    At least the GROUND is grounded! Or is it aired? Looks like a cable conversion.

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Hopper...

    It is likely that one of the Satellite feed stingers was too short or had a flake of braiding shorting the line and it fell out when jostled. Either of these situations would interfere with band stacking for hopper two or both. Most times when swapping wires fixes a problem, the f-connector is...

    Cardinals/Reds Game in SD tonight, why?

    Kenny is right. KMOX 1120 moved the Blues to Y98 because of the conflict. It really is not personal at you _numb or bandwidth. It is just bidness AKA advertising revenue.

    Tile pictures in PTAT. I looked for the answer, however...

    I thought I saw a thread on this one day, a long time ago. BUT I have a day old Hopper install. The PTAT screen does not have icon pictures for the recorded shows. This is forcing me to read instead of just looking at(for) a picture! Does this clear up after time? Not the reading part...

    Dish installer damaged my roof!

    "A few years ago"? Was that this decade? or in 1900's? New shingles bend. Old, weathered shingles break. I call BS.

    Dish "pay for 6 mo, get 6 mo free" scam?

    I agree. I just don't want to be a copycat. Maybe this could be moved to Hopper zone for wider coverage?

    hoper sattlitte dish location

    You need a 44 switch if you think you need 118. I don't think 118 has anything on it now so you could use a 33, not a 34. When I set up my second 44, I experimented at not jumpering the 118 and did not have any issues on receivers attached to the second 44.

    Help: Hopper cant be installed says tech (Bcuz of multi-dish setup)

    navychop: I sent my reply before I thought it all the way through. If I am thinking correctly, the switch would have to be at the Dish to send three feeds to the Duo unless the Duo is at the Dish, too. However, I have not seen an engineering document that shows a DPP Twin in a possible...

    Help: Hopper cant be installed says tech (Bcuz of multi-dish setup)

    I had a lot typed out here and then reread your post! So you have 119/110? Where is the other dish pointed? Is the 119/110 a DPP twin or legacy twin? What are you upgrading from? I think a 500 DPP twin pointed at 119/110 with a wing dish pointed at 129 would work for 1H/xJ setup. It...

    Splitter problems

    The Hopper does not have an RF output. The only way to connect to a Hopper is HDMI or RCA. So get out your saw!

    Will these f-type connectors work?

    Sparcs, They are color coded to indicate that they were manufactured to the 3g level. You are right though, it does make an easy visual check. StevenD, On the other hand he could order them from Ebay......

    Will these f-type connectors work?

    Your best bet is to contact a local retailer and see if you can buy a few from him. He has to meet Dish standards so they should be able to help you.

    DISH Price Increase 1/17/2013 (UPDATED!)

    It looks like it is going to be a sideband of the NBC affiliates. Some originals and some classics like the six meg man, marcus welby et al. It looks like Nederland, TX has it now.

    (Re)install question

    Joeys take a download from the hoppers for their firmware update when first set up. It is a fifteen to twenty minute process that I prefer to do at home while drinking a beer and playing with the dogs instead of at the customer's home. The hopper takes a download for itself, programs itself...

    (Re)install question

    Lucky: I have two 44 switches stacked off of a 1000+. The first switch feeds my 722/722/522 and the second switch feeds a duo that I use for programming Joeys and may use when I finally upgrade to a hopper system. I use a 1k2WA to a solo in my lab (BWAHAHAHAHa) for hopper programming so that...

    (Re)install question

    Okay... A little information can start a flood. The tap is used in cases like putting the solo (duo) at the dish and only using one (two for the duo) line to the demarc. The single feed is then fed to the tap and provides the Host and client side to the installation. It just gives the install...
