    New Hybrid LNB coming Dec. 10

    Thanks all for your comments. I am very pleased with our current dual-Hopper setup. Right now I own all four Joeys, but lease the Hoppers. Usually have two Joeys offline since I only need them when we have guests. Also own both dishes and DPP33 switch, Dual Node, etc. Have always done my...

    New Hybrid LNB coming Dec. 10

    Right now I have two Hoppers with Sling, plus four Joeys. With this new install approach, would I be able to change to one Hopper with Sling, plus one Super Joey, plus four Joeys?

    Need Help Troubleshooting Check Switch on Hopper 2000 and Hopper with Sling--Long Post

    Colorado. I talked with advanced tech support again today and they confirmed that even non-standard configurations (such as used by RVs) and Alaska and Hawaii unique equipment often only work when Alternate is on. In any event, this fixed my issues using Hawaii-specific LNBFs.

    Need Help Troubleshooting Check Switch on Hopper 2000 and Hopper with Sling--Long Post

    After extensive checking of all cables, etc., I have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with my installation. What I have found is that my non-standard configuration causes issues with at least the latest software when running check switch on both Hopper and Hopper with Sling. But I also...

    Need Help Troubleshooting Check Switch on Hopper 2000 and Hopper with Sling--Long Post

    Hopper with Sling in the bridging mode manages the allocation of IPs across the Hopper/Joey network. I understand that the router provides the IPs, but the HWS handles the Dish configuration and shares the IPs across the Dish MoCA network. Initial problem showed up when wife tried to stream a...

    Need a reliable Joey (new or used) for a seldom used TV.

    I bought two new Joeys from Amazon and returned the leased ones to Dish. This way I do not activate the guest bedroom Joeys except when we have overnight visitors. Saving $14 each month soon pays for the new Joeys.

    Need Help Troubleshooting Check Switch on Hopper 2000 and Hopper with Sling--Long Post

    Recently had an issue with my Hopper with Sling no longer providing IPs across the entire network (H, HWS, 4 Joeys) using bridging. Got that resolved after multiple reboots. So while at it, I decided to also do a check switch. That is when things got interesting. The results of the check...

    Joeys losing contact with Hopper . . .

    I do that as well, but since the topic was Joeys looking Hoppers I did not mention that.

    Joeys losing contact with Hopper . . .

    I think your problem is with IP addresses. Whenever your router reboots and assigns new IPs, the Joeys have a hard time finding their Hopper--even though MoCA is being used. I resolved this issue some time ago by changing to a Cisco router that allows me to reserve IPs for each of my two...

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    My present setup has worked very well with Joeys quite fast. I have RG6 throughout the house. I got rid of my HIC and now have the Hopper with Sling bridging to the rest of architecture. What really made a difference was when I configured my Cisco router to reserve specific IPs for each...

    FCC ID is DKNYT1300, also. Same as China-built units. Who knows? Maybe not built with different chips.

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    JazzFan, I am not saying you should go out and buy a Joey. Sounds like leasing works for you. In my case, turning in a couple of leased Joeys will save me $14 a month--an amount that quickly offsets my purchase prices of $72 each. And I will be able to turn them back on when/if company comes...

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    Activated the new Joeys this afternoon. Have no had slowness issues with old Joeys, so cannot tell if new ones are faster. My old eyes and ears think the picture and sound are improved. Who knows; it could just be wishful thinking.

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    I took a more careful look at the four new Joeys I just bought through Amazon. I bought them two at a time over the last couple weeks. It turns out that all four are the new ones, so I bet that is what the Amazon seller has. If you try to go through Dish, you will not only pay more but also be...

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    In case anyone on here is looking to buy new Joeys, I got the "newer" India-made version through Amazon. They are being sold by THE CONNECTION DEPOT for a price of $72 each with no tax and free shipping. They gave fast service. As of this morning, Amazon says they only had seven left.

    New Joeys are made in India--not China

    Just bought four new Joeys to replace leased ones. This way I can shut off guest bedrooms during most of the year and avoid monthly Joey fees. Noticed that two of the Joeys with the newest receiver numbers were made in India. The older two, plus all four of the leased units going back to Dish...
