Heard from Advanced Tech Support today that Dish is planning to start forced CUI on the first of October.

Understand, but the Hopper 3 will be the most expensive part.

For those of us who like to do our own installs, etc.,, What will it cost us to buy a Hopper 3?

Do we know yet what wiring changes will be required for Hopper 3?

Thanks all for your comments. I am very pleased with our current dual-Hopper setup. Right now I own all four Joeys, but lease the Hoppers. Usually have two Joeys offline since I only need them when we have guests. Also own both dishes and DPP33 switch, Dual Node, etc. Have always done my...

Right now I have two Hoppers with Sling, plus four Joeys. With this new install approach, would I be able to change to one Hopper with Sling, plus one Super Joey, plus four Joeys?

Colorado. I talked with advanced tech support again today and they confirmed that even non-standard configurations (such as used by RVs) and Alaska and Hawaii unique equipment often only work when Alternate is on. In any event, this fixed my issues using Hawaii-specific LNBFs.

After extensive checking of all cables, etc., I have confirmed that there is nothing wrong with my installation. What I have found is that my non-standard configuration causes issues with at least the latest software when running check switch on both Hopper and Hopper with Sling. But I also...

Hopper with Sling in the bridging mode manages the allocation of IPs across the Hopper/Joey network. I understand that the router provides the IPs, but the HWS handles the Dish configuration and shares the IPs across the Dish MoCA network. Initial problem showed up when wife tried to stream a...

I bought two new Joeys from Amazon and returned the leased ones to Dish. This way I do not activate the guest bedroom Joeys except when we have overnight visitors. Saving $14 each month soon pays for the new Joeys.

Recently had an issue with my Hopper with Sling no longer providing IPs across the entire network (H, HWS, 4 Joeys) using bridging. Got that resolved after multiple reboots. So while at it, I decided to also do a check switch. That is when things got interesting. The results of the check...

I do that as well, but since the topic was Joeys looking Hoppers I did not mention that.

I think your problem is with IP addresses. Whenever your router reboots and assigns new IPs, the Joeys have a hard time finding their Hopper--even though MoCA is being used. I resolved this issue some time ago by changing to a Cisco router that allows me to reserve IPs for each of my two...

My present setup has worked very well with Joeys quite fast. I have RG6 throughout the house. I got rid of my HIC and now have the Hopper with Sling bridging to the rest of architecture. What really made a difference was when I configured my Cisco router to reserve specific IPs for each...

FCC ID is DKNYT1300, also. Same as China-built units. Who knows? Maybe not built with different chips.
