Sure, change the LNBF to a DPH Hybrid and disconnect the Hopper 3 from the dish while it is seeking. It will be easier using the DPH42, you don't have to change the LNBF head and you won't have to disconnect the Hopper 3 while seeking.
There is no theoretical limit. DPH is bandstacking everything on each output of the DPH LNBF or DPH switch, so it just depends on how capable is the receiver. You could theoretically have a DVR with loads of processing and storage that records all channels simultaneously.Each Hopper 3 is 16 tuners, so 2 x 16 = 32.
(Whether thats actually a real or theoretical limit of the DPH42, I haven't a clue)
Strange, I wanted to print out the DPH42 guide and all would print except the cover page with the
I have my 1000+ dish (119, 110, 129, & 118.7) connected to the DPH42 switch and everything is working great.
I wonder about that too and don't have any answers for you. Maybe someone that knows more info about that can help. My 1000+ has the DPP LNBs only that has four coax to the DPH42 switch satellite input ports.
When I installed the DPH42 switch I connected it to a Duo Hub then to two HWSs and one Joey 1. Ran a check switch test and every thing worked great. My dish is a 1000+ with the DPP LNBs.
If you would read the post you quoted you'd see he connected the DPH42 to a duo HUB not a duo node.
Thanks for the response JSheridan. That seemed reasonable to me but I didn't know if the DPH42 had to be connected to the LNB.That's what I would do. DPP44 to DPH42. 211's connect to the DPP44 and the H3 connects to a solo hub or tap for the Joey and then to the DPH42. Don't forget the 2 power inserters.
