DISH Makes TV Easy with New Hopper Plus™

[BTL140]

Yep did all that and watched some tv for about an hour with hdmi plugged back into hopper, then tried the plus again. No go. I am leaning towards keeping the new wireless Joey 4’s since they work great and get rid of the hopper plus since its on a newer OLED tv with all the smart features anyway.

Dish tech offered to send me a new plus unit or call dish and return it if I don’t want to keep it. I would like to here from some of the people on this forum who have been testing it for a while, I don’t want the constant hdr to effect my picture. Am I better off just keeping the new wireless joey 4’s on my non 4K tvs and sending the plus unit back for my 4K tv?

I would get the replacement Hopper Plus make sure it works and then unhook it until the issues are worked out. The Hopper Plus is not costing you anything on your monthly bill to have it. Keep the Joey 4s hooked up since it's not affecting you on those TVs

They have both wired and wireless Joey 4s

But no HDR/Dolbyvision.

True, probably not worth sending back to try and get 50 bucks back. Pick your battles

But no HDR/Dolbyvision.

I am not aware that wireless Joey 4s don't have HDR capability.

But no HDR/Dolbyvision.

HDR yes
Dolby Vision no on joey or hopper +

 

[clone1008]

HDR yes
Dolby Vision no on joey or hopper +

Actually Dolby Vision is a form of HDR. HDR10 which is also HDR is what the units are displaying with no capability of Dolby Vision at the moment.

Apart from being royalty-free, HDR10 has only static metadata and 10-bit color depth whereas Dolby Vision has dynamic metadata and 12-bit color.

Scott, who has one.

Scott, who has one.

Got to be honest. At that price With no Dolby Vision or Dolby Atmos it’s not worth it at that price.

Scott mentioned no Dolby Vision. The wireless Joey 4 has HDR10 which is a different format HDR.

For all you folks with arrows in your back: Thank you for saving me the grief and the coin of the realm.

Still a deal breaker! An inferior option to what we already have.

I bet the beta testers went thru hell. My hats off to them.

 

[HipKat]

So do you think that would be an issue on a Joey 4 even if you didn’t have the Hopper+? Because I’m not completely sold on adding the + but I definitely want to upgrade my Joey’s.

Dish is not creating work orders for the new Joeys without a Plus

 

[HipKat]

But not on wireless.

Wireless Joey 4's are capable of supporting HDR, I'm pretty sure

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes all of them support HDR. None of the them support Dolby Vision or Atmos. (at this time)

What are you talking about? We are still Beta Testing these things as consumers!!!

Are you saying that the Hopper Plus needs to be connected before calling for issues?

Agreed but you need to get your facts straight when posting information.
