    Multi-hopper account questions... with Camper twist

    Just spent quite a bit of time on chat with Dish and they confirmed what you guys mentioned... but I had to pry it out of them. I asked if more than one Hopper 3 can be on a single account, and the answer was 'Yes, if you have more than 6 TV's.' I then mentioned that I heard from a friend...

    Multi-hopper account questions... with Camper twist

    Good to know. Thanks. Also sounds like the Joey's that we have now will all need to be replaced... unfortunately we own 2 of them already. The question now becomes... should I: - have Dish install a setup so that I can run two hoppers in the house with 4 total new joeys? ---- this would...

    Multi-hopper account questions... with Camper twist

    Our current setup is as follows: In our house: Qty 2: Hopper (without sling - leased with dish) Qty 4: Joeys (original ones I think - slow as a snail - leased with dish) Qty 1: Sling adaptor. In our RV: Qty 2: Joeys (original ones I think - bought outright on amazon) When we go camping each...

    Whoa. You have a splitter at the main tv?? Sounds different than the setup that is in my camper. Can you post a picture? Side note: my tap showed up this week while I was travelling for work. Just arrived back home - so.... tomorrow I test. :) (plus I get to re-aim the dish)

    That bottom jack at the main TV actually has the amplifier and 3 different coax jacks on the rear side of it. One is connected to the unlabeled input at the outside rear of the camper. Another is the OTA antenna downfeed. The final one is the one that feeds the splitter that is inside the...

    Also - I just ordered a Tap as well. May try it that way so I can put the Hopper back in the bunkhouse. Would save me a LOT of trouble.

    Wish you were closer to me! I'd be happy to help you out if you were nearer. I originally wanted to put our Hopper back in the bunkhouse simply for the space concerns like you had, but after seeing how things were wired up - it made more sense to me to try to find a home for it somewhere near...

    Will try to explain that diagram here. lol The back of the camper has two jacks. One that is not labeled, and one that is labeled 'satellite prep.' The Satellite Prep jack on the back of the camper is directly wired to the top jack on the wall plate by the primary TV. This specific jack on...

    It's a 2013 Keystone Sprinter 311 BHS. Here is a quick diagram showing how the camper came wired from the 'factory.'

    Bump for anyone interested. Am going to try to step through my trials and tribulations today... :) UPS delivered my Solo Node and what was supposed to be a 3ghz splitter. What arrived was a solo node and some Chinese pile of dung $1.99 splitter. I needed to grab a 50' chunk of RG6 locally...

    1000.2 with a foldable tripod. After reviewing everything that I received, it looks like I will need to acquire a second 50' RG6 cable to run from the lnbf to the solo node.

    Holy moly! I went to work for 4 days and came back to 4 pages worth of thread to read! Thanks to everyone for the input. A few notes - Unfortunately, we aren't camping enough yet for me to justify the Travler. :( I do understand that will result in likely frustrating times setting up and...

    Thanks for clearing that up. Can each be deactivated for months at a time while they are not used?

    Another 'HELP with Hopper plus 2 Joeys in my camper!' thread. I need to get educated!

    Reading online it sounds like I would still owe Dish another $14 a month ($7 per each new Joey) whether I buy them outright or not... ? Not a huge deal - just want to be clear. I understand that talking to Dish CSR's about this would likely lead to mass confusion. :) Wonder if I could just...

    We need (rather want) to be able to watch all 3 TV's at the same time and all be able to watch different programming. :( Was thinking that if I am able to just bring my 2nd Hopper (which we are already paying for) with me, my subscriptions wouldn't be affected....? Maybe not. Joeys are even...

    Thanks for the input. I am in central Illinois. I am a bit confused in regards to needing 3 inputs into the camper though. My home setup (two hoppers, 4 Joeys) has 3 coax cables going into the Duo Node (I presume from somewhere on the dish itself.) On the output side of the Duo Node, There...

    Long time reader - first time poster :) Where do I start with this post? My house setup is 2 hoppers - 4 Joeys. Everything works great - and am VERY happy with the package we got. I currently have 3 Joeys 'linked' to one hopper (this hopper and joeys get fairly heavy usage,) and 1 Joey...
