ever since my household upgraded from 2 722k to the Hopper and 2 Joeys and 1 Super Joey back in February, we been having lots of problems with it since then, we have had gone to a new Hopper and a new Super Joey and a couple of those things that the cable splitter hook up thing up to to add moca/signal from the satellite dish to it. and need to say, still having problems.
in fact, here's a list of them:
1. Channels going out for no reason as in good weather, and the HD channels going to their SD version, when it's just mostly Sunny/partly cloudy (might be a signal issue with dish eye).
2. Sometimes the scheduled pre-programmed recordings don't record at all and causes issues with other pre-programmed scheduled recordings. and other times, recording don't record parts of the show at all for no reason, possibly related to signal issues.
3. Channels on tuner not coming in at all, just a black screen and you are left with no choice but to reset Hopper and or Joey.
4. channels audio drops out and skips on the main TV hooked to Hopper, and the only way to fix that is ether back it up for a sec or change the channel, ch. 138 TNT seems to do this the most.
5. every time you tuned into a channel or went back to live or backed up a live broadcast for a moment, it freezes for a second like a badly scratched up DVD being played in a DVD player.
6. tuner assigned to a TV doesn't turn off after someone turned off the TV and had it off for hours (example, if the TV hooked up on a Joey labeled "Bedroom 2" on the TV Activity menu, if it's off, then the tuner needs to be free if TV's been off for more then a few minutes.), it's possible the tuner could need to be turned off by someone when they are done with TV, and the Joey may have a setting set up for auto turn off after a x amount of time and said joey hasn't gotten to that time yet.
7. freezes up like it's paused when you are trying to back up a show from the start (or the point of being tuned in on the Hopper/Joey/Super Joey) on either a live programming or a DVRed recording.
that's all the known issues me and my household had been dealing with since we went with the Hopper/2 Joeys/Super Hopper setup.
anyone else having all of the issues i have listed on this posting. if so, i think we should just go back to the 2 722ks
