Multi view comes to Hopper Plus and Joey 4 Receivers!

[tornado]

Before the Multiview update on the Joey 4, my Hopper 3 would sometimes have issues with MultiView.
Different quadrants would stop displaying or similar issues after extreme extended viewing, changing, and swapping.
I also use OTA on my Hopper 3.
I don't think OTA helped and may have contributed to the MultiView issues.
In contrast MultiView on the Joey 4 seems rock solid for me.
The Android Joey 4 is newer and better period than the Hopper 3.
Better newer software?
I haven't had a single issue with MultiView since the MultiView update on the Joey 4.
Maybe now because I'm getting my MultiView on the Joey 4 I'm doing less MultiView on the Hopper 3 and therefore haven't been experiencing any issues doing MultiView on Hopper 3 with less MultiViewing or MultiView could have improved on the Hopper 3.
I would say MultiView is more solid on the Android Joey 4 than the Hopper 3 was.

Months ago before the MultiView update for the Joey 4 and I had no Idea the MuliView updates were coming for the Android boxes, I simplified and disconnected my secondary Hooper 3 going down to using one Hopper 3.
I got rid of all of my 4K Joeys. Good riddance.
I kept my Joey 4.
My Dish Network Dish is connected to a the Dish Pro Hybrid 34 Switch going to a Dish Hybrid Solo Hub which currently runs only two tvs.
Since I do OTA so my Hopper 3 has 18 tuners.
At this time MultiView works great all the time with absolutely no problems at all.
I am able to do simultaneous MultiView on the Joey 4 and the Hopper 3.
I figured that if you have multiple Joey 4s that you might not be able to do MultView on more than one at the same time.
My Joey 4 is connected to an old 65 inch LG C7 oled. The HDR picture is great from the Joey 4. I don't think it needs SDR. Looks great.
My system is unbelievably great now with the MultiView update on the Joey 4.
Just lucky I guess?

I'm gonna get a new set next month. I love MULTI-VIEW and need a little more screen real estate for the 4 squares. Do you feel the 85" is the sweet spot in terms of size, or a 100", which might be overkill and dominate any great room?

Depends on the room. 75-85 is good for most. 100' tends to be overkill unless you are about 12 feet back from the screen. My 85 is in a great room, and sometimes I can be watching from the dining table. About 15' away.

My man cave has a 75, and I'm only about 6 -7 feet from the screen depending on the location in the room.

Is your Joey multi-view working ok?

Yes.... works fine. I can do Multi-View on both the Hopper 3 and the Joey4 at the same time. Only one Joey4 at a time though.

Thanks. My Hoppers & Joeys Muti-view are intermittent. When I go into Multi-view mode they work for about three seconds and then go into single mode.

Multi-view mode they work for about three seconds and then go into single mode.

I now have a simplified my system.
On the Dish side I would say your system is about as complex as it gets. This new feature may be having difficulty with the complexity of your system. Just my two cents. Perhaps someone else knows more.

For Navychop - my TiVo Roamio was caught recording 3 channels at the same time - you can see the three record lights lit up in red. See, it can be done.

Your going to make a grow man cry. lol

i wonder if the hopper plus has the multi view in it yet

 

[charlesrshell]

Yes it does

 

[Arctic_fox]

Yes it does

so it now does the 4 pip

 

[charlesrshell]

Yes and so does a standalone Hopper and the Joey 4s.

Hopefully it works correctly in the near future as you seem to need a Multi-view mode lock or something. While we know Multi-View mode is one Wired/Wireless Joey 4, what we don't know is if that is one Wired/Wireless Joey 4 per Hopper 3 or if it's one Wired/Wireless Joey 4 total if there are multiple Hopper 3's.

we have a wired joey 4's and multi view works!!!! have no idea on the wireless joeys though

WJ4s have Multi-view too.

That's obvious. I am saying if one can have two Joey 4's, each connected to a different Hopper 3 and if it is limited to one Joey 4 with Multi-View at a time only or will both Joey 4's whether it is wired or wireless will work at the same time since in this scenario, they would be connected to different Hopper 3's and not just one Hopper 3 which will only allow one wired/wireless Joey 4 at a time for Multi-View.

That's what she said!

I can watch Multi-view with two Joey 4s at the same time. One WJ4 is linked to my H3 and my J4 is linked to my H3+. So only one Multi-view per Hopper..
