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)...

Dish has no idea what-so-ever how a Hopper would perform in a moving vehicle since they have never tested one in this environment. Dish does what Dish does based upon the fact that the hardware will be installed in a home. So, if you want to install one in an RV, they say you cannot do this. The reality is that lots of RVer have Hoppers and Joeys in lots of RVs. How do you argue with that?
Now, only you can decide what's right for you. My Genie is the only true comparison that I can speak to directly. It has a 1TB hard drive and it's been working without issue in my coach for over a year. Others have reported that they have Hopper/Joey setups in their coach for even longer but I do not know if they move as much as we do. I have over 12,000 miles on our coach since I installed my Genie.
Please don't confuse any information I post as my being concerned what you do. Do what you feel good about. If you don't think it's a good idea to install a Hopper in your RV, please DO NOT DO IT.
