HWS - Joey Upgrade Info
Could a DIRT member please PM me as I am interested in upgrading my 722k / 222k to a 2-HWS 2-Joey setup & OTA adapter.
Some background for others to view and comment on.
Current – 4 TV’s….2 HD – 2 SD …plans to upgrade the 2 SD TV’s
722k feeds 1 HD & 1 SD TV, Upstairs has the box feeds to TV downstairs…(Myself / Wife)
222k feeds 1 HD & 1 SD TV, Upstairs has the box feeds to TV downstairs…(Kids / Kids)
Proposed - HWS box (Upstairs) for Myself … Joey box feeding other TV upstairs.
HWS box (Downstairs) for My Wife …. Joey box feeding other TV on same floor.
This would mean possible rewiring since we had a different layout, doesn’t seem to pose any problems ?
The Installer would have probably the scenario setup .
Myself and My Wife are heavier DVR users, hence that is why we were sharing the 722k. I would think that splitting the HWS up between Myself & Wife would be better? The kids would be with the Joey’s and would have basic usage/need of the DVR.
Questions:
- Could I for example watch one of the available tuners on the other HWS if all tuners are in use (2 Recording’s & 1 watching the other) on mine ?
- Can I for example for myself (not likely) Set 4 recording’s … 3 on mine and use 1 of the available tuners on the other HWS.
- Although everything will need reviewed, but any idea on rough guess costs $$. 2 HWS – 2 Joeys – 1 OTA adapter – Equipment startup costs – Monthly Fee’s
I’ve been a lurker for at least 3 years, using this site to help guide me on my decisions on choosing Dish.
Thanks for reading
