Can the Hopper do this?

On the 922 & 32.0 remote you could press a certain button sequence (I wish I could find the instructions) and the remote would beep faster the better your you remote signal was and slower when the signal got weaker.

Are the Hopper/Joey & 40.0 remote capable of doing this?

Just tested it, and yes it did work.

-Get system info on the screen (menu twice on remote)
-Hold SAT til all lights are lit
-Press and hold the Input/Recover button for several seconds until the SAT mode light blinks and then stays lit. Then release the Input/Recover button.
-After about five seconds, the remote control will provide feedback on its range to the receiver.

3-4 lights - Remote has a strong signal, well within range.
2 lights - You may want to adjust the antenna.
1 light - Remote may not operate, double check antenna is tight, and adjust if possible.

Hmm, never knew that was even an option. Only problem is there isn't an external antenna on the Hopper or Joeys to adjust so not sure how you would make the signal stronger other than moving the Hopper/Joey itself.

Hopper has a antenna similar to the vip922.....I'm looking at it, the Joey's is internal, which is unfortunate.

You are correct. I just double checked and now I see it. Odd since I am the one that put it on. I was probably so anxious to get it setup I didn't pay much attention to it.

Tested without going to system info screen first, still works the same.
