Considering switchover to Dish

No need to have both Hoppers connected to Ethernet. The Joeys don't need Ethernet connectivity either if they are on MoCA. Just connect 1 Hopper to Ethernet and enable bridging. It will then share the Internet connection with all the receivers on the MoVA network. 3 Hoppers and 2 Joeys here connected in that fashion. Works great.

This still causes problems for me, if set up this way my Hoppers and my network become unstable.

So that makes this a little challenging. It sounds like the only way I can manage both Hoppers is to do it from a Joey, or from each Hopper individually. Now I need to give some serious thought as to where I locate my Joey's versus my Hoppers. Originally I thought I'd locate a Hopper in my living room as that is where we watch most tv. Now I'm wondering if I should instead put a Joey there so that I can manage both Hoppers from my living room. How is everyone else doing this ??

This is the setup I went with. I put a Joey in the Family Room where most of our TV watching happens. You do lose PIP but I don't use that feature anyway.
