DISH Releases the Super Joey
See this Satellite Guys thread. Install Manual: Super Joey Quick Reference (PDF). If you're planning a Hopper install with Joeys, you may want to look at a Super Joey (instead of a plain Joey)...

Bill, correct me if I misunderstood, but was told from satellite equipment rep that using a device with a DVR in it in a motor home that road vibrations would destroy the hard drive. What's your take on this?
First...Use at your own risk.
For me, I have had a DirecTV DVR of some kind in my coach for about 10 years. I have had to replace one once and I think it was issues related to the hard drive but it was easier to pick up a new one for $99 than pursue a repair.
I now have the Genie and it's been running 24/7 for over a year without issue.
With all of that said, the Hopper has a 2 TB hard drive and caution should be exercised when the vehicle is traveling. I recommend the unit be powered off so the hard drive can park itself when the vehicle is moving. If the Hopper is not connected to an inverter, it will power itself down anyway.
