    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    Yes I see what you mean. I need to look again at my LNB as I’m super sure it has 4 ports, and that picture has 3. Perhaps they sent me the wrong LNB and that’s why it won’t connect?

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    KitKat, I have a cable coming in from dish to hub, can’t I just connect the cable to the hopper directly? I don’t need a coupler, or barrel, right? Last night I moved the hopper to the media cabinet so that I could bypass much of house’s coax lines in case there was some splitter in the wall or...

    So I don’t have the hybrid solo switch actually grounded, it’s just got the 4 coax connected. Does it have to be grounded to work correctly?

    There are 3 ports on this LNB and an LNB In. This is what I bought: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiVjJf8l_rfAhUfH60GHdDWCLcYABAUGgJwdg&sig=AOD64_0uFd4LTnCz56RyRcdPKX_A1x7XEQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwi03ZD8l_rfAhXpjFQKHaLZAAsQwg96BAgTEAk&adurl= I have port 1 connected to the hybrid...

    It stays on this screen forever. Once it got past the verifying switch and said it was trying to get satellite, but since all I get is this...either 10 min remaining, or 6 min. Never times out, never gives error message etc.

    Western arc triple hybrid LNB. I have a hybrid solo switch as well. I currently have port 1 connected to ODU port of solo switch, and port 3 is to old 722 (to make sure I didn’t screw up aiming dish). I’ve since disconnected the cable for port 3 inside near receiver, as I remember riding you...

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    Thanks KitKat. I moved a line from port 2 to port 1. Left port 3 connected. Added cap to LNB In. Hopper is in the installation phase and stuck on the acquiring satellite signals page. I don’t think I’ve moved the dish at all, and the existing 722 (connected directly to port 3) is still showing...

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    I did. It said may be remanufactured. That’s why I tried to order a new one. Then afte i got it from dish it says they may be remanufactured as well. On to more pressing matters, I had asked about my dish being reusable, and was guided yes. I got a new LNB, the western arc triple, and went to...

    Thanks all. I ordered one from Dish and it’s marked as new vs. others indicating they’re refurbished, hopefully I get a new one since I paid extra hoping I would.

    Solid signal shows H3 boxes and at the bottom of the listing shows: DISH Network Sells us receivers at their own discretion whether it is a new or refurbished model. We have no control over this. Please assume you are getting a refurbished model, though many times the receivers are new. I...

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    One other question related...if I change out the LNB but don’t have my hopper yet, will it work with my 722k as is now, or do I need to do both at the same time?

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    Thanks Voyager. I read through the materials. A few more newbie questions...the LNBFs look like they can mount onto the existing dish satellite, just swap them out, or do I need a new dish with the 1002? Also, I’m in southwestern US, so I’m assuming I need western arc components? Lastly, i...

    Vip722K to Hopper3?

    hi, sorry I’m a newbie. I searched and read a few threads on LNB change requirements, and/or switch to get to H3 support. That said there were some references on how to wire but I couldn’t find them while searching. I’m trying to figure out what equipment I can keep and what would have to be...
