUESTION - What do you like about the Hopper

    The speed of the guide and changing channels is my favorite thing. Much better when channel surfing. My buddy who has Directv came over to check it out and he was in love with the responsiveness and speed.

    Weird Joey Behavior

    Strange indeed. I did get a hell of a static shock when I touched mine. Felt a bit hot too.

    Will tech use my new RG6 cables when installing the Hopper?

    Should be fine. My installer used a lot of my old cables and put ends on all my new cabling as well. You should have plenty of room for your node. As far as splitting HDMI for your SD TV, you could always get an RF modulator and run that from the composite (red, white, yellow) outputs on the...

    QUESTION - What Bugs or Usability Issues do you have with your Hopper?

    Hopper stopped while watching and hung. Screen froze for a minute then went black. Shut it off and on several times and then it rebooted itself. Thankfully I wasn't recording anything. Also, tried the Weather Channel App for the first time and it froze on the logo screen after exiting the...
