By the way, looks like you used taps for the Joeys. Did you put a jumper cable between the two nodes so that all Hoppers can see each other?
I think some of your drip loops will promote water to go the coax connectors. Here is my four Hopper with Sling, one Joey, and three RF modulators that feed bunches of TVs.
I wasn't going to say anything because the op obviously takes great pride in his work & it looks like a 1st class job other than the drip loops as you mentioned.
Hope he takes my comment as constructive criticism.
Yep, it is nice job. I met as a constructive criticism too. Sure lotsa Joeys, I think I would have gone with four Hoppers.
What in the world are you people watching? Lol. And since we all have to clarify, I mean no offense, I ask out of genuine curiosity.

Where do you live at, a hotel? I lost track trying to count all the cable feeds coming down to the board. That's nice work. And the charts listing where everything is located is pretty cool.
Its all mounted to an eve under cover so no chance of rain. All the loops are just there for astetic reasons. So it would look to "code" lol I work for southern star in texarkana and ill be stopping back by there tomorrow to do the link between them. Im new at all this ive only been solo for a month and a half. And yes the wires were ran to a tap then from the tap to splitters inside the house. Thanks for the comments I tried to make it look as good as I hoped it would function. I had never heard of a hopper system this big so I was playing it by the ear as I did it lol. In my head it would work so I tried it lol. I was afraid to put the inserters thru the node and aparently for good reason.
I like the way you did your jumpers between the switches. Looks professional. And like you take pride in your work all around.
Excellent job to the installers in both of these installations. It looks awesome how neat all the wiring was ran.
Now if the customer had gone with Directv instead, it would have been almost impossible to this awesome of a wiring job

I agree. I would say you guys did a great job of something that would be a complete mess normally and turned it into quite possible the cleanest setup you could. The guy who has his in the basement, very wise. I wouldn't never want that outside of my house.Excellent job to the installers in both of these installations.

Seems like an awful lot of equipment, for just 3 hoppers and a few joeys. I would not want to ever have to trouble shoot that. You guys take some pride in your setup I will give you that! I would love to see a picture of just a regular tech installing a 3 or 4 hopper system. I would love to see pictures of 3Halo 4 hopper setup. OH and the guy getting busted on about his drip loops, well if you didn't know it doesn't rain in the basement.
Yea because all you have to hide is 3 things LOL! I have a 9 tuner system, and all I have is a Swm 16 and two 4-way splitters. But even still guys those are awesome pictures and great work.Now if the customer had gone with Directv instead, it would have been almost impossible to this awesome of a wiring job

Claude, wouldn't my setup be less cluttered if Dish TV had a switch like Directv’s SWM16 Multi-Switch? I wish Dish had bigger switches and nodes to handle more Hoppers and Joeys without having to add additional. There are lotsa homes that have three Hoppers and some with four. With Joeys taking the place of DVR’s built in modulator for additional TVs in the home, I hope Dish in the future comes out with bigger switches, nodes, or whatever to handle the home TV distribution system. It would make the installation less cluttered and easier for the installer.

Thanks and yes I too would not want any switches outside. But, I know that is hard to accomplish in lotsa installations. Yes, it is a lot of equipment for four Hoppers and one Joey. If I need to add two or more Joeys I would have to add splitters. Dish needs bigger switches and nodes. I had to do lotsa work on my headend distribution board to change over from a four VIP 722 system to a Hopper/Joey setup so it would be ready for my installer. He told me his training for the new Hopper/Joey system did not even address how to install a three or more Hopper installation. My Dish setup is easy to troubleshoot with everything in one area and my wiring distribution diagram. See pic.
