We could use some in-home advice on our Dish installation. We've always had poor remote reception in our house since we've moved in 3 years ago. I've tried all the advice you guys have given me, but we still have significant trouble controlling the receiver with the remotes from various rooms in the house.
We've been thinking about getting the Hopper for some time, but we have a number of questions:
1) Will the coax need to be upgraded to make it work? If so, we would want the new coax fished thru the wall to the outlet
2) Will we still have remote issues with the Hopper?
3) Do we have to get a bunch of Joeys to mitigate the remote issues (which come with monthly fees)? There are only 2 of us in the house and we generally watch the same thing (but not always). We also like to have the same show on throughout the house as we move around doing projects/chores.
4) How many Hopper/Joeys/RF modulators do we need to pipe the TV throughout the house?
In the past when I've upgraded equipment by calling Dish, the installer is typically in a hurry. They are there to do the specific hardware upgrade and move on.....not consult, spend time fussing with remotes, or fish coax thru walls and under the house. As noted on thus forum many times, calling the help line is useless.
I live in Seattle. Are there people who will come out and help us address these issues/questions (and fish coax if necessary)? Would these be people who actually work for Dish or a 3rd party retailer? I'm only interested in Dish and no other provider (got to have the Pac12 Network).
