Dish Network Hopper Shared viewing? - Bassss - 05-04-2013 01:28 AM

We just got the dish hopper with 2 joey receivers. The dish hopper is connected to the main Living Room tv. The other 2 joey receivers are on their own tv's in seperate bedrooms.

Whenever i change the channel on the tv in bedroom 1, it changes with the main living room tv and says something about 'shared viewing'.

How do i disable this so each tv can watch its own channel without interfering with the other tv's?

Hello Bassss, You can press the red key which will allow you to see if there is an available tuner. The Hopper has three tuners. If you are using multiple tuners to record this may leave you with limited options. For example if you have Primetime Anytime activated and then you are also recording on another tuner this only leaves you one tuner available to watch live TV. Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Thank You

Looks like your running in to tuner conflics i would give dish a call and ask to swap out a joey for another Hopper i would do it now tho that would give you 6 tuners total. I have 2 hoppers and a joey. i would give dish a call and explain to them
