Everyone has been posting the Hopper 3 minor issues.
What about the Joey 2.0 and Joey 4k on the new Hopper 3?
Connecting these boxes to the Hopper 3 brings new issues we have not seen with the Hopper WS 2.0
I will start with my list.
1. Over the Air OTA is much worse on a Joey 2.0 or Joey 4k. It may be perfect the Hopper 3 but bad on the Joeys.
a. What I see is intermittent digital pixelation. Often seen from OTA multipathing. Could be a software issue with multipathing on the Joeys?
b. A times I wonder if it is a MOCA issues as OTA sends more data as its not compressed down and the MOCA software cant handle the extra data feed, then it just drops it. I do not see any errors in the MOCA diag screen.
c. I also wonder on the MOCA concern that maybe 3 GHZ coax is needed now to all Joeys? A new requirement not documented thus it would be bug.
d. More on the Multipath concern.
The Over the Air code that deals with Multipath. My Hopper WS was perfect all the time.
If the signal is TOO STRONG, you get this issue as there is too much multipathing going on. (same signal bouncing off other houses or trees coming into your antenna slightly behind or different).
Solution was to put an Antenuator on the Anttenna coax and adjust it.
Trouble is this sginal can change from day to night so you have to adjust it a lot.
If you do not have an Atenuator putting a 2 way splitter or have a 3 way can be a low cost easy test to verify this.
WORSE NEWS: The Joey 2.0 and Joey 4K make the Multipathing even worse, so you may be a minor issue going on with the HOPPER 3 you may not see much of an issue on a Hopper 3, but watch the same channel on the Joey and wow it is even worse. I am guessing the software for the Joey for OTA view is different. Trouble is the JOEY 2.0 and JOEY 4K do not seen to follow this fix of an Antenuator.
2. Joey 2.0 has a blank Mini Guide. My Joey 4K works find. I have rebooted may times. It is always empty.
3. Joey 2.0 Netflix Box Tune to Chanel 370 and Netflix will have issues. Exit and return and it still has issues. Only a reboot will clear the issues, could be a memory leak. One time it displayed a 370 in the middle of the screen and it would not go away. Only a reboot would clear it. If you go to Netfix form the menu it always works as long as you never go to it via channel 370.
Note: Netflix is not on the Joey 4K yet, could this be why it has not passed certification?
4. Joey 2.0 only. Remote seems sticky or slow, its missing receiving signals. Could be a UHF software issue.
5. Joey 4K if you go to Parental Guide and block channels 101 to 103 then the next day when you turn the Joey 4K on it will only display guide channels in the 900s and NOTHING else. Work already is then to show all channels and then switch it back to show only channels you get.

Not sure saving $24/year is worth it unless you're a hardcore Philo user. I'll stick with monthly.

'Rockford Files' Reboot Gets NBC Pilot Order
I grow tired of all the reboots. Most I don't bother with but will depend on the actor chosen.

Continuing the Kilauea thread in the Pub here. Perhaps the Iceland one too next time there's remarkable activity.
Currently there is precursory lava flowing into the crater, leading to the next episode that'll probably start within the next day.
You can see the pace of inflation / deflation here. It serves as the primary predictor for when the expect the eruptions, which coincide w/ inflation turning into significant deflation and last for several hours on average with significant fountaining.

Wife and I like the AfarTV feeds, for the discussion along w/ them, though they're otherwise just mirrors of the official USGS feeds.

Kīlauea seems to be returning to the "normal" eruption script, impressive fountaining from the North Vent. For once, the V2 Cam has the best overall shot:
The lava flows have covered a good portion of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.

I have Dish with Hopper3. I choose to get local channels OTA and had a "guide list" established at my previous home. Having moved a few miles away, I wanted to update the list by appending a couple new stations via a rescan. As many would know, some stations come in with the UHF/VHF antenna aimed in one direction, while others come in better with a different direction.
Unfortunately, when a scan is done (bringing in 25-30 stations for that particular antenna aim), the dialog screen does not present the established guide list; it presents an empty field to the right that the scanned stations may be selected one by one and added to the empty guide. But because of antenna aim, some stations originally saved are missing, and would have to be retrieved with a different antenna aim. But as I explain, if a 2nd scan is done with a different antenna aim, the stations saved from the first scan are lost.
It troubles me that Dish didn't develop software that would allow a user to simply append only 1 or 2 channels to the established list.
Any thought on this? Has anyone experienced this or heard of this from others?

Apparently I'm not a big enough nerd
since I did not read every Marvel Comic Book ever published. If I had, I might be comparing the comics' version of events compared to what's transpiring in "Visionquest". So, I am enjoying the series a lot, not weighed down by previous expectations, knowing only the Avengers MCU movies and the "Wandavision" / "Agatha All Along" TV series.
I found the Mr Know-it-All channel from his discussion about "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and he's been gleefully picking these episodes apart, referencing the Marvel comics from the 1939 on. Turns out A.I. has been around since before World War II, at least in the comics. (Robots before that, yes, yes.) This show is going back into the archives.

I thought they were effectively releasing a longer episode 7 and 8 instead of shorter episodes 7 & 8 this week and 9 & 10 next week. It felt like they were packing more into this episode.
edit: But you're right, the run time of the first three pairs of episodes was 100 minutes on average. Episode 7 clocks in at 65 minutes.
