How come you can't move a Joey receiver into another room ?. I did and it would not work. Put it back and it's just fine.
What version Joey did you move? Was it a wireless Joey? If it is a wired Joey, is the coax that you hooked it up to connected at the Hub/Node?
Typically, the only cables connected to the Hub/Node are cables actually being used. Open connections can cause signal loss via ingress of other signals or frequencies via open ports. Dish is not the cable company where typical splitters are used to send signal to every outlet. Hopper systems are cabled in a specific way
. Ran more coax into another room from the wall outlet about 50 feet through the basement and back to the main floor Joey moved about 12 feet
Let's see if I have the picture correct. You had a Joey wired to a particular wall outlet and it worked there. You wanted to move that Joey to another room. So you ran a new coax from that same wall outlet to the other room and the Joey does not work there. Is that correct? If it is, I would look at my my new coax connections first. Are the stingers long enough to make a connection within the wall outlet and at the Joey? Did you build this coax yourself, ran a raw coax and then attached connectors to each end? If so I would rebuild the connectors. When you ran that coax did you have any hard bends, like close to 90°? Did you staple that coax? Look for a staple that might have punctured the coax. It would seem that the signal is open or the coax is grounded. Just some things to check.
