    Upgrading from Hopper 1 to Hopper 3

    We currently have 2 of the original Hoppers and 3 Joeys. Will this install be as easy and unplugging the old equipment and plugging in the new? Will there be any need to run additional coax or anything? Change out the LNB or switch? Just wondering.

    S 238?

    My other Hopper finally received 238 last night, I had almost given up hope. So far it looks like my caller ID problem is fixed and the internet connectivity problem is at least better. Haven't had the time to fully test it.

    Caller ID Question

    My caller ID doesn't display anything. Well, if I reboot the Hopper it will display for a few hours but then stop again. The caller ID history has all the incoming calls but it doesn't display on screen when the phone rings. I've read reports that it is an issue in S234. Not sure if that's true...

    S 238?

    Still on 234 as well but wanting the update so bad. Our replacement Hopper pulled down 238 Thurs night and it seemed to fix our Internet issues but haven't tested caller ID. Please Dish, hit my other Hopper with 238!!! Posted Using The New SatelliteGuys Reader App!

    Weird Hopper/Jeoy issue

    We have 2 Hoppers & 3 Joeys, 1 Joey is connected to a Hopper and the other 2 Joeys are connected to the other Hopper. My daughters tell me their TVs (the 2 Joeys) aren't working so I go to investigate. Joeys are saying they can't find a Hopper and to check the wiring, etc. Neither of the Joeys...

    3 questions about our install

    1) Tech came out Sat morning and installed 2 Hoppers & 3 Joeys. I was surprised to find that he didn't use either client port on the duo node. I can't remember exactly how it is laid out from memory but I think a Hopper and Joey are connected via a tap and the other Hopper and other 2 Joeys are...

    Cant select top ethernet option

    A tech installed 2 Hoppers & 3 Joeys in our house Sat morning. He was having the same exact issue and never got it working 100%. After he left I unplugged the ethernet cable.

    Physical dimensions of the duo node?

    I assume it will fit in my cabinet but just wondering.

    Looking for advice

    How can I find out which DIRT members are online so I can get my Hopper install setup? I looked at who was online in the DISH forum but nothing indicated anyone was a DIRT member. I've been looking for a few days. This forum is a lifesaver.

    He did ask if I wanted the Hoppers with Sling. I asked if they were more expensive and he said no. I don't really care anything about the Sling functionality. I really appreciate the help.

    Looking for advice

    Well, this sucks. I had decided to go with the 2 Hoppers and 3 Joeys and was actually pretty excited about it. Called Dish and the CSR quoted me $495 for the equipment and installation. $200 for each Hopper plus the install fee. I said no thanks so he said I could get 3 922s for free, I'd only...

    Looking for advice

    Before the drywall was put up I wired our house with quad shielded RG6. Ended up pulling around 3,000 feet thru the whole house to the main cabinet. I have 3 cables coming off the dish (only 2 currently hooked up) so from what I'm seeing online that would work with the duo node. Then each Hopper...

    Looking for advice

    If my son was recording a show on Nick (for example) while he was watching it would the other kids' TVs be able to watch it too? I'm really fuzzy about how this Hopper system works. I'm really thinking about going with the other setup just to avoid the unknowns. At least I know what I'm getting...

    It could be all 5 at once with a mixture of live/recorded TV??? I know that sounds stupid but I really don't know how to answer. We have a TV in the den, master bedroom, and each of the 3 kids room. In the past the girls shared a room but one has moved upstairs to her own room hence the need for...

    I'm a current Dish customer not under contract. We presently have service on 4 TVs but need to add another TV. We currently have 2 dual-tuner standard def DVRs (I think they are 625s) feeding the 4 TVs. I was told I couldn't add a 3rd receiver without adding a switch and that I would be better...
