    Adding another HD receiver - How?

    Thanks guys! I will see if I can get another 211k receiver from Dish. I like the idea of hopper but Dish charges too much for it. I wish there's a cheaper way to do this.

    Adding another HD receiver - How?

    When I looked at the setup on my screen. it says it is pointing to 61.5, 72.7, and 77 (eastern arc). So, this must be dish 1000.4 ? 3 output + 1 input on the LNB? If I can find one open output on it, I can run a cable from it to the new receiver?

    Adding another HD receiver - How?

    Sounds like I must make a run to the rooftop to the antenna... can't do the regular inside house split eh? If I buy my own 211k, will Dish still charge me for the $7/month receiver fee?

    Adding another HD receiver - How?

    The problem with hopper.. it cost me additional $5 more per month for DVR fee. My current DVR from 722k is only $7/month. The other 211k (has external hard drive) no DVR fee but already paid $40 for one time activation. Room 2 does not need DVR. Just HD receiver. Furthermore, I heard that...

    Upgrading to Hopper soon. Questions...

    Nice, looks like with the new OTA module for hopper, one can get the sub-channels. Anyone knows how long one has to be ex-customer of dish for one to be qualified as NEW again? I was a dish sub 2 months ago, paid all my bills and returned all equipment - and now thinking of coming back to Dish.

    722k random reboots! - Very annoying!

    Finally, managed to copy over everything except for shows that's 2 hrs long. Called dish up yesterday and they're sending me a new box for $15 shipping after talking to their 2nd level tech and finally convinced him that I got a bad 722k. Can't wait to get the new box in couple of days.

    722k random reboots! - Very annoying!

    The system info is ok (if I could get it to boot after multiple times). I have another 211 receiver.. that one is working, so I know the lnb is working. Do you know if they charge you another $17 for shipping bad receiver back to them or do you have to pay that out of your expenses? If so, I...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Oh dear... I just saw the back panel of the Hopper and Joey.. I see no where I can connect my OTA cable from my Antenna for my locals sub channels. Does that mean I cannot upgrade to the Hopper yet? I am currently using 722k with OTA module.
