DPH42 now available

[MattG@DISH]

Hi all! I know that I have gotten many requests in which we could not add a Hopper 3 upgrade to the account because it was flagged as low beam or there was another issue, like needing 118.7. I am now requesting that if this was you and you want me to re-check for you, please PM me with your phone/account number and 4 digit PIN.

Appreciated!
Speedy

Is this the missing piece to allow H3 and international channels?

Is the cost to buy one known yet?

I've seen it for $79.00 at most retailers.

Not a bad cost since it costs $50+ just for a DPH LNBF head to change a Winegard Trav'ler to work with a Hopper 3.

Thanks JSheridan.

And before anybody asks, I don't know when the 'Wally Network' is going to be supported.

Is Dish allowing mixed Hopper, VIP, Wally installations? (with the DPH42)

AFAIK It's still the same. Up to 2 purchased 211's with Hoppers. Not sure if they allow Wally's with Hoppers yet.

Reading that manual it appears that I am going to have to replace the Hybrid LNB's with the old ones to add a second Hopper 3. Is this correct?
Thanks,

That would be correct.

You can have Wallys activated with Hoppers. I have a Wally and a 211K that I had activated previously, before I got a second Hopper 3.
Of course, with the two Hopper 3's I no longer need the Wally/211K setup, and would have to keep two separate dishes anyway. I believe that the DPH42 maxes out at 32 tuners, I "think."

Wouldn't it be 64 because it supports 2 H3?

Each Hopper 3 is 16 tuners, so 2 x 16 = 32.

(Whether thats actually a real or theoretical limit of the DPH42, I haven't a clue)

That's at least all dish would support right now anyway. It may be capable of more but they wouldn't allow it anyway. Took them long enough to support 2 H3.

I missed this somewhere. Winegard says the Traveler won't support HOPPER 3. Are you saying it can?
