The installer gave us a 54.1 remote for the Hopper 3 and a 54.3 remote for the Joey 3, as shown on the diagnostics screens for both devices. But on the back of the remotes, both show as 54.0. Does the Joey 3 require the later version 54.3?

Yesterday the Hopper 3 remote (54.1) would not work all of a sudden. I noticed that the white light was not coming on for Sat or TV when buttons were pressed. I thought the batteries may be dead so I removed them, checked them, and they were OK. I put the batteries back in and the remote then worked fine ??? Do the remotes need to be "reset" in this manner from time to time?

They're identical. One has the Google-colored Mic. They can all be used with any Hopper/Joey receivers. The issue you had was just a glitch
 

H+ randomly drops wifi network

52.0 remote no longer controls Hopper 3
