Connecting the Joey Receiver(s)
C
ONNECTING THE
This section describes how to connect the receiver's H
one or more remote TV(s) located in other room(s) away from the Hopper with Sling HD
DVR. You can use these instructions to connect TVs in your whole home to see live and
recorded programming from the system. This installation uses your in-home coaxial cable
system. If your home does not have built-in cabling, it will be necessary to run these
cables from the Hopper with Sling HD DVR to each Joey Receiver conected to a remote
TV. Due to the potential complexity of the system, you should have it professionally
installed. Call the DISH Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) for more
information.
If you need another remote control, be sure to order the replacement remote-control kit for
the Hopper with Sling HD DVR and Joey Receivers that uses UHF-2G signals. Call your
DISH retailer, or visit the www.mydish.com website, select Upgrades, then Products, and
click on Remote & Accessories.

If it is a high-definition TV or monitor and an HDMI connection is available on the
remote TV, use a single HDMI cable from the output on the back of the Joey Receiver
to provide both high-quality audio and HD/SD video. See page 92.
If it is a standard-definition TV or an HDMI connection is not available on any remote
TV, use composite (yellow) video and (red/white) audio cables from the outputs on the
back of the Joey Receiver. See page 93.
If your picture looks good, then you are finished with this procedure.
If your TVs do not display a picture or if the picture is not as clear as you would like it
to be, repeat the steps to confirm all the connections. All coaxial connections should
be hand-tightened.

Questions and answers
I have a Hopper. I want to know how many episodes can I save to watch later. How do I save them so I can watch later? If the answer is in a manual, can you tell me where exactly to read about it?
