Does the Hopper UHF remote ever have problems where you press a button ONE SINGLE TIME, yet the [redacted] piece of [redacted] proceeds to act as if you had pressed the button 17 or maybe 142 times?
Specific interest as to whether you have this problem in relation to how many 2.4 GHz WiFi networks are in your area. I would imagine here that most posters here are probably homeowners, but I have had DISH in various apartments. Apartments being closer together, and with virtually everyone having a wireless network, this causes severe pollution on 2.4 GHz. I operate my own WiFi primarily on 5 GHz because of this.
My understanding is that the UHF remote used on both the 922 and Hopper operates on 2.4 GHz. My remarks concerning that are primarily along the lines of "anyone who thought that was a good idea should be subject to execution".
I don't really want to hear "Oh, move the DVR, oh, blah, other suggestion I've already read 492 times". It doesn't matter where you put the damn DVR when you have 37 neighbors doing god knows what to the poor 2.4 GHz band at all hours of the day. Oh, and at my new apartment, across the street, there's a Motel 6, another hotel brand I forgot, and another hotel brand I forgot. And they all crap over 2.4 GHz as well.
I don't know what frequency the UHF remote that came with a 501 used - but I literally NEVER had a SINGLE problem with that. I thought the damn thing was magic - you could change the channel from the mailbox. But it was a long time ago, I was in high school and still lived at home, which was a house (but we did have a WiFi network, first one on the block I'd figure).
Almost no one uses 900 MHz now. It's perfect for remotes.
