Can a Hopper watch a live feed from another Hopper?

[johnjohn2k]

I have a new setup 2 H 2 J, es re one on each Hopper. Kids already have t recordings taking the 2 tuners and then are watching the 3rd, the second hopper is open but I can't seem to find a way to connect to it if possible.

Thanks

The short answer is no that is not possible. You can view recordings on one Hopper with another but you cannot 'grab' a tuner from it as you can with a Joey.

That stinks. thanks for the response.

Spread out the recordings between the two. That's what I do. Or tell the kids to watch something they already recorded. Apparently they already have plenty. lol

The Joey does what you want to do.

Yes, that's why some people have a an additional Joey imputed to one of their Hopper connected TVs so they can link to the other. Extra expense, but worth it some.

Also, you can watch another Hopper's tuner by recording a channel. Then on the other Hopper, select the recording, and click "Live TV" and voila now you're using the other Hopper's tuner.

I might go the extra Joey route or get rid of one kid,, lol

Might be cheaper to drop one kid.
