    New Comcast Customer - Economy + DVR

    You can purchase a Tivo DVR and get a cable card from Comcast. However, there is a service fee from Tivo as well, I believe. NO, you cannot refuse local channels. ALL television packages include local channels.

    Did you get a free Roku offer?

    They started by offering me $5.00 off for 3 months, then they upped it to 6 months. I told them that was insulting and they had to find a way for me to get the channels I am paying for. She then coughed up the ROKU but NO other discounts were offered or honored after that. She said that was...

    Hopper S212 Feedback and Issues

    Update: I changed the audio output from Dolby/PCM to PCM only and that seems to have fixed the issue on the Joey dropping out. This is not an issue on the Joey in the bedroom, however, would be a serious problem if it was connected to a surround sound. I will update further over the next few...

    Hopper Causing internet connection issues with router?

    I doubt that, it sounds like a port issue to me. If the Hopper can't get to the correct port, then it is going to do something crazy until it can get out and make whatever connection it needs to make. You may want to try to find port requirements for Hopper/Joey configurations and set your...

    Preferred Network Connectivity for the Hopper and Joey System

    I will confirm all joey's will work with CAT5 only. It will default to coax everytime if it is plugged up too. I am using 85mbps homeplug adapters at all my locations and they work pretty well. There is some spotty parts where picture quality drops or it freezes. I think that is because I...

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

    The sound on my Joey drops out randomly. I have swapped HDMI ports on the TV, HDMI cables, and the Joey itself with one from Dish.... I do NOT have this issue with the Blu-Ray player, or the Roku box connected to the same TV. I also did not have this problem with the 211k I had before we...
