Depends on what you have - I had the HWS which I updated but I also had a H2K - I knew going in that they wouldn't talk to each other. Just so you know.
Absolutely not. Dish will not maintain (2) software forks for the same device, nor should they.

I really didn't notice much difference with performance but maybe someone who is currently using Carbon with the HWS & Joey(s) could speak better on the subject.
Thanks for the input I think I'll do the update today then. I'm excited for the new ui. When I switched from fios to the hopper the only thing I missed about fios was I thought the ui on fios looked much nicer and carbon ui seems to take care of that
There's no going back once you switch but that will be a non-issue soon I guess. as it sounds like all newer Hoppers will have Carbon.
I have a Joey 1 and other than the DVR menu, I can't I've noticed any slowdown.
Now, it does take up to 10 seconds for that menu to load. It's too bad it doesn't do a progressive load here. As it is, you get the small line of blocks indicating that it's loading and then it all appears at once. Anything that requires a refresh of that screen is slow too, for instance, if you delete an event.

Thanks, so far the HWS has been running just as smooth as ever. The joey still runs at its sluggish self. It doesn't seem any slower than normal.
Glad you got it running - and it sounds like your experience is about the same as mine.
Only issue I've ran into is tuner 3 stays on the locals thru the satellite as if ptat is running all the time.
It is, except when you record something to a non PTAT channel in non PTAT hours. So, in non PTAT hours you still have access to all three tuners.
