    Multiple Hopper -DVR Fee question

    Looking to switch back to Dish. I have 4 TV's. Trying to decide if i want to do Hopper/Super Joey/2 Joeys or 2 Hopper/2 Joey. It looks like receiver fee for 2 Hoppers is only $2 more a month. Is the DVR service fee of $12 per account or would that be $12 per Hopper? Main reason to go 2 Hoppers...

Scheduling timer on the DVR limitation i read having 2 hoppers and each hopper cant deal with timers on the other hopper isnt a concern. The second...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    I have been trying to keep up with the multiple posts on the Hopper/Joey but I have not seen this question asked..Will caller Id be supported on the Hopper and the Joeys? There appears to be a phone jack only on the hopper...not the joey

    EA 1000.4 dish & 110 can I

    Did you already lease your 612 and 622's or did those get upgraded at the same time as EA install? What was Dish solution for Cinti HD locals on your first few calls if they did not want to upgrade you to EA?
