Joey Bluetooth Giveaway Details

[dwarren2]

How did you try to install it. I had no problem. Did you turn on the BT seek in the head phone or speaker?

 

[Papa47]

It never showed up on the Joey settings screen as enabling Bluethooth.

 

[dwarren2]

Did you go to Settings/Blutooth and select Find Devices and put your headphones in Bluetooth set up mode?
Follow the sheet of instructions that Scott sent with the dongle.

 

[Papa47]

Followed the instructions, but when I went to menu/settings, the Bluethooth Icon does not show up. Tried it on second Joey with same results. Neither Joey recognized it as being installed. Rebooted both boxes and that didn't help either.

Has anyone tried ordering one thru a CSR? I chatted with one for about 15mins and finally said they don't have any and need to call a local dealer to get them? Thanks!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope I am trying to get some too... One of the people who won one did not get one. And I promised him he would get one so I am working to get him one.

 

[dwarren2]

Hmm. Hopper 2K or HWS? If it's a 2K, ask Scott if it works with that receiver.

 

[fuzzfacefrombboard]

I can verify that it works with Joey on Hopper 2K.

Dish installers have them on their trucks now. I had a 2nd one installed the other day, so now both of my Joeys have one.

Some but, not all of them. Customer Service insisted on setting a (free) service call for me to get a couple & the 1st company they set up an appointment to do it called me asking about "my problem" and had never heard of the Joey Bluetooth Adapter. That installer got back with Dish & rescheduled a different company to do it. They too called and after some digging, found they indeed had the parts although they were unaware until we spoke. Tech showed up, watched me saddle them up, thanked me & left. I can't imagine why you can't just buy them & be done with it - seems Dish is wasting money on service calls for a nickel & dime part.

They probably will in the near future, but probably wanting to make sure the techs have them first and will probably sell them as a smart home service for new connects.
