That does seem excessive for the amount of calls you should get. Like Hall said, you should get one the day before. Then if you had an a.m. appointment it should give you a call between 7:30 and 8:00 with about a 1 hour Estimated Window of Arrival (EWA). If the tech who has your appointment...

Enable bridging from the hopper. From the hopper location: Press Menu -> Settings -> Network Setup -> Broadband -> Network Details -> Bridging -> Enable -> Save After bridging is enabled, your joeys should be able to access and use the internet applications.

A 1000.2 with a 61.5 wing dish will work. If you're worried about the distance of the wing dish from the 1000.2, you could shorten it by putting in a dpp44 switch instead of running the wing dish line all the way to the 1000.2. If you do this though, you will have to run 3 lines from the...

From my experience in the field and from Dish training, a dpp lnbf will not work with a dp34 switch, you would have to use dp lnbf's.

Here's the cable diagrams from dish assuming you have a diplexer. The diagram wouldn't change that much without it, just need a separate line from the receiver to tv2.

From the dish, you only need 1 cable from the dish to the receiver. Connect it to port 1 on the lnbf. If you have a diplexer, you can run the cable from the dish to your home cable junction and connect it to the SAT port on the diplexer. Then connect the line going to the receiver to the...

If your dish setup contains both 119 and 61.5, then you should disconnect one of them before installing the Hopper/HWS. Once the download is complete, you can connect it back up, and then run a check switch test once the install wizard has finished.

You can use a long flexible drill bit to drill through the fire block, then tie the cable(s) to the flex bit and use the bit to pull them through the wall at the bottom.

They should do it, but since the installation has already been done, be prepared for them to charge you a $50 custom work charge for every room that you want rewired. Also, if you want the tech to wall fish the cables under the house, tell him before he starts, otherwise he might just bring it...

You need to connect a cable from one of the ports on the ground block to the SAT port on the diplexer. Then connect the cable that leads to the room with the receiver to the IN/OUT port on the diplexer. And finally, connect the cable that goes to your tv2 room to the VHF/UHF port on the diplexer.

Actually, that adds up to $17.98. I'm pretty sure if you broke it down, it would be $7 for tv1 + $7 for tv2 + $3 for dvr equipment = $17. That's why the 612/512 is $10, $7 for tv1 + $3 for dvr equipment.

When logged into mydish.com, click "My Programming" on the left, click "A La Carte", and then uncheck Protection Plan. Then click the "Recalculate" button under proposed changes to ensure that there's no early termination charge. Then click "Continue" and you're done.

The hopper doesn't have homeplug built in like the VIP receivers. You can still use homeplug if you use 2 devices. One at the router location and one at the hopper location.

It's a site for dish technicians/employees to receive news/updates/training. As far as I know, you have to be employed by Dish to get access to it.

I'm pretty sure this was only supposed to be released to employees right now, so you probably got it by mistake if you're not a Dish employee. From what I've been reading on DNS portal from people who have it, I'm glad I haven't upgraded myself to the hopper yet as this update does seem to...
