I just completed self install of 2H/1J system yesterday. Hoppers installed and went fine, and I verified Client ID before Joey installation. Joey went through wizard, connected to Hopper no problem. Here is where it got weird:
When trying to watch live tv, the Joey shows 015 - acquiring satellite, and after a few seconds it switches from showing sat 110 or 119 or 129 to X, and the corresponding transponder. I can view DVR content from hopper on joey, as well as EHD content, but not a tuner on a satellite feed. I haven't tried on Demand stuff or anything else.
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I have contacted Dish, and we went through the obligatory resets, verified RG6, node issues etc, and they scheduled a service call for Monday. I thought I would see if anyone here had any insight or thoughts...[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I've also seen some strangeness with the EHD on 1 hopper. I have an older 250gb WD Mybook that I had connected to my 722 and used for years with no problems. Anticipating the upgrade, I transferred shows from the 722, plugged in to hopper, and all seemed well. However, while watching anything from EHD, ~10 minutes in, the recording starts to get choppy, and playback stops, says end of recording. The hopper properly shows the length at 1:04, but I can only watch part of it. Watching the same recording off the Joey with no problems. I thought it may be that it is an older, slower drive, but seeing it on the Joey is just strange. BTW, other hopper with new 2TB WD shows no problems. Any ideas?[/FONT]
