if you're interested in getting it subsidized/leased, then it more than likely will require a tech visit.
If you buy your equipment outright, i'm guessing you can do whatever you want.
contracts and tech visit fees haven't been fully laid out by Dish. We're assuming there's a contract under their lease promotions based on how they've done it in the past.
Still not sure if I want to go this route just yet, but as an existing customer, can you have up to three Joeys for free for each Hopper you purchase? Or is there a fee for additional ones after the first three?
If I went all out on the H/J system I would need 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys so I need to know if that fourth Joey would cost anything.

I don't want to speak for him, but the bigger hard drive along with the extra tuner/PTAT is nice. And some of us have enough or all of our locals on Dish already.
For me, I currently have a single tv, but the extra tuner, hd guide, larger hard drive and the ability to add Joeys in the future if needed is definitely worth it.

I just got confirmation that a fourth Joey is only available with a two Hopper equipment configuration.
That is a deal breaker. I will need 2 Hoppers and 6 Joeys in order to replace everything I have. That upfront cost is too much right now. Maybe in the future I will be entice when the Joeys are all free.Scherrman said:

A deal breaker? How are you doing it now? No way you can feed that many tvs independently without spending some cash.
I don't know - didn't see it. Folks here who went back and re-watched have said it wasn't. Not just Scherrman.

It was never said to be that way. The Hopper and three Joeys for free is only for new customers. The pics from the retailer chat are showing the info for new customers. Most of the confusion on here are people just misinterpreting the info.
So that implies the Hopper can only handle 3 at once. What happens when one of the Joeys on the "wrong" Hopper needs to watch something on the one to which it's not attached? Or is this just another one of those infuriating rules out of nowhere, like the "no mixtures of VIPs and XIPs" rule?
3 sat tuners, PTAT and 250 hours recording capacity. Right now I use a VIP and a Tivo so I can have more tuners and more total space. I also use a EHD with the VIP. My OTA signal for the tivo is also flakey at my location, not due to distance but rather we're in a bit of a valley with some obsticles so I can't reliably get a couple of OTA stations.
The money I spend on the tivo I can use to ugprade my dish package and bring everything to one receiver instead of having to manage two. And with the storage capacity of the Hopper it would allow me to then use my EHD for other things.

Is that price for the second hopper right or is that a typo? I haven't seen this price for a second hopper. The only price I've seen is either $199 to lease or $499 to own?
