Since the moderator closed the thread without giving me an opportunity to reply I will answer your questions here...
-The hopper in the basement was apparently linked to 1 joey and the one in the living room was connected to another. I was told when it was installed that I needed TWO hoppers since I had 3 joeys. I did not question this because....Well I thought they knew what they were doing. I knew the units were on my bill, I just didn't know I did not need them until my friend looked at the install (because I had a hopper sitting in the basement plugged into the coax, but not to any TV's....So it was being used by a joey. It wasn't just sitting un-used, it wasn't needed because that hopper can handle 3 joeys. I was told 2.
-The hole on the side of the house is #1 Small, and #2 on the second floor on the back corner of the house and not very noticeable unless you look right at it.
-The spare bedroom was rarely used, and no one ever complained that the TV dd not work. I don't make a habit of just walking in a spare bedroom to check if my TV is working.
-The 278 recordings on the basement hopper are because it is connected to another TV, through a Joey. Once again I was told I needed that setup because I had 3 joeys. The hopper sits on the floor of my unfinished basement. I have another Hopper in my living room. and then 3 joeys.
I hope this at least answers some questions. I am not a super-tech guru and was with Dish a long time. I guess this forum is only for folks who love Dish.
And I didn't reach out to a DIRT? member because I don't know what that is, or how I am supposed to.
