I had a 2h/3j installed yesterday software version 209/261 and really like the system, it's lightening fast! Puts my now former Directv HR22 receiver to shame.
I am confused about the tuners.
1 hopper is installed at the main tv(living room) and has 1 joey(bedroom) linked to it, the other hopper on the basement tv(rarely watched) has 2 joeys(other 2 bedrooms) linked to it.
Now, when i turn on the main tv (living room hopper) and push the red button on the remote it shows 2 tuners being used (example: Bio watching Living Room 1 and Access Hollywood watching Living Room 1). and shows 3rd tuner available. At the moment there is only 1 tv currently on in the entire house and no recordings are going on. Shouldn't it show what channel i am currently tuned to (example: Bio watching Living Room 1) and show 2 tuners available?
Same thing happens with the basement hopper.
Thanks
Jim

The installer only needs to get the hoppers connected for ondemand. Since they were able to direct connect both hoppers, the installer was exactly right in not using the HIC since hardwiring both is the preferred OnDemand connection.
Home Media/DLNA is a whole separate beast and that's pretty much on the customer to get working.
In my case, i only had ethernet access at one joey location for my 2H/2J system. So the tech was pretty much forced to use a HIC with passthrough at the Joey. If you wanted the HIC during install, you might have found a way to either change up your equipment placement or change up your network in a way that would have required it.
you can see the full discussion here.... has a few relevant posts: http://www.satelliteguys.us/hopper-...-network-connectivity-hopper-joey-system.html

So i guess i should have placed the joey at the main tv (ethernet access), the hopper in one of the bedrooms and not mentioned ethernet access in the basement.

To be honest, it's not a big deal. I just thought it would have been included and would have been interesting to use. I imagine i would have to pay for it now, i would install it myself though. I have extra RG6 cable.
All in all so far i'm very pleased and happy with the hopper. Have some learning ahead of me as there are a lot of features to this system. Hope i don't encounter any problems over the next few weeks.
Thanks for the help, you probably haven't seen the last of me though

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs
My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.
Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.
After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.
I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.

EchoStar fixes some of its mess, but there's much more to mop up
EchoStar's satellite TV and Sling TV services have exited Chapter 11, but clouds still hover above Dish Wireless, which faces a multitude of lawsuits.

News about the tower's dispute-
Towercos now own Dish's 5G radios – and SpaceX might be a buyer
Tower companies now own Dish's deserted 5G gear, says American Tower CEO Steven Vondran. This could feed into SpaceX's mobile ambitions, analysts say.

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?
