Called dish and they said Ch 540 and 147-5 are in Sat 129 and 72.7 which are not available in Puerto Rico .
Why are so many people chasing hardware issues when it is quite clear this is Dish software blocking?
Even my 1080 tv wants to play the 4kHDR recording from H3 dvr but has a Dish software error-message block.

My 1080 tv connect to H3,
wants to show the dvr'd 4kHDR program,
Somehow down converted?
by either 1080tv or H3?
Shows program behind grey window and error message tile.
Error message forced by dish software on otherwise playable content.

Depending on how your house is wired, it might be possible in certain cases to swap the Hopper and the 4K Joey.
That’s what I did. Had to sacrifice one of the bedrooms though.
Don’t do that unless you have a really good understanding of how the Hopper MoCA wiring works!
It depends on your wiring. In my case it wasn't that simple: I had to deal with taps, splitters and also the OTA antenna cable.If I wanted to swap one of my 4K-Joey's with the H3, isn't it just a simple unhook the cables and swap, then reattach the cables?

Actually, you can do exactly that, but you also need to find the node and swap the two cables at that end also, so that the Hopper is connected to the host port and the Joey is on a client port. (If your setup is more complicated than a single node with Hopper and Joey connected to it, your mileage may vary)If you mean can you just unhook one box and carry it into the other room and hook it up the answer is no. Joey's use client lines and Hopper's use host lines and they are very different.

On the splitter, there is an input (Dish feed) one Host and two client outputs.
Will I have a problem just swapping the H3 (Host Feed) to a client feed if I swap box location...Sure seems like I wouldn't have a problem unless the splitter has some electronic thingamajig instead of just pass thru?
H3 & 2 4KJ's.
The Hopper 3 needs a single RG6 rated at 3Ghz directly from the host port on the hub to the receiver.
If all of your lines are 3Ghz RG6 and go directly from the TV locations to the hub then all you'd have to do is isolate which line is from the 4K Joey that you want to move and swap it and the Hopper line at the hub. If your lines aren't up to specs or if you have splitters in the line(s) then it gets more complicated.
If I get the urge tomorrow I'll swap just to see what is what!
Let us know if you need any more advice but be careful if you have doubts. Good luck.
That's exactly what I was trying to say.The Hopper 3 needs a single RG6 rated at 3Ghz directly from the host port on the hub to the receiver.

*lines=wires or cables
