Terrible call to DiSH

[John2021]

So the Joey itself has no tuners but enables use of one of the Hopper Duo's 2 tuners by a 2nd user in HD? I would thusly allege that calling that Hopper, by itself, a Duo could be misleading. A combo of Hopper Duo plus Joey could be unitarily considered a Duo system. To me, as I've previously opined, that's a step backward from being able to support 2 users out of a single box- I was actually expecting them to progress to like 4 users (Quattro?) or essentially whole home/1unit. But I suppose having both Duo users in HD is still something of a plus.

The joey's use a tuner from the main hopper the joeys don't have any tuners in them.. i don't know about the super joey though since it adds 2 tuners!!! and won't work with the hopper 3

The point is to NOT only have 1 box to support two users so that both users have an HD picture with all the same options at both TVs

i thought the point was also to avoid paying the mirror fee as well for the second room

Think about how you would feed an HD signal to the second TV. HDMI everywhere?

try recording with a duo when two tv's are being used even a hopper with sling is cut throat unless for a single person with one tv... the hopper 3 is the way to go it's upgradeable and expandable if need be. never any recording conflicts

Do you have to reply to every post?

I avoid the second tv fee and can still watch in HD(720P) by using a firestick and dishanywhere.

Possibly, or HD over coax, cat5, etc.

The point is to NOT only have 1 box to support two users so that both users have an HD picture with all the same options at both TVs

But the progression could have been to have TV2 (and possibly TVs 3 & 4) be in HD along with adding more tuners; both users already had "all the same options" with a Duo unit as far as usability.
