These shortcuts can greatly reduce the number of button presses required to get to some commonly used screens, for instance reaching the Closed Captioning menu is cut from 9 keystrokes to 2.

From the Settings Menu: the tiles are invisibly labeled 1-7, just count across the screen and press that number on the remote.
To pair a Joey to another Hopper, press the blue shortcut button on the remote, click on the whole home tile, then select the other Hopper.
Hopper will respond to Dish IR codeset 1. To enable IR, go to Settings > (1) Remote Control > IR.
