Hopper instal ?

[bnewt]

I would like to have the hopper/joey setup installed but do not want the hassle of running additonal cables from the dish & for the joey's

Does anyone think in the near future.......the joey's will function wirelessly?

They already do with the adapter. It is not supported by dish so you will not get the installer to do it.

No way around using coax and needing lines from the dish. Best you can do is put the node at the dish and run a single line from the node to the Hopper. Then you must use a tap on the Joey to get it set up. After that it can be used wirelessly as long as the Hopper is connected to your router.

What do you have running to the locations you would want Hopper/Joeys now? Do you currently have Dish?

 

[bnewt]

currently have 2 722's. 1 is set up to feed 2 other tv's via the home distribution. Both of those tv's are hd & I would like to use them as such

Are you talking about the sling?

No. Wi-fi. Assuming you have wireless in your home.

You set up the Joey using coax. This can be at a temporary location, just to get it working. Then plug in the wi-fi dongle in place of using the coax and you should be good to go. Let's you move your Joey to whatever TV you want to watch.

Depending upon how many Hoppers, you will need 2 or 3 coax from the dish to a single or duo node. Then one coax to each Hopper (& maybe Joey).

This sounds like a good setup.........is it dependable? Why doesn't Dish support it?

Probably because they don't want trouble calls when interference/congestion occurs.

If there is an issue with the network or the wifi dish is now a liability. It adds another layer of RF interfence too battle. Not all wifi networks can handle the additional load of constantly stream of HD quality pictures to multiple locations within the system. Not all wifi networks could handle the HD stream on top of customer search on demand or trying to use the apps. Not all wifi networks can reliable cover the home from end to end without cutting out.

If the joeys ever set unplugged for too long or reset improperly they need to be hardwired back into the system anyways. MoCA troubleshooting methods go out the window. Additional most techs don't have the tools(ethenert cable cat5e-6 tools) or equipment(routers switches wifi extenders) or training. to deal with network based systems
