Upgrade to Hopper/ Joey?

Thinking about upgrading our service to the hopper. 5tv's. How many hoppers and joeys will I need to record 4-5 shows at once, yet be able to still watch regular television if we wanted?

For your situation I'd recommend 2 Hoppers (with Sling) and 3 joeys.

You can also add an OTA tuner to each Hopper to help relieve the tuner crunch if you can get locals OTA and you need to record locals.
