Does H3 Netflix stream directly from Netflix Servers, or through Dish's Network?

And less expensive Premier+.

Right, I forgot that, 4k ROKU owners were given a big price break to upgrade to Ultra.

Really, when did I miss that?

I've always registered my ROKUs to my account. They sent an email with the offer.

Just wanted to update you all, I upgraded from the Netgear N900 to a Arris 6900-AC and it seems the issue has disappeared. Im not sure why the H3 and the Netgear N900 were not playing nice, as nothing specification wise or configuration wise should have hampered the H3, yet it was clearly bottlenecking with that setup.

I was able to see some 100mbit + streaming speeds on the H3 once changed.

Since this hardware is new to me, I was wondering if any of you could be so kind to answer some questions.

I hardwired one of the Joey's with ethernet via the router and within the status it says ethernet connected but disabled. Yet within that joey's and the H3's configuration, I could not find any place to change settings over to ethernet from wireless? The H3 itself is hardwired ethernet and has a wireless joey "master" (unsure what its called) to speak to the other 3 joey's within the house wirelessly. One of the joey's was having issues streaming so i wanted to hardwire it to see if I could increase throughput for HBO/Netflix.

Will the Joey be able to use Ethernet directly connected to the router? Or does it require you to run the ethernet from the H3's 2nd ethernet port? Odd that ethernet was connected and verified working yet status said it was not being used. Didn't know if there's some weird proprietary interconnectivity between the H3 and joey's required.

I have had issues where with the H3 and Netflix the show would start up and the little counter would get up to say 30% and pause. I would back out and try again where again it would stop at 30%. After a few more tries the same result. I then move to the TV Netflix app and it loads right up. (30 is an example)

That used to happen for us all the time. It was so consistent, we quit using the Hopper for Netflix. We've got a Roku and smart TV with Netflix and when the Hopper version would act up, I could load either of the other two and they worked perfect (and fast).

You can not connect a Joey to a wireless router. Nor, does Dish "support" a direct ethernet connection to the Hopper (though most times it works). Moca via coax is the supported method.

Thanks. Perhaps im a little confused on the setup, I was listening to what my client told me and he assured me there was basically a "master" joey (which sat on top of the H3) that he said communicated with the other joey's. Is this not the case? Does such a item not exist?

I did notice that they are indeed connected via moca coax. But there is one joey that was in his kitchen that was not connected via coax. So surely there must be some wireless capability? Otherwise how was that particular joey working?

Yes, the H3 is connected via ethernet. It works great.

Thanks for your info!

Thats for Wireless Joeys.
Its called a Wireless access point (WAP)
That just gets connected to the H3 to form a private wifi network to only the wireless Joeys for its actual function to the Hopper.

Dish "supports" a Ethernet connection just fine to the Hopper.
It an option in every manual as well as all the trouble shooting steps.

Directv is the ones that don't support Ethernet on their Genies

It sounds like the kitchen Joey is a wireless Joey. That one needs a Wireless Access Point, and that is what is probably what is sitting on top of the H3.

I'm thinking he means an ethernet connection from the Hopper to a Joey

From his last description the Master Joey on top of the H3 is certainly a WAP for the wireless Joey in the kitchen. The other Joeys are connected via coax and are MOca connected... The H3 is ethernet connected....
