Dex- Did you get the slingbox so you can stream your DVR to your bionic or watch live tv on your phone? We got the Dish Hopper and 2 Joey's setup a few weeks ago and love it! We did not get the slingbox because we couldn't think of a lot of use for it. Anyway, now we are only paying about $60 for whole home DVR service on 3 HDTVs vs paying $120 for 2 DVRs and 1 cable box on the same 3 HDTVs. Saving $60/month and we can now watch our shows in any room we please. The guy who came to do the install wasn't too happy that I didn't want the cable (its actually 2 cables and a ground wire in one so it's thick) running down the side of my house. I pulled it into my attic and down to the basement. He was just gonna run it right down the side of the house. No thank you!
 
How did they come up with those stupid names...Hopper and Joey??
Haha, they are kind of foolish but my guess is that the hopper "holds" all of the recordings just like your pellet stove hopper holds all of your pellets. And the Joey relies on the mother Hopper to display the recordings on other tvs.

No... I didnt get it.. But I do love how it stores all prime time (locals) in Queue for almost 2 weeks.
That saves a lot of time. Also opend up more possibilities for recording other shows on premium channels.

I like it though. Still takin time to get fully adjusted. But its very similar to the HD set-up we had. Just a lot more options... ;)
