The hoppers have not been replaced. Do you think I should have dish send me two new hoppers and a new joey?

My setup is two Hoppers w/sling and one Joey. I installed both Hoppers just fine. then I went to install and download software on my joey, and I stopped at 50% restarted and went to warning 981 Boot Recovery, and sat there all night. So I called dish and got another one sent out so I could...

Would adding any of the western arc feeds improve reliability then?

I currently use a k.2 ea dish to a duo node. I get good signal, but I know for a fact two singles and a dpp 44 switch gets a lot better signal, would a 44 switch with two 61.5s and 72.7s work, for redundancies sake? I know it wouldn't double signal, but would it work as far as having twice the...

That's why I love the Hopper system, It seems flexible, and hardy! The moca signal can travel through just about anything that carries a current.

That, my friend, is mildly epic. Hope those lines are labeled! I'm assuming you've got some sort of foreign language package requiring the use of the 118.

Every one in while, my Joey remote just stops responding, I'll be using it, and it just stops working, pressing Sat usually fixes it, but sometimes i have to remove a battery for a second. Only happens on Joey though

Bah! I do admit, three Hoppers is a bit overkill. But the Joeys seem unresponsive compared to the hopper, especially the hop w/sling. And this family is addicted to TV, in fact, I'm watching right now!

Ha! well I appreciate the quick and knowledgeable responses! From what I've seen, DIRT is a pretty easy bunch to get along with. I'm not askin for any special treatment, just a special situation that I think DIRT would excel at helpin' me out with.

I don't post much, but I'm constantly browsing! I'll get a hold of DIRT about it. I would really hope they don't make me start another account just for another building on my property! Especially because I'm saving them a van roll by doing this one on my own!

The fact that it would be on a different arc would be the only thing I could see that would give me any issues. 1k.2 ea on the house, 1k.2 for the garage.

The third hopper will probably be about 300-350 feet from the dish, so another dish would probably be needed. I can point a dish no problem, but it won't be able to be eastern arc for my hd locals. Not a big problem because it's only for a work on your car/get away from the wife type building, I...

Awesome! thank you so much!

I've heard dish allows three hoppers on the same account. I've also heard you have to purchase the third Hopper. That's all fine and dandy. I will purchase a third hopper. My question is 1) How should I purchase the Hopper? Should I buy it from dish? Or should I purchase it off ebay or something...

I realize that Dish probably wouldn't allow it to happen, but I'm just wondering about the technical maximum number of clients to one host. pretty much answered my question. plus I saw a wiring diagram of a 3H/2J setup which leads me to believe that the possibilities are virtually limitless with...
