Just signed up for DISH (switching from DirecTV), and as with any "big purchase/change", I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse. I have a few questions about the Hopper/Joey system.
1. What is the maximum distance between the Hopper and Joey?
2. Can a Joey view shows via ethernet, or must it use COAX?
3. Can a Joey work on an SD TV? If so, how does it look with the HD GUI?
4. The advertisements say "2000 hours of recording". That's obviously SD. What's the user accessible HD capacity and how does that compare to the PTAT/Blockbuster partition?
5. On a new install such as mine (getting the AT250 package), what type of dish can I expect to have installed?
6. And lastly (and least important & probably toughest to answer), how long will this AMC/DISH dispute last?? I noticed on the brochure I got at a local store that AMC isn't even listed anymore!!
Thanks again for any answers!
