joey looking for hopper

[Jamie57]

Got my 2 hopper 3 joey system installed today. I have been watching tv all night from hopper unit with no problems. But when i started watching from a joey unit about every 10 to 15 minutes it says "looking for hopper to link to" then reconnects. Anyone else having this problem?

The name of this thread sounds like a personal ad on craigslist.

I watched hours of the NCAA tournament from a Joey and had no glitches.

Make sure all associated, unused coax jacks in the house are capped with 75ohm terminators.

Are you using HCM, in that case make sure your home router is not doing something messy with IP addresses.
Someone pointed out if you have lots of devices getting DHCP from your router make sure to increase the range for safty.

Probably easier to just cap unused ports at the node directly.

Well all unused ports are capped. I will mess with my router and see if that fixes it. Although it seems to be working fine so far today.
