I have a multi dish setup in NJ looking at 61.5, 72, 77, 119. I have two Hoppers and four Joeys, two dish setup going to a DPP44, a dual node and then to each location in my home. The only problem I have had was when I recently upgraded one of my Hoppers to a Hopper with Sling the software...

I had the software download issue the other day when replacing a regular Hopper with a Hopper with Sling. I look at satellites 72 77 61.5 and 119. When all 4 were connected the wizard would stall at step two downloading the software. When we tried disconnecting the 119 from the DPP it would...

Thanks for all your help! You were great. I'll be sure to let you know how I make out.

Yes I'm first going to try and disconnect the 119 at the switch and if that does not work then call Dish to have them send another Hopper with Sling. Do you work for Dish or are you just an expert on this forum?

Think I figured out side of switch going to dish. It is the left side now I just need to figure out which one of the 4 is the 119 location.

Hess using Dpp44 all four locations complete the check switch. The only issue with disconnecting the 119 location is I can't see which one goes to the dish pointed at the 1qp location. Also not sure which end of the switch ( left side or bottom) goes directly to the dish on the roof, so I may be...

Check switch is fine and other Hopper (not sling loaded) and connected Joeys work fine. Would it be worth a try to remove the 119 dish at the switch to avoid any confusion of where it is pulling software from? Again tech tried this but he disconnected at the LNB which left it connected at the...

Tried your suggestion but after hitting reset the menu button does nothing. It always passes step one for the three tuners and reception is verified on all 4 locations 72 6.5 7u and 119. It then just stalls forever on downloading software.

I look at three orbital locations: 61.5. 72. 77 and a separate dish looking at 119. I still have a Dish looking at 119 as I still receive two western network channels from alternate provider. Yesterday the tech disconnected the 119 dish to see if that was confusing the Hopper as to where to...

I believe so. I am located in Northern NJ. Why?

Yes,yes,yes and yes. Still will not get past step 2 downloading software. My other Hopper and linked Joeys work fine. Not a wiring switch or node issue.

Yesterday I went to install our new Hopper with Sling upgrade for one of our existing Hoppers. There is a 6 stage boot up process and ours continued to stall on step 2 where it is trying to download the software. It states it should take no longer than 20 minutes so after an hour I called tech...

There should be no problem with this connection unless there is a problem with either of the HDMI cables. I assist Witt professional installs and this is the way I would have done it for a neat and finished look.

I have 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys all 4 joeys received the latest software update but only one of my Hoppers did. The Hopper that did not is setup with bridging so all my Joeys and other Hopper can have Internet access. Works fine. My question is can the bridging effect the Hopper acting as the...

I have new software on all 4 joeys but only on one hopper. Now the joeys will not sync with the hopper still running s222. Called dish several times and they have no way of pushing an update even though they can see that I am still on s222 on one Hopper. Does not make sense to me. Even the cable...
