Joey upgrade?

[smokey982]

So I have a Hopper 3 and some Joey 2.0 receivers for the bedrooms. I don’t think I’ve ever watched anything on the Joey’s in the few years that we’ve had them. But we recently just finished building a new sunroom so I moved one of the Joey’s out there. Ok my gosh! That thing is so slow compared to my Hopper! Is there a faster version Joey that I can upgrade to? If so, would I have to upgrade all of them or can I upgrade just that one?

A Joey3 is much faster than a Joey2. You can mix Joey types. But I would wait till this summer. Dish is releasing a Joey4 this summer. I don’t know if you need a Hopper+ in order to use a Joey4. Details should be released at Dish Summitt which happens in May.

Has the Hopper+ been released yet? How does it different from the Hopper 3?

No The Hopper+ is supposed to be available this summer.

The H+ is not a standalone Hopper, but rather an adjunct to a H3.

Few living in test areas such as Seattle have started using new Dish products and hopefully they will tell us more.

I never have an issue with 3 Joey2s. To me, they operate as fast as my Hopper3. I wonder if the cable from Hopper to sun room is the issue.

According to my wife and daughter, all of the Joey’s are that slow.

I too am surprised at sktrus' remarks. Perhaps he has J3's and not J2's.

Agree with dweber...the Joey3s are much faster than the Joey2...highly recommended!

If you had a side by side with a Joey 3, you'd see the difference

I have Joey2s that came with Hopper3. Perhaps, I got used to them. It feels a very slight delay when I change channels with Joeys. When Smokey982 mentioned sunroom Joey was very slow I thought it stemmed from some technical issue. I remember some members complaining slower speeds when they relocated their Joeys.
