Carbon UI with mixed Hopper types questions

[darrengs]

I have a Hopper 2k, a Hopper with Sling and a Joey 1. When the HWS updates to carbon UI will I still be able to access the recording from the H2k from my HWS?

I have been told that the H2K will not get the carbon UI, will the Joey 1 get the carbon UI?

Basically am I going to have issues staying with my current setup? I don't want to upgrade equipment as I don't want to sign a 24 month commitment.

No your Hopper with Sling will no longer talk to the Hopper 2K (and vice versa)

It is NOT recommended to install the carbon UI on the Hopper with Sling in these types of setups.

I believe that the H2k will not get the new UI, and therefore will not "talk" to the other equipment.
They will probably replace your H2k with the HWS for free if you'd like.

OK, so the new UI is optional then?

For now yes.

Currently it is optional because the "upgrade" has not been officially released for the H2 and eventually the H1

I can confirm the HWS will not talk to the H2000 with Carbon, but my H2000 seem to be able to talk to my HWS with Carbon. I can also confirm (at least at our house) after the upgrade on the HWS every Joey in the house paired with the HWS and got the Carbon update. When you pair it back to the H2000, several things do not work such as the guide / DVR.
