Picture Quality
I haven't seen this asked anywhere, but will the picture quality be better on the new hopper? I have a 622 & just bought a new Samsung UN55D7000 tv & am seeing a little motion blur with fast moving objects. I was hoping the hopper would eliminate this problem for me.

From my understanding, you can record 5 events at once. Whether it actually disables a tuner or not, I don't know.
For what your asking, I think the answer will be no. Most artifacts are introduced at the compression stage, and there's not much the Hopper could do to take them out.
there is no "disabling" of any tuner. There are 5 tuners to be used between sat and OTA if you have a AM21. For all I know you could use all 5 tuners to record OTA (although that hasnt been confirmed yet)
yes you can record 5 events at once. SO they could be 5 sat tuners, 2 OTA & 3 sat or possibly 5 OTA tuners (although not confirmed)
Your HDTV is a 240Hz HDTV you should not be seeing any blur.Like the others have said connect it directly to the 622.
This was on the video, and the answer is yet there will be permissions to prevent someone from deleting your shows.
Is this a fact, or just speculation? The current VIP series dual-tuner receivers have two sets of four user-customizable favorites lists - one for TV1 and one for TV2. In other words, the guide experience is different for TV1 and TV2. I would hope that Dish would keep this concept the same for the Hopper/Joey system, even though it would mean using some of the Joey's RAM for favorites and preferences. The interface between the tuner in the Hopper and the GUI in the Joey might be tricky. I (obviously) don't know enough about how all this works to speak intelligently; I'm just hoping this is how it will work. Not a deal-breaker, but hopefully they can figure it out.
I did connect the 622 directly to the TV once & could still see the motion blur. I'm really not sure what else to do?
When you look at it that way, I suppose they COULD have a favorites list for each Joey. But they would be managed/stored on the Hopper, from everything I've read. As I understand it, there is no single vs dual mode. But since the Hopper clearly distinguishes between Joeys, it could be done. Or they could just do as in single mode today, have a list of Favorites lists, and you just select the one you want. Not sure I see the value in having some favorites lists not visible to all.
Consider that a channel on several favorites lists is dropped. It would be convenient to sit at one TV and go thru each favorites list and remove the channel, rather than having to go to each Joey.
