How to Add A Hopper

So I currently have 1 Hopper and 1 Joey. I would like to add another receiver, but I would rather have another hopper instead of another joey. Is there a trick to getting that, or will dish insist I add another joey? Either way, it only adds another 7 bucks to my monthly bill right?

I just ordered a duo node from eBay $33.00, ordered a hopper with sling from dish depot for $179 (Easter Sunday sale, they're normally $199), ran a third line from dish to the duo node myself, connected hopper, waited for it to do all its updates, pulled up dish chat and they added the hopper to my account for $7/ month. Simple if you can run your own lines. I happened to have a box of rg-6, compression fittings, and compression tool already. If you don't have all that, might be cheaper to have dish install for you if you have the protection plan, of course you will have to extend your contract if you get the hopper from them.

I'm sure I can install it myself. The only thing I'm not quite sure of is the wires coming from my dish. I have a 1000 dish and right now I only have 2 wires coming from the dish to the solo node. Where do I get the 3rd wire from the dish when I change the solo node to a duo node?

Do you mean you have the original DISH 1000?

Not sure what you mean. It says Dish Network 1000. Is slightly oval and has an dual LNB aimed at 119 and 110, and a seperate on for 129. Looks like four rg6 wires come out of the dish, but 2 loop back in. Haven't taken it apart to what's going on in there.

Yep that's the original 1000. Has the DPP Twin for 119/110 and the DP Dual for 129. The DP Dual feed goes to the LNB IN on the DPP Twin's built-in DPP switch. The 119/110 ports each feed a single receiver all three sats and up to four tuners total with two dual-tuners, or three in the case of Hopper. Your options for two Hoppers is either replacing your 1000 with the 1000.2/1000.4 and run three feeds directly to the Duo Node, or stick with your current 1000, keep the existing lines from the DPP Twin (119/110) then disconnect the DP Dual from the DPP Twin and run another feed directly from the DP Dual. The three feeds will then need to be ran to a DPP44 multiswitch, then the three receiver feeds to the Duo Node.

Now its sounding like I better let dish do it. By the time I buy a hopper, duo node, multiswitch, etc.... it's gonna get kind of spendy. I was hoping to avoid the hassle of having to order a hopper and joey, and then dumping the joey that I don't need. I wish Dish would just let you add a hopper to a 1 hopper/1 joey setup.

I think you're right. They'll just put in a 1000.2/1000.4 and call it a night, most likely. Upgrade fee will probably be reasonable, since judging by the age of your dish, you've probably been with Dish for quite some time now.

I believe that's only when you first order the hopper system. You don't have to do that to add a second hopper. They were just going to let me add a hopper with sling to my current 1 hopper, 2 joey setup, but maybe it's because I had a 2nd joey? What you can do to avoid that, is to buy the hopper for 199, then have dish install it.

They originally quoted me 15 for tech visit with protection plan, and 50 for "custom work" which they said is installing the third cable and the duo node.

For me, it was actually cheaper to buy the equipment and install myself for $179+$33 vs. 199 to add a hopper + 65 for tech to install + the 4-5 months @ 6/month or whatever it is that I would have to stay subscribed to the protection plan, since I don't normally have it.

Plus, I didn't have to renew my contract, which may or may not matter. Not that big of a deal to me, but if its cheaper and I don't have to renew, why not?

Yes, I am a long term customer in good standing. Have thought about Direct TV, but I end up sticking with Dish. Love their equipment. Got my first Hopper for 0 dollars, so hopefully I can get everything installed pretty reasonably for the new room. Just wish I didn't have to jump through the joey hoop just to get another hopper.

It's simple, just call a Retailer. No Joey required. It will cost $0-$15 for the Tech visit fee and $0-$50 for a second Hopper V1. Unless it involves something extraordinary, there should not be any additional fees to run any additional needed lines.

Do retailers honor the home protection plan 15 dollar tech visit fee though? I was thinking that's only if you go directly through Dish.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

Just finished S2. Watching Gary Oldman as deshvilved, dejected MI-6 agent, Jackson Lamb, is one of the best things streaming right now. Already 2 more seasons in the works. HIGHLY recommended. And yes, Mick Jagger sings the theme.

