I know DISH insists on doing initial Hopper 3 installs, but is it possible to buy a Hopper 3, wire it up, and install it yourself?

Please explain what's going on in the Hopper 3 "Test Installation" screen:

Recommended course of action . . . (1) Contact DISH directly (2) Go through a local sat TV installer (3) DIRT member (4) You can't have two Hopper 3s

Is this a thing?

Also just using a single dish. Anyone? Buehler?

A 722 user on another forum said they got a letter from DISH saying they want to "replace one or more of your receivers, adjust your satellite dish, or do both. As we continue to upgrade technology, it is required at times that we make adjustments to your equipment to ensure a better TV...

I suppose I should be happy that I have a very pedictable Joey 2.0 error, but resetting the Joey (or my Hopper) every 8 minutes is a PITA. Unless a miracle cure occurs soon, I just call DISH tomorrow.

From my testing, a modified Winegard Travler SK-1000 with work with a Hopper 3 (and Joey 2.0s). Good news for RVers who want to use this beast in their camper. It's all about Port 1 . . . http://rvseniormoments.com/2016/02/05/using-a-hopper-3-with-the-winegard-travler/

The latest (2013) DPP44 switch manual recommends that sats 72.7 and 77 should be connected to the TO DISH PORT 4. BTW, the manual says 61.5 along with 110, 119, and 129 can connect to any of the DPP44 ports. I knew 118.7 was supposed to connect to Port 4, but why the two Eastern Arc sats? What...

Will both of these installation diagrams work? Or just the one with two DPP44s? https://rvseniormoments.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/314_dish_threetvs_three_hoppers_single_network_dish1000plus_and_two_dpp44s_hdhdhd.pdf...

Assuming DISH would let you have 6 Hoppers on one account, would this work as a single Hopper network? http://rvseniormoments.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/six_hoppers_single_network.pdf And if it did work, could you just keep adding more DP44s and more Hoppers?

If you want 4 Hoppers connected to a single dish (w/o wing dishes), is the 1000+ (110, 118.7, 119, 129) the only option?

Just set up a Western Arc 1000.4, did a Check Switch, and all sats show up ok (110, 119, 129). When I check signal strengths on various channels, I get 110 & 119 @ about 60, and 129 @ about 45. The LA locals are on 129 transponder 4. When I try this transponder, no signal on 129. However, when...

My Hopper w/Sling, Mac computer, iPhone, and iPad are all connected to a Verizon wireless WiFi hotspot. Since my Verizon data plan is limited I have to watch how much data I use. So for the following scenarios, am I using up any of my Verizon data? Watching Hopper programming on an iPad or...

If you have DirecTV in an RV, when you move to a different location, can you call DirecTV and have them enable reception for the TV stations that are nearby?

Looking for recommendations for 3 GHz RG-6 coax that is UV protected for outdoor use.

I currently have a Hopper and two Joeys. I want to add a second Hopper by replacing one of my Joeys. Is it as simple as just swapping a Joey for the new Hopper?

I created this 3 Hopper, 7 Joey network for someone who wants a single network for all this stuff. However, 1 Hopper & 1 Joey will be in an RV that will occasionally be connected to the house network (2 Hoppers & 6 Joeys). I think the network diagram I created is ok, but I wonder about the...

I just finished creating a number of networking diagrams intended for RV installs, but could use the gurus here to check them for accuracy. Basically, the diagrams are house networks adapted to the RV world. http://rvseniormoments.com/tech-docs/dish-tv-for-rvs/

What's the diff if you connect two Hoppers directly to the DPX outputs of a Duo Node than if you connect two Hoppers via an Isolator to the DPX outputs of a Duo Node?

Does the Hopper USB OTA module work with the new 211z receivers?

My locals don't appear in the programming guide on my Hopper, but they do appear in the guides on both my Joeys. But when I enter the channel # of a local on my Hopper -- the program appears even though it's not listed in the guide. Is this a new feature? Followed DISH's troubleshooting by...

Currently I have a Hopper & 2 Joeys installed in my RV with a single Solo Node installed inside my RV. Here's my current install diagram: http://rvseniormoments.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/hopper_08_04_2012.jpg Note that my installation is set up so that I can switch from an automatic rooftop...

When I wanted to upgrade my original Hopper to the Sling version, I had no idea that DISH was just going to box a Sling Hopper and mail it to me with a page or two of instructions. I remembered that first Hopper install with a technician that seemed to last forever. However, let me report that...
