Garage I use my 211k and a separate dish.Besides the bathrooms, garage and everywhere else I've got one in my closet too.
No bathroom tvs, definitely no closet tvs lol.

But there is no point in having 2 Hoppers if they can't interact with each other.
I've seen those and just have to shake my head.... It's TV !a bunch of people who tout having a pair of them for redundancy (in case of failure)
And $200 extra dollars per year to boot.I've seen those and just have to shake my head.... It's TV !
Thats even more rare than the other 2% that even want 2 Hopper 3s to begin with .Not that I fall into either camp, but there's a bunch of people who tout having a pair of them for redundancy (in case of failure) and another camp who preaches the gospel of having his & hers Hoppers to keep recordings separate. Neither of those scenarios really require having them interact with each other.

Ditto. We're full-time RVers and "48 hour max" service turnaround isn't typically possible in the boonies. Plus, streaming is not an economical option on the road.Well I'm in the his and hers camp.
For $7 a month you can always have a 211 on hand.Ditto. We're full-time RVers and "48 hour max" service turnaround isn't typically possible in the boonies. Plus, streaming is not an economical option on the road.

It does,I thought the 211 required a different dish/lnb.
It does,
But clearly that isn't a problem with TechWriter setup.
And something tells me he's not dropping/selling all those Hoppers for Just 2 H3s.
Did you see his Tech sheet?He's a full time RV'er, I wouldn't think he'd want to carry a separate dish to accommodate a different tuner for backup. But, maybe.
If you’re referring to all those Hoppers in the post #23 diagram, that isn’t my setup. The diagram just shows the theoretical max size of a Hopper 1 or 2 network.It does,

Don't forget that many households (and posters on this forum) don't care for accessing the other H3, but do want other household members to have their OWN H3 so others don't have to deal with loads of timers and recordings to find what they want, as in the kids get their OWN H3 and parents get their own so neither have to deal with each others timers or recordings. That is our set-up and why TWO H3's (currently two HWS's) are a necessity: Total seperation of recordings and experience. Our combined recordings across our two HWS's would exceed the 2TB of capacity for a single HWS.But there is no point in having 2 Hoppers if they can't interact with each other.
So whether Charlie is cheap or not, has nothing to do with having 2 Hoppers .
They currently have no plan for H3 Internationals, So again apparently they needed some kind of solution.
Most people and I mean like 98% of customers probably don't need 32 tuners, or 8 rooms of service at their residential homes.
Now THIS is music to my ears! So the Hybrid LNBF is a temp H3 "fix" until the DPH42 is released?The DPH42 is the "internationals solution" for the H3 that will integrate 4 sats (110, 119, 129, and Internationals at 118) and multiple H3's on one account using a SINGLE reflector with no need for Hybrid LNBF.
COST of dishes has nothing to do with it, a DPH42 will cost a lot more than four dishes would and you should know that.Don't forget that many households (and posters on this forum) don't care for accessing the other H3, but do want other household members to have their OWN H3 so others don't have to deal with loads of timers and recordings to find what they want, as in the kids get their OWN H3 and parents get their own so neither have to deal with each others timers or recordings.

Today, such an install would require TWO reflectors to accomodate ONE H3 (one reflector for core services and one for Internatioals at 118), and a second H3 would need its own pair of relflectors (total of 4 reflectors to see 4 sats for TWO H3's), and that is costly to Dish, multiplied by many, many such installs.
No. The hybrid is the best and proper option for probably 95+% of H3 installs.Now THIS is music to my ears! So the Hybrid LNBF is a temp H3 "fix" until the DPH42 is released?
95+% is extremely kind.No. The hybrid is the best and proper option for probably 95+% of H3 installs.
DPH42 opens up the H3 to those last few odd but lucrative accounts - multi-H3s, internationals, multi-tenant, etc.
