(VIDEO) DISH Super Joey -vs- Joey Size

[Scott Greczkowski]

This video shows you the size difference between a DISH Joey and Super Joey and explains why the Super Joey is bigger.

It looks like they just took a standard size chassis for the Super Joey.

Could they have brought the size down significantly by going external?

It's smaller then the Hopper.

And they can't do an external power supply as then it would need two power supplies going into the box as the Joey circuitry uses it's own power and the tuner portion uses it's own at higher voltage.

Anyone else disappointed with the fact that it is so much bigger than the original Joey? Makes it tough to hide it behind a wall mounted TV... Regardless, I want one & will make it work!

Well, if the size bothered you that much, you could just get another plain Joey, or use a Virtual Joey.

This will be replacing an original Joey, that is currently hidden behind a wall mounted TV. For an extra $3 per month I want the additional two tuners (assuming it is $10 per month as people are speculating).

Doesn't bother me at all. It's a receiver with two tuners, I wouldn't expect it to be much smaller
