I have a Hopper3 and a wireless Joey. If I use the hopper to select a recorded show from my external drive, a popup occurs stating something about the drive spinning up. This popup appears on the Joey as well. After the popup clears , the Joey exits whatever show is being watched and goes back to live TV. In addition, after the popup clears on the hopper, the selected show appears in the upper right corner of the screen as if you had the guide open, but the rest of the screen is blank. I think if I hit info a couple of times it will restore the screen on the hopper. The Joey watcher has to go select whatever program it was watching.
