I need info on new hopper plus

...BUT said I am running out of space already! Any way to add storage like a USB thumb drive?
That's how they get you to add multiple Joeys to the same TV. Then, you simply switch inputs to go to a different Joey loaded with different apps. Think of the additional receiver fees!
 
I have the same issue on one out of the four Joey 4s I have. Only one even though it shows 4gb free and has the exact same apps loaded as the others.

I am sorry I may not have explained it right. My hopper ran out of space and showed only 1gb left it said your running out of space and it may interfere with its ability to operate which it did apps were freezing up so I deleted a couple and it helped. That person asked what is available or used as a new box before you add to it and its about 4gb used out of 8gb which is absolutely outrageous to me! Especially when they say thousands of apps are available! Technically that's not even true!

I would have loved to hear how that meeting went! Memory is so cheap these days, I am very disappointed in a few things but happy with others. I am trying to give it time for me to learn it all.
 
I must say the 40.0 remote not working on the Plus has been cumbersome to me learning both a new remote and a new system at the same time and add to it a minor delay in reaction time! My biggest is watching a recording and trying to pass the commercials. I waste more time trying to skip them. I have moved to streaming most now. A better picture and zero commercials.
 
My H3 updated to H325 on 9/23/2022 at 6:55AM. I have a question though as seen on my screen. It lists a bunch of different available Joey software, what does that mean? Also my Joey 4 is on P507 and hasn't updated since 9/10/2022 at 4:36PM. Is this because there hasn't been any updates or because my Hopper Plus is disconnected?


 
All of the receiver software is loaded onto the Hopper. So, all of the Joey software for all types of Joeys are loaded to that Hopper. The individual Joeys pick up on that software and load their unique software via MoCa. Your Joey 4 is using the available software available to it based on what you see on that screen.

A software version that is not quite ready for public release, but goes out to a larger pool of people than the usual testers. Usually this pool includes other Dish employees that are not beta testers. Since several people here already have it, this one seems to be out in the wild to some extent. Perhaps only to people who actually have a Hopper Plus, but not yet everyone who has a Hopper Plus, either.

That's not supposed to be out til the 27th so if anyone got it, it's by luck

My sister's Wally used to do the same thing. She would consistently get the public software releases about a week before people here would start reporting seeing the new version.

Now it is my turn to apologize for not explaining my question correctly. I was asking about the space taken up in the Hopper's internal memory for the apps that are built into the Hopper. (The ones that do not require the Plus.) I was curious if the 8GB total in the Plus is consistent with the amount that Dish has been allocating for apps all along.

...and its about 4gb used out of 8gb which is absolutely outrageous to me!
I would say it's truly outrageous! Truly, truly, truly outrageous! We'll have to start calling this device "Hopper Jem!"
 
I am looking but cant find anything on the Hopper or internet yet. Did find these attachments

Earlier I mentioned a USB thumb drive being used to expand the APPs storage and now I remember why my Samsung smart TV allows this! Now its not android based but I have a ton of apps and only used 2.39 out of 5 with 2.05 available without the stick! The stick is unlimited! I searched android smart TV devices and see most are 8gb.

Was about to ask if anybody has tried expanding the internal storage on their H+/J4's yet, here are the instructions for the Shield TV Pro (which also ships with Android TV). If this works, all you would need is a drive like this off of amazon to give each device 128GB+ storage.
 
As I am going through and adding apps and longing into providers, I am seeing more and more crashing apps. To resolve this, you can go into setting then into all apps and try force stopping the ones crashing. And or I have re booted the Plus box. DO NOT clear cash in the storage it removes all login information to all APPs then you start over again! I also see when activating a app a new question "what device you are using" select android tv.
