Hopper 3 WiFi/Remote Antenna Replacement?

[Bobby]

It is a zigbee device I believe, which puts it into the 2.4 ghz frequency.

Both my hopper and 4K joeys work for crap compared to the VIP’s UHF remotes. I sometimes feel as if they are line of sight IR remotes more than wireless.

I find that interesting. I can control my Joey 3 with a 54 remote 40 feet away through 4 walls just fine. The Hopper3 is the same. I will say that the Joey 4 had more difficulty.

The Zigbee part works great for me, even without my Silver Sensor. It's the IR TV control that's feeble. My old UHF Pro 6.3 remotes could control this same television very reliably. I could aim it at the ceiling, or the far wall, or somehwere in between with no LOS to my 612's, and it worked great. My 54 is so feeble, I have to point it right at the TV and get closet to it before it does anything. This is very annoying. Is something wrong with this darn thing? Maybe I should buy another 40. Or just use the 6.3 which I still have.

Hey! Is that the Joey 4 w/both 4K and HDR that we have been asking for?
