Help me better my current setup.
ADVERTS 1

This is how my house tvs are currently set up. I've also acquired a 722k and 211k if this helps the current setup.
Family room has a 722.
Gameroom has a 222.
Bedroom 3 has a 322.
The wireless adapters are
these
, they are hooked up to the 722 and 222 via composite cables, so the wireless tvs can watch the second tuner of either receiver. The wireless tv in the gameroom has to stay wireless, as it is on an outside wall, and due to the roof design, we are unable to run coax/ethernet down it. The second tuner tv in the gameroom has a coax from the gameroom and family room second tuners, so depending on which channel the tv is on decides which receiver it is watching. There is a home run in the master closet that sends coax to all current rooms with tvs except for the secondary tvs in the gameroom.
I would really like to make more of the tvs HD (primarily the master and maybe bedroom 2), and I was trying to hold out on the Sling Receiver 300, but it seems as if it is going to be a pipe dream long term.
These are my questions, when Hopper and Joey are released for Dish, I read that Hopper supports 3 sat streams, but can record 6 at once. Does the 3 stream difference come from OTA channels?
Can you daisy chain Hopper's together? Or at minimum can 2 co-exist and each feed 3-4 different Joey's?
Does DirecTV have something better coming down the pipeline/already available that would better suit me?
Thanks again for taking the time to read!

Edit: Is there a better forum to post this in?

from what i have read on here the hopper 6 stream claim is dureing prime time only and 3 of those 6 are locals via sat only
you can only record 3 other sats at a time
iirc each hopper does 3 joeys
directv has the hr34 that records 5 channels, not sure on the remote unit other then an h24Dishnetwork 2005-2010 VIP 622, Directv 2010-???? HR-24, H24

Yeah, dont have time right now for a big response (sorry), but check on the HR-34 setup with Directv.
Not sure that it would be better than what you have described.www. sonicbabble.com The best non sat discussion on the net
