    Hopper/Joey vs. other options

    I really appreciate the help, guys, thanks. Maybe this is a silly question, but how do I order? Do I call Dish directly, and ask for a 722K with an OTA tuner? Or do I call an installer? What's the difference? The prices and offers are the same, right?

    Hopper/Joey vs. other options

    But I've heard that the 722k is newer/better, though, right? Or does it matter that I get a 722 (or something else - 922? not sure the difference)? Controlling only 2 TVs in the house, and I'd love to be able to avoid the whole-home DVR and the extra receiver fees...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    Can you program your hopper over the internet? Does it have to be connected (via ethernet/wireless), or can that be done via the satellite connection only? What other features make an internet connection important/nice?

    Questions about The Hopper?

    One more thing -- in the wiring diagrams, it looks like the hopper needs an ethernet connection. Is it not wireless? That may be an issue, since my router is upstairs...

    Questions about The Hopper?

    I have DTV, looking to switch, but DISH doesn't have my locals in HD. I only have 2 TVs, would it make sense for me to get the hopper/joey since the PTP won't be available to me? Will PTP work if/when they start HD service in my area? Also, any idea when that might be? :(
