Hopper Plus / Joey 4 users check in here!

Toggle sidebar
Part of the software for the Hopper + and Joey 4's is stored and installed from your Hopper 2 or 3. The Hopper + and Joey 4's download from there.

However there is another part of the software that is part of the Android platform which is needed to operate your Hopper + and Joey 4's and that software is sent over the internet.

You can get updates on your Hopper + ad Joey 4's without the available software shown ever changing on those devices.

Confused yet? :D

Yep totally confused. All I know is I am tired of the black screen issues. Constantly having to reboot. My Joey 4s somehow went from P507/P607 to P510/P610 on 19 Nov 22. There is no improvement. I have company coming and I need the P512/P612 that I hear fixes the black screen issues. I may have to swap my Joey 4s back to my purchased WJs that were rock solid.

I mean it won't let me click/select the start now button. It is grayed out. Finally I got the start now button to work by changeing the screen saver setting from Turn screen off to Backdrop. However, my Joey still does not go into stanby mode. Constant green lite stays on.

3 things #1..Don't believe the [ Put Device to sleep setting ] it goes to sleep #2..The green light always stays on #3..Change the screen saver setting to colors[ I think it is less taxing on the system ]

He is trying to get his Plus to update. In order to update the device needs to go into a sleep or standby he was told. I noticed the VIP211s did similar they will not update until turned off

I don't own a Joey4 but I find it hard to believe that the green power light stays on when the Joey4 is in standby mode. All other Dish receivers have the power light go off when in standby mode. Can a Joey4 owner check this out.

DISH Support. What is taking so long to receive software updates P512/P612 for my Joey 4s? Updates have been out for a while. I talked to a supposedly level 4 Joey 4 specialist yesterday and he said the Joeys have to be in standby mode. He wasn't aware the Joey 4s don't go into standby when the TV is turned off. Is there some way to put Joey 4s into standby mode?

You can put Joeys into standby mode from the Hopper in Options/TV Activity by clicking on any that are on and selecting power off.

As you know the Joey 4s get the update from the Hopper. Both my H3s still have P510/P610. Loyalty department sent a hit today to see if they would update to P512/P612. No luck yet.

A hit won't do it. You COULD try a factory reset, but I don't know what that will do to your settings, recordings, etc
