    Can Anyone Ship Me A ViP922?

    I loved 922's. I admit it. I thought they looked awesome for the time and the integration of future Hopper aspects on a VIP was pretty cool

    Yet again ... No Hopper-compatible EHD available

    First, don't listen to Dish techs that tell you that you NEED Mesh routers. Many people do. I do at my house. And you may. But Google's Mesh routers are garbage. Go look up Google Wifi on Reddit. I hate that again, they're taking the good Linksys Mesh WiFi 6E routers away and forcing us to...

    EXT3 is file structure. TBH, it means nothing to the average end user other than random information that you have no control over.

    First, no, there are no instances of the foam collapsing. This isn’t Styrofoam. Second of all you’re showing a picture of a fence post not the poes we use for satellite dishes. There’s a difference.

    Same here and happy I'm very good with Cat 6E, Wallfishing and RG45 connectors

    I like a system like that. They're few and far between. But taking on that install and making it work is something I wish I could have done more often. Like the guy who said Comcast told him his install was too difficult and I got him installed with 4 rooms. And yeah, it was tough. I know a guy...

    Wrong. Where the heck are you getting this information?

    Sigh... From our Tech portal (meaning for technicians): EHD sizes for Hoppers IHS iQ For Hopper family receivers, here are the External Hard Drive (EHD) size requirements: Minimum size: 320 GB Maximum size: 7 TB Important note: If a customer is using more than 1 EHD with their Hopper, they...

    Why, is someone forcing you to tune that channel at that time??

    How do I replace a Hopper full of shows?

    No, that's right, it just doesn't work as consistently as it used to

    You understand the foam expands, right?? hence the name, expanding foam?? It expands into every nook and cranny of the hole, locking the pole in place

    How do I replace a Hopper full of shows?

    I've had that. It's from quoting someone then not posting it

    Move a dish about 15 feet...

    Yeah, that's not what we use, sadly. They gave the guy augers that are about 3" wide, but I still use a regular post hole digger and even so, a half bag will blow foam way out of the hole, if you use the Post Hole foam.

    How do I replace a Hopper full of shows?

    No. The specs call for power not from the USB, but a wall outlet or, like mentioned above, a powered hub

    How do I replace a Hopper full of shows?

    Correct. The hubs handle the power requirement

    No one waits that long. Once it's firm enough, they'd set the dish on it. The foam is ready in 10 minutes

    Move a dish about 15 feet...

    The problem is with a 3' hole, even a 4' hole, using even a quarter of the bag it does much more than a small amount. It's crazy how much it expands - and then the other 3/4's of the bag gets thrown away

    Move a dish about 15 feet...

    Carrying 6-80lb bags vs 6 foam bags, which weigh about a lb each. Concrete takes much longer to set up than the foam does, also.

    Horrible Install

    Not if you do a little research into the contractor. Any good contractor should have referrals. If they don't, move on
