I am replacing Hopper with HwS, Monday.
Thanks to DIRT for the quick delivery. No Saturday UPS here.
What order should I use for setting up the new one?
This should apply to any change out of DVRs. There is more you can do with Hopper.
(1) From the menus save the timers (and settings, maybe) in the remote.
Back up would be to write them down.
BTW, can you back up or download through a Joey?
Should be able to back up to new remote as well, if they send one.
(2) Do Yellow button + Remote Manager and record TV code, etc.
(3) Unload all shows to be saved to External Hard Drive(s). Allow many hours.
(4) Connect new recorder to dish and take initial download.
(5) Transfer remote settings to new and verify that timers and other choices are OK.
(6) Wait a day or two to let things settle in? Apps may take longer. Meanwhile,
(7) After new recordings work, unload the volatile recordings--those to watch and delete.
So what things have I forgotten?

P.S. forgot to ask about when to add Joey to system? -K
