I usually plug in the hopper3 1st and then plug in the Plus a minute or so later.

It is not necessary to reboot the Hopper 3. Disconnect power from the Plus and move the HDMI cable from the Plus and plug it into the Hopper3, it will come on with error screen, wait 10 to 20 minutes and the Hopper3 will resume it's normal operation. You can disconnect the USB connector from...

Nice to hear from you, it's always nice to have your updates.

Yes I couldn't see signal strength with the Plus connected but didn't know about the recall/info trick. Will give that a try.

Also if you disconnect the Plus and go back to just the Hopper3 the signal strength will show up, but that is kind of a pain to go through all that to see the signal strength.

on the 54 remotes you can program the diamond and double diamond buttons on the lower portion of the remote to various functions.

On Saturday at 4:30 540-01 shows USFL Football (JIP) and 540-02 shows USFL Football. What does the (JIP) mean?

Just push the "Back" button on the remote and goes to Dish.

Thanks Scott, that explains why my locals off the satellite went missing just a little after 10:00 pm here on the west coast, it would be nice if they sent out a notice or waited until primetime was done on the west coast. Bob

All the recordings are on the Hopper 3 and the Joey just remotes into to them. You can setup, watch, delete recordings from the Joey but they are all held on the Hopper. He is correct about the folder thing, she would also have all access to the folders, yours and hers.

Music channels are 98-01 and 98-07. Past Holiday Dish scapes are on 96-00.

You can try holding your hand in front of the remote to block the I.R. signal from turning off your TV and then you can just turn of the Joey 4 which uses a wireless signal not I.R..
