    With you current system you pay 13$ in fees. Dvr fee 6 + 311 rec 7. If you do a 4 room hopper plus the 211 for rv you would pay 38$ in fees.

    Single Wire Install

    One thing I like to do is just put the dish in the back of the house. Shot the cable into the attic vent and drop them down into the onq. Makes for a cleaner install

    Single Wire Install

    Ya you will be fine as long as the cabling in your house is all 3 ghz . You can have 2 lines off the dish to the node. Node would go in the tv can where the two service lines are. One cable off the node to the onq to a tap. Off the tap one cable going to the hopper. Another cable off the tap...

    No signal after standby

    Could be bad/old/crap cable... bad connections or the reciever or lnbf may be going out. You should get a tech out there to check it out.

    Upgrade to 722 or 922?

    I defenitly do not recommend "upgrading " to a 722/722k. When your 622 dies or "has problems" . Get a service change set up the tech will be able to replace it with a 722 no problem if he has one. We haven't had 622s at the warehouse for about a year or so.

    Upgrade to 722 or 922?

    The 722 has an ant in. (one extra tuner for an off air ant) 722 k doesn't have a built in ant in. But you can get the "add on" ota mod that slides into a port on the back that rec that gives you 2 extra ant tuners.

    Remote Question

    The remote that comes with a 222/222k will work on those recs. It's a 21.0 remote which can be set between adress 1-25 I wanna say. If you want to program it to a 322,311,512 iam pretty sure they only accept a adress code between 1-15. Any ways if you want to syc a 21.0 remote up with a 322 tv1...

    No signal after standby

    Did you do this install yourself? When you run the check switch test what lnbf/switch does it say you are using? If it is a DPP lnbf/switch At the back of your receiver you should also have a silver seporator(looks like a spliter) which connects to both sat inputs. It kinda makes me think you...

    Hopper working with RG59 run throughout house

    +1 If you can't get the rg6 to where the hopper is just put the hopper in one of the other room that you know you can get it to. Then you will have a solid set up. The hopper/joey system is so screwy . I would never run the hopper on 59 I wouldn't be suprized if you started seeing intermiting...

    Tip the Installer?

    The tech will definitely not be expecting a tip. You can tell when u get a tech that wants to actully help u out or not. If you get some one that is willing to help you out , help him out . Being a tech for dish now a days is a pain in the ass . Tech have to put up with a lot of crap. If you...

    HDTV Requirement for Hopper Joey installation?

    If you plan on getting hd tvs soon and you like the idea of all room dvr get hopper and joey system. If you are going to be using sd tvs for a while and you really don't need dvr in all 4 rooms it would be cheaper per month to just go with a 722 and 222. Just call back up and tell the u have...

    Told by Dish that Hopper can be used with Tailgater...

    I guess if the hopper can work with out a node in place then technically the tailgater would work the hopper... But can the hopper work with just a direct line from a 1000.2? I'll have to try but iam thinking no

    Told by Dish that Hopper can be used with Tailgater...

    Wow what a load of crap. What's sad these csrs are giving out mis information all the time. It's either they really don't have a clue about the system and the installation or they are just hoping to make the sale and get you locked in the 24 commitment. If you where not a member on the...

    Look at the writing on the cable where you are going to want the hopper. If it doesn't say 3 ghzs the tech should want to replace it

    Hopper + 211k w/ Tailgater?

    Ya it is a horrible idea on dishes part. The customers that have the tail gater are the ones researching about dishes new products and are more likely the ones that are going to want to upgrade And put out the money. It would be cool to just let people have one active 211. All you would have...