Well, the season finale went balls to the wall. Non stop action and several twisted twists. Gary Oldman at his best. Very well written and executed. Tavener owes Jackson big time. Only "if" was Jack Lowden's (River) cliffhanger, especially admin-st the buzz that he is the next James Bond in waiting.

Another great season.

Sorry to see Flyte go. I also liked the Coe character. Sooner or later someone is going to take Taverner out. I think I will enjoy that.

I read that Lowden (River) was photographed during production of Season 8. Hopefully he will be back for 7 as well.

Hear, hear! Flyte was probably the most competent character in the show. We were also sad to see Coe come up short against the Russian operative.

Still some uncertainty about the last five minutes. The line from Lamb about "faking one's death" gives us something to think about until the next season.

Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) - Had never heard of this but some of you might find this news story helpful

Now right up front....this is NOT intended to devolve into a "pot is good" vs "pot is bad" thread. The whole point is to make you aware of a potential problem that a person can develop when they start smoking pot at a young age. Not that they WILL, but CAN. Kinda like getting lung cancer from smoking cigs....some do, some don't. The purpose of posting this news story is to keep anyone from paying an outrageous emergency room bill......knowledge is power.
While this may not affect you, you might run into someone who is experiencing these symptoms and can share the info. Fortunately, it looks like stopping smoking is the cure and isn't a permanent condition.

What supplements have you found that really helped your overall health

Didn't see a thread like this so I figured why not start one. This is about natural supplements. If you aren't into supplements, fine, but please let those of us who do want to discuss this discuss it.

The first one I wanted to mention has been a real life changer. I'm 62 and still do all of my own install work at my business....also do all the yard work at the house. A few years ago I started noticing that I was losing my range of movement, it was even getting hard to bend over and lace up my boots. Almost got stuck in an attic because I couldn't get turned around once the work was done. Didn't think much of it and figured with age comes stiffness that was only going to get worse as time went on.
It was then that I stumbled across a video which was discussing rotator cuff tears and why they were to prevalent these days. Turns out, the culprit is a simple deficiency in MANGANESE which is key in keeping your tendons flexible. Most anti-biotics strip your body of any manganese it might have had which is why certain anti-biotics, especially those in the Cipro family. I actually knew a man who had two tendons tear while on that stuff.
Went to Amazon and ordered some manganese. Now it took a while, it wasn't instant, but gradually I have regained all of my flexibility. I can bend over and touch my toes while standing with no pain and putting on my boots is no longer a chore.
Pretty cheap too. The bottle I ordered was a 200 ct for under $13. They said to take double the normal dose for the first month because most people are severely lacking, then go to one a day.

Kinda the whole idea is to mention something and explain WHY it is something we might want to add to our daily routine.
This is what I got from google. Looks like I'm going to be adding them, thanks

Key Health Benefits
    • Digestive Health: One ounce (28 grams) of chia seeds provides nearly 10 grams of fiber, which promotes regular bowel movements, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and helps prevent constipation. [1, 2]
    • Heart and Cardiovascular Support: Rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)—an essential plant-based omega-3 fatty acid—chia seeds can help lower blood pressure, reduce triglycerides, and improve cholesterol profiles. [1, 2, 3]
    • Blood Sugar Regulation: The combination of soluble fiber and protein slows down carbohydrate digestion, preventing sharp blood sugar spikes after meals. [1, 2]
    • Weight Management: When soaked in liquid, chia seeds absorb up to 10 to 12 times their weight in water. The resulting gel expands in the stomach, increasing feelings of fullness and curbing appetite. [1, 2, 3]
    • Bone Strength: They contain high levels of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, which are vital for maintaining bone density. [1, 2, 3]
    • Antioxidant Protection: Compounds like chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid help fight cellular damage from free radicals and reduce chronic inflammation. [1, 2, 3]

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

The fiber coming in to the house looks like 300 ohm old TV wire I think that is the weak point.

I thought Voyage was decent (for the first two seasons). The rest, not so much. All other shows were pretty lame, IMO. Especially Land of the Giants.
