Terrible call to DiSH

[John2021]

time to upgrade your sets!!! while DISH rarely has 4K content.. nothing like a good 4K bluray player and t.v. with 4k and HDR with dolby vision with amazing surround sound that immerse one into a movie . if your sets don't support 4K no worries none of the hoppers or joeys will output in 4k resoloution

Then why's it called a "4k Joey"?

Can a hopper be placed in a location with no tv and have wiring (or wifi) run to multiple sets, and if joeys needed (for add'l same-time users) can they be placed away from TVs as well? Like just stack all needed rx boxes on a shelf in a utility closet, like a system headend.

Yes the hopper can be placed anywhere but you will need a small t.v. atleast for the guy to set it up!!! also you will need a small screen for things like checking signal strength since functions like that can't be done on the joeys

You could do that, Hopper3 and Joeys in a utility closet with HDMI cables from each receiver to the TV locations. There would probably be some restrictions on copper HDMI lengths though. There are fiber HDMI cables available for longer distances. The biggest issue I see is the remotes at the TV locations. I just tested my 54 remotes for different receivers. I went about 60' away from the receivers going through several walls and I could control the married receivers from that distance. YMMV in different circumstances. There are extenders available for those kinds of issues.

So yes, you can do what you ask.

Beats me, not in my wheelhouse. I just know they are available for use. As always, do your legwork in advance.

why don't you want it connected to the internets . just to for warn you they might want to remote in if you need support. plus you can do things like pay your dish acct right through the hopper or a joey via the my dish app.. if it's connected to the internets..
