Joey and EHD?

[Bohemian]

I noticed the Joey has a USB port on it. I assume you could put a EHD on it as well as the hopper?

No, you can only put one on a Hopper.

The Joey does not have a tuner so an EHD would do nothing.

It would be nice to watch recordings from it on a Joey.

So the USB port has no use to the consumer?

Not yet.

You don't need a tuner to play back existing media. I would think most of the important hardware is already in the Joey.

It will take the wireless dongle and attach to the network, which IIRC will allow full DLNA from the Joey.

Or a (not officially supported) completely wireless Joey.

Just hook the EHD to the Hopper. Can still see/manage it from the linked Joey.

I was going for multiple EHDs connected.

There's three USB ports on the Hopper. Also can get a powered USB hub.
