I was wondering if anyone knew...if you use dish anywhere app (with HWS) in your home on the wireless network that the hopper is on, will it count as a double whammy on bandwidth? i.e. upload show, then download show? Or will it just use the home network. I think when you actually download a show via the app, it uses the local network as I guess you can only do that from the network the Hopper is on. I have limited bandwidth and was wondering how this would affect my usage. Thanks.
 
No double whammy. There is some minimal handshaking going on to/from Dish servers. But then the video data stream will traverse your LAN from Hopper to... Whatever you have that can handle it. I've seen streams that top 8Mbps.
 

Help with setting the skew.
