Hopper Upgrades

[jchonig]

I'd like to hear from a DIRT member about upgrading my 722, 2x211, 508 system to Hoppers and Joeys.

Thanks,

Jeff

Really now. The chat i had with a Dish rep yesterday said it wasn't yet available and had no idea when it would become available.

Available has multiple meanings.

Rest assured that the OTA tuner module has been released. It may be out of stock when you contact someone but they are out there in the public's hands.

I'm a 13 yr Dish customer with a 6 receiver setup on 6 TV's (2 922's, 3 722's, and a 622). I would like to upgrade to a 3 Hopper, 3 Joey system with 3 OTA tuners. Upgrade cost please.

I've been with Dish since 1999. I currently have a 722 & 522 setup with the 722 broadcasting to another TV in the house. I am looking to upgrade to a single Hopper with 2 Joeys along with an OTA tuner. I'll wait for a PM from a DIRT member..... THANKS!

I would like to upgrade from my 622 (which I got when they first came out many years ago) to the Hopper. We have two HDTV's widely separated in the house. I would like to get two hoppers and an OTA dongle but 0 Joeys. I know Dish doesn't like this set up, although I don't understand why not. Can a DIRT member help me on this? Please PM me.

By the way, in a two-hopper system with one OTA unit, can the Hopper without the OTA access the OTA on the other Hopper? I ask this because, although two OTA's would be nice and are not prohibitively priced, connecting the second hopper to our antenna will require significant wiring work. Today our second TV uses an indoor antenna and, because of our location, only gets NBC and PBS. Our first TV is connected to a rooftop antenna and the 622 gets dozens of channels. I could live with just one OTA if both TV's could access it. And yes, I know that the OTA can tune to only one channel at a time.

If I succeed in getting my wishes, what will be the upgrade/installation cost and what will happen to my monthly fees?

Thinking about a hopper(s)/joey(s)upgrade. Currently we have 1-722, 1-622, 1-625 and one 612. We were thinking of going with 2 hoppers, 4 joeys.

Hey guys! We're getting a lot of requests for 2H/0J and 2H/1J setups. I just wanted to post that this is something that we are still not able to setup (I have spoken with Zach and Mike on this as well). There are certain scenarios where we can setup 1H/0J, but not always.

Everyone who has requested a PM should have received one by now, but please make another post if you have not.

Thinking of upgrading single 722 to 1 Hopper. alongwith upgrading my programming from Dish America to Top 200 or 250. How much will it cost to upgrade to Hopper and how much per month after that

VERY long-time member....

I've currently got two Vip 722's.

3 TV's upstairs, 1 downstairs (main Hopper?). What do I do?---- I'm ready for an upgrade!

I currently have a 622 and a 211. I am interested in replacing the 622 with a hopper while keeping the 211 in the bedroom as is (which should be ok based on mattg's post yesterday "The exception is we will allow one 211/211k/411 in addition to a Hopper system."). Thanks!

Considering upgrade to Hopper. I current have the following receivers: 2 x 722, 311, and a 512. Can someone from the DIRT team contact me with information?

thanks

Thanks,
