I am moving into a new house and I need to add a Joey, but it needs to be wireless. I was hoping to hold off until the 4K Joey comes out, but will it be wireless? Also any news on how much longer until it comes out?

I was afraid of that. The way Dish installed the Duo Node at the new place makes getting coax to the room I want it in very difficult. Part of the problem is a totally unreasonable HOA with regards to running a cable up the side of a house to the attic.
Can I do a tap by the Hopper input to pull the cable from there? Would hardwired Cat 5e or Cat 6 ethernet work instead?
I'm betting your answers will come when the product becomes available. Until then, plan for something hardwired.
Hoping that anything wireless is the answer to any time-dependent data transmission is likely to lead to disappointment.
OK, but putting in a tap right before my Hopper and running the Client line to the other location should work correct? Would it be possible to just run it over ethernet?
No one really knows until it comes out and more info is released for it. All we know now is there is going to be a 4K Joey.
For a current Joey the Tap would be the only supported method, but via the LAN over Cat5 or Wireless USB adapter both work just fine.
A Tap will almost certainly work for a 4K Joey as that would still be Moca and supported infrastructure.
I'd expect Cat5 will still work on an unsupported basis, but wouldn't bet on it. Wireless USB is questionable. But again, until it ships no one will likely know for sure.

Thank you. I just wanted to understand the options. I can do a tap, but it's not completely optimal. I may try the ethernet first, but I wanted to know if it was a completely a waste of time. I didn't think the question was that complex, but maybe people just got focused on the 4K Joey bit because of the thread title I used.
Do you suppose that DISH would stoop to DIRECTV's level and look for the MoCA adapter as part of the network setup? That would be crass.
No. Shipping UHD hardware does not imply a goal or a deadline for anything other than the technology.
We dont even receive 1080p as of yet im paying top dollar and only receive 1080i and you guys are contemplating 4k im i missing something? ??
