When we moved and had Dish installed...

    Hopper 3 and Hopper

    Just upgraded my system from a Hopper to Hopper 3, the wife has an account and I piggyback off my parents account. When they came to install the Hopper 3 they took the switch so now my piggyback receiver (Hopper) don't work. Anyone know which switch I need to get my 2nd box back?

    New equipment advice....

    I see that the 1 line has a tap on it in which 1 line runs to the hopper and the other to the joey. Can I not do the same thing with the second line and have one line go to the Super joey and the other to the Vip722k?

    New equipment advice....

    I can't run a 3rd line into the apartment that's why a technician suggested the hopper system. Looking at my dish I have a solo node attaches to it and a tap in the apartment my super Joey came with an integrator if this is any help for me to just hook it up

    New equipment advice....

    Spoke to Dish they said they'd come and hook it up when I got the equipment. My dish is the turbo 1000. The wife refuses to sign a contract with them. I find it easier to just buy the equipment.

    I'm looking to purchase new equipment, due to them not able to run a new line, so I'm looking at purchasing a Hopper and a Joey but not clear on what to buy. Not willing to sign a contract so I am looking to buy out right. Any help is appreciated.
