    This is a good design for client tvs. I have had two parties now where we had a joey running a projector by the pool and the joey was running via wifi. So far I am really impressed with this new system.

    If you dont want to reset the unit (scheduled recordings). Go to the settings menu where you can adjust the screen for your tv and zoom the screen in an out until the artifact is removed.

    I was watching Dallas and I about jumped out of chair to choke my children when I saw what appeared to be a cracked screen "chip" in the lower left part of the screen. After changing inputs I was able to verify that it is an artifact that the hopper is showing at all times. I have a fan...

    If you would disconnect the network from the hopper and then connect the HIC to the network as it was designed, then you can hook the joey up only with ethernet. The Joey must be hooked up via its coax for its initial download since the factory firmware did not support the ethernet port. The...

    My only problem was a corrupted on demand download of "the Smurfs" for my kids. The video was acceptable to the kids and wife but it was too choppy and with errors for me.

    I went ahead and kept the moca in place by using a hic to connect to the ethernet switch. I did this just in case DISH decided to drop this "feature" and isolate the video services to the coax moca port on the hopper and joeys. That way you can directly hook hics to each joey and still use...

    Yep. I had the installer install the hopper up like normal. Then I had the installer make some coax jumper cables that were hooked to the joeys so they could be initialized. After the download ethernet was hooked up to them and I have never looked back. one month later and the system is working...

    True it can, but it it happens, then buy a hic for each joey and then hook it up in reverse with the ethernet hooked up in the normal way, and then the coax hooked directly up to the coax input on the joey. Moca is simply a layer 1 (physical layer) tech that utilizes tcpip as the network tech. A...

    That what I figured. You guys are getting a taste of what we experience daily this time of the year in central oklahoma. I though for a bit that it was my new hopper that i keep braggin about.

    Same here, my hopper is d-e-d. Colorado is having some really bad weather. I wonder if it affected them. I think their uplink is in WY.

    I figured that it was not optional and used it, so I am not having any heat issues. I also run a small fan across my hopper and xbox in the equipment rack.

    It could also be QOS issues. I have also had a few hiccups on the joeys. To be quite honest, the flexibility ethernet allows is worth the occasional easy to solve issue. I do not mind "testing" this out at all. I do not want my house having obsolete Rg6 wired all over it. The only time I have...

    It appears that the hopper has issue with dual homing. I have the MoCa network bridged to my ethernet network via the HIC and the hopper was hooked up to the same vlan. It appears the the hopper's moca and ethernet ports are seperate devices with different mac addresses, thus a different ip...
  14. Hopper System Support Forum
    One thing to note, if you do use the ethernet port on the Hopper, remote the HIC. Although they are seperate interfaces, the software in the hopper does not account for dualhoming well and it can cause issues when connecting to Dishonline. Since moca is supposed to be 200 mbit, and the top...

    As I said in the subject, the hopper is configured correctly and works great on the network. However the online apps say that the device is offline. I have seen some posts saying to put the device in the DMZ, but I run an business grade firewall on my network ( no upnp) so what are the...

    I am collecting that data right now. so far the largest data stream was a sustained 4 megabit stream to one of the joeys. The hopper is connected via direct ethernet and moca. Each port has its own mac address and ip address. So far the only problem I have is that I need to manually setup my...

    I had mine installed last friday. 1 hopper/2 joeys. I was a dish customer when the 922 came out and that experience ( 5 922s later) had me switch to DirectTV and eventually I became a cord cutter. I finally bought a house and decided that the hopper tech would be interesting so I decided to...

    Yep. That is what I mean. Slip can be painfully slow at times over mrv, especially since I came from Dish.

    To speed up the 30second skip, turn of the preview mode. This will require that you enable test and advanced features. Check out the cutting edge information section FAQ for more info. Note - You do not have do download a test firmware in order to enable the the skip function. I found...

    I rmemeber reading somewhere that the R22 can act as a MRV server, but not a client.
