Those of you with a 2 hopper setup

[BrownHound]

Do you have PTAT going on both hoppers, or just on one of them???

I assume when the hoppers can be linked only having on one would be necessary since you can access recordings on either hopper.

I have PTAT going on both.

 

[sparc]

most are doing just one or zero (on this forum). If you have a joey in the mix, then you could place that in the most common location for now until the integration happens as they can switch back and forth between hoppers.

I have our Joey hooked up to the Hopper that is not used a lot, works out well for us

I don't have it enabled on either. Most of the shows that I watch are on the cable networks.

Same.

Just on one for me

Just on one for me.
Sharing content between Hoppers is coming soon

Just on one, the second Hopper is strictly for live viewing.

For now, Hoppers can't share with each other, only with Joeys. If you need to view PTA on both Hoppers, then you need it enabled on each. Hopper content sharing is reportedly coming in a month "starting with a J" when having PTA on only one Hopper will be needed.

Only on 1 here.

I run both, one for me, the other for her......

I record PTAT on both.

My reasons as well for running PTAT on both

 

[hojni]

Until full Hopper integration arrives, I keep both Hoppers attached to the main household TV; Joeys everywhere else so content from both Hoppers is viewable on all TVs. When we have full Hopper integration, I plan to move one of the Hoppers to the last TV in the house. So, I don't need to run PTAT on both, but do because of periodic reliability issues with both the Hopper and PTAT. Just last night, Hopper #2 locked up and went into a 30 minute integrity test - glad I had Hopper #1 recording PTAT also. When things stabilize, I will go to PTAT on one Hopper only to free up a live tuner.

 

[Scherrman]

I use PTAT on both of my Hoppers. I want to make sure I don't miss any show no matter what TV I'm watching. Once integration is available I will just have it on one.

 

[CubsWin]

I only have PTAT enabled on my 2nd Hopper, and I rarely use it. At this point, is really just a fail safe for me if I happen to miss a network recording on my primary Hopper.

I have PTAT enabled on both Hoppers now. When the Hoppers get the update so they can see each other, then I will go down to having only 1 enabled.
