Good morning. I recently upgraded to the Hopper 3 and have a couple questions concerning it's use in a RV. I upgraded from two 722k receivers and would take one from the house when I used our RV. I'm on the eastern arc and have a 1000.4 & 1000.2 antenna I keep in the RV in case one arc is blocked by trees from our camping spot or locals are on a different arc. When I upgraded, my 1000.4 antenna at home was replaced with a 1000.2 using a DPH LNB. I would assume I no longer need to carry the 1000.4 dish, correct? Next, if I purchase eastern and western DPH LNBs for the 1000.2 dish, will these two new LNBs mount to the same DIsh arms as the old DPP LNB? I plan to travel with the Hopper 3 and a wireless Joey, am I correct that a solo hub would not be needed and the single antenna cable connected directly to the Hopper 3 since I would be using a wireless Joey?

I appreciate the help. The RV is stored a couple hundred miles away and want to acquire the needed equipment before I leave home.

Thanks
 
As long as you are using a wireless Joey, you do not need a hub at all. Single wire from the dish to the H3. The hybrid LNBs will mount to the 1000.2 dish just fine....

Thank you very much for the information.
