I previously had a second hopper (we'll call it hopper 2) in an office that was too far from my front door and needed it's own satellite dish and I could watch it's recordings with my HWS and joey's here in the house through our LAN. Recently that hopper 2's hard drive went bad and we had to get a replacement hopper. We decided to have it moved down to the house and needed to have an installer come out to put in a duo node and change wiring (also upgrade the old coax from the node to the main tv as it was 20 year old 1 ghz rated from the Primestar days that the original hopper installer didn't mess with and also relocate the dish closer to the house because the coax on the dish was "kinda brittle"...) I have better picture now, but the problem we are having now is that while the hoppers see each other under the "whole house" menu, only my HWS sees hopper 2's DVR recordings at all, on hopper 2 if i click the drop down menu to select the HWS says "sharing will be available soon" or something like that. But, if i try to watch one of the recordings on the HWS from hopper 2, i get an "error 00" saying there's a problem with what it's trying to do.
I went outside and looked at all the wiring to make sure there were no Isolators (after doing research on here and learning about them) and found out that the HWS is wired directly off of the node and then another wire goes to a Tap that goes to our Joey and Hopper 2.
We are so confused as to why we cannot watch the recordings between the hoppers now when we could at least watch the recordings from hopper 2 on the HWS through the LAN when they weren't on the same dish before. I even called Dish and they tried telling me that a HWS can view the dvr listing from another hopper but not play them and that a regular hopper can't even view the dvr listings from another hopper period. Funny how that the internet tells a different story on that one!
So, what do you all suggest? Please help! Thanks!
