Super vs reg Joey performance

[AlaJoe]

I am getting a new HWS/SJ/J instal saturday. I will have the hopper in my living room where most TV is watched. The others will go in our main and guest bedroom. Looking at things from a standpoint of how long does it take to start fast forwarding after hitting the button or how fast does a channel change. Is There any reason to believe the SuperJoey would be of any significance better than the plain Joey. I want to wall mount the one in the main bedroom and I can not find a superjoey wall mount

SJ is newer and I believe it has an upgraded processor over the original Joey.

Little real life experience is known on SJ due to it only becoming available today. Supposed to be larger than Joey and not recommended for mounting behind TV.

Super Joey's are to be installed laying flat like a Hopper. Not mounted or verticle.

Obviously I have no idea about the SJ, but my Joeys respond fine without any delay what so ever. I think mounting the regular Joey in your bedroom would be fine.

Presumably the Super Joey does not have any local storage. Therefore, if you are watching tuner from the Super Joey, on the Super Joey, it has to be transferred to the Hopper (MoCA) for buffering, and back for viewing (MoCA again).

I would be interested in what the performance is like. It might be a bit tricky to force the SJ to use the local tuner. Perhaps setup recordings on the hopper so that it is forced to use a local tuner. However, that might be harder than it sounds.

My Super Joey was installed today. I really like it. The menu scrolling and channel changing is way faster.

That's why it's called SUPER JOEY.

Menus are quicker. Skip ahead and back are slightly faster than the regular Joey too. Not as good as watching off the Hopper itself, but that's to be expected.

Does Dish give a reason ? I presume something related to heat dissipation.... I'll bet it can stand up like the regular Joey, but then people will take that further and want to stand it "up" behind a wall-mounted TV, which I can understand why they don't want that.

I don't know the technical reason. I just know that is what was in the training.

You got it, heat dissipation

Its way too tall to stand up, if it falls, it will most likely damage the components, including the power supply inside. The reg joey is not as tall, so its more stable upright and has an external power supply.
