And, if you have two hoppers (I have five home TVs)are Joeys tied to a specific Hopper box or can you mix and match when going out on the road?
Joeys can be "linked" or "unlinked" to any Hopper on your network by using a Joey's online menu system. (Just a side note -- Hopper/Joey networks can be created where everything sees everything else or where they cannot.)
BTW, if you can afford it, buy multiple Hoppers instead of Hopper/Joey combos because you end up with more tuners. Initial pop for Hopper is more than a Joey, but lease fees are the same.
Here's a link to a set a Hopper/Joey RV network diagrams I created that might be of interest.
