Yeah I'm not particularly interested in DVR's that aren't capable of sharing video, otherwise I may as well just stay with what I have now because there would be no benefit in switching.

Yeah I get that much, not much different from what I have now with my hdhomerun. Don't think it will be a problem as live TV isn't watched that frequently. However it would be nice to have a 5th tv without having to pay $200. The 5th TV is rarely used, but it would still be nice to have anyways.

Yeah what I mean is why won't dish allow you to autohop non PTAT commercials.

Without being technical, I can say that it is much better to capture the original bitstream than to capture a recompressed copy, which is what you'd get from a slingbox or an hdmi port, which also loses quality. You don't have to take my word for it that people actually do this. Just look at...

If its automated, why can't it be done with other shows instead of just the PTAT shows?

So why does he say that a 3 joeys and a hopper allow only three rooms? If a second hopper is required for four rooms, why wouldn't they quote the second hopper as part of the initial cost? I thought it was like $200. Also is there any way to cause the hoppers to automatically share scheduling...

What a pain in the ass. There are much MUCH better ways of pirating TV than copying from a slingbox or an HDMI port.

Is there a limit to the number of joeys to a hopper? On their website they offer four rooms for free, so I figured that meant 3 joeys and the hopper.

Is the slingbox that they sell with the hopper DRM encumbered? Is it capable of working with e.g. VLC?

Does autohop use its own commercial detection algorithm, or does somebody at dish set pre-set skip points?

Right now I am on Cox with an HDHomeRun Prime and two Tivo HD's. Cox is annoying in that they flag all channels as copy protected, so all of my DVR's are heavily limited in features. Plus dish is a lot cheaper, so I am looking at switching. That said, is there an up to date list of bugs...

A while back I setup a dual satellite configuration at my house by installing two 18" dishes, aiming one at the 101w, and aiming the other at the 119w. I bought a JVI 35-TRDS8 5x8 multiswitch to do this (I have three dual tuner tivo receivers, so I needed that many,) and it worked just fine...
