It should work - I have done just what you want to do. You should be able to run your Dishanywhere app on one of you home PCs no problem. I've used Dishanywhere well just about anywhere I can get internet, even with much slower download speeds you have there. You may need to update your browser...

Yes power supply - AC wire going to transformer with smoothing capacitors, diodes & voltage regulators. Cheers, Bob

+1 on the HDMI cable - I do power on my TV and AVR which turns on the Hopper all at the same time. The hopper powers on after the AVR which it's plugged into via HDMI automatically. I actually have to press enter to start the Hopper. So I power on the TV/AVR then hit enter for the hopper to come...

No kidding... here I thought it was my AVR. I experienced this last night. I thought I wasn't getting the proper sound so I switched my AVR thru a few different surround mods and 5.1 Dolby Digital kicked in. I think my system has been in 2.0 for some time now. I have my AVR Yamaha RX-A700 set to...

Out with the old in with the new - you will be fine even with all those devices on the same home network, plus you can take your laptop anywhere there's internet you can get Dish anywhere. The only problems I've had with home network and Hopper/Joey was with the Joey trying to use the same IP...

You didn't mention that you logged in to dishanywhere on your laptop.... There's a little glitch at the logon screen where even tho the ID & password fields were auto filled on my PC I still have to start typing over my ID name to get the red login button to turn red (enabled) so I could hit...

Yes - hopper with sling you can use dishanywhere with any pc with a decent internet (4mps min for 1080P) or lan setup. I occasionally watch dishanywhere from my PC in my home office & at wrok (no joey there) and I actually think its a lot less glitchy (actually no glitches) than the joey in my...

I think the OP has 2 issues with connection - one being in his shop and the other being on the road for a month. I would think it's easier to get internet and use dishanywhere than running expensive wire to his shop (for the one issue) and dishanywhere while on the road (2nd issue). Personally...

What about dishanywhere for on the road. I went to another country with my laptop and had internet and was able to see all my recordings and also live tv. I would expect you can do the same with your laptop in your shop if its really that far away from your main house. Whats the distance from...

We get between 123VAC and 128VAC here where I live and hopper/Joey work just fine. I've got other WAY more sensitive audio equipment than the Hopper and I get concerned when the voltage gets up to say +126VAC. +-10% fluctuation is expected (from 117VAC) and I would bet even that you won't be...

How does yours work on your Joeys? I couldn't even see my computer content with the Joey until I installed the WIFI adapter then all has been fine even thru media player server. I gotta say tho thru the Joey it's still very clunky. On an asside - been away on vacation for the last 2 weeks using...

The only way I was able to get it working reliably was to insert a wifi receiver into the Joey, there's a port on the back for the wifi receiver to insert and I'm using Microsoft media server that is part of Win7. After that works just fine. Cheers, Bob

Officially I think the upgrade from Hopper to HWS is $100 - I got them down to $50 and others here got it for FREE. It will require you to swap out the Hopper and loose your recorded shows tho so be ready for that (I wasn't). In my case I was going from 722 to HWS and they installed (about a...

The PC I'm using for the server is a desktop, I'm good with the sleep mode, pretty much posted that to help anyone else that may find this quirk. Cheers, Bob

I'm good - worked last night like a charm. I realized what was messing me up a little was my PC went to sleep mode and the hopper wont see the network or server on my pc if it's in sleep mode and sometimes I need to re-set the connection once my PC goes to sleep then back on again.. only...

Hi Mary - yes I got it back up and running again... bottle of wine tonight ... keeping finger X'd, maybe we will sit down fire up the turntable and watch some vids on my computer! I'm feeling good about it, I'll report back later. Cheers, Bob

That and "supposedly" you can share media from your home computer network and watch them on your Dish system, both at the hopper AND the Joey. Mixed results for me so far tho with the Joey. I got it all going yesterday after the install of the Hopper w/sling, tested the Joey tested the Hopper...

Thanks for the tip - very nice and glad to know. Now I have a question about the DLNA server. I'm running Windows 7 on all my home computers, will the DLNA server packaged with Windows 7 work or will I need to get another one? If another one, which do you recommend, or better which DLNA server...

Thank you for letting me know. I'm going with the upgrade to my upgrade, is there anything else I need to connect my home WIFI to the new Hopper with Sling? Right now I can see my Hopper and I can see my computer (somewhat - no functionality) from the hopper, cant see anything on my network from...

Thanks Mary - I was told that IF I asked for the gen2 Hopper at my initial upgrade request that I would get it FREE! Is that correct? Cheers, Bob

Hopper Upgrade Attn. DIRT +1 on that for sure. Can a DIRT member please contact me regarding my Hopper upgrade? What happened to me was 2 weeks ago I called to get an upgrade from a 722 to hopper with Joey. The reason I wanted to upgrade to the Hopper was so I could get Dish Anywhere and use...
