Can I run 2 hoppers on a Home adapter(plug-to-internet)?
One Hopper hard wired to duo-port,the other via wireless network?
I have a 4 port wireless router with 2 spare ports,so can I simply plug it into a wall-plug adapter and then into the second Hopper from other adapter?
If so,will I still have separate,individual tuner and DVR ability from each hopper?
Is there a simpler way to accomplish this without another coax from hopper to DuoPort?
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Ok,but what mystifies me is that both hoppers are getting the same signal,off of the same coax.Which ever hopper is turned on first,"grabs"" the signal,and will not let it pass thru the splitter.Well, it really does not prevent the signal from passing through,but the 2nd Hopper will not get any satellite signals.
The signal will pass through the splitter if #2 hopper is turned on first,instead of number 1 hopper.That is why I thought there might be some addressing going on in the duo node.
The signal level on the splitter remains the same on both ports no matter which one is switched on.Swapping the outputs on the splitter makes no difference.The input from the duo node is on the in/out/dc port of the splitter,all ports pass dc for powering up the node,etc.
I used to install the old C Band systems, and I am familiar with the older systems of polarizer servo for even/odd channels,and the original VSO requiring an LNA (Before LNB's were invented.)The down converter was on the mast,and a channel was selected by a voltage sent from the receiver.The down converter was a Voltage Switched Oscillator.
Then came LNB's which made 12 channels available at the receiver.The LNB did the down converting from 3.2 Ghz to 950-1450 Ghz.(which contained all 12 channels.), A band spread of 500 Mhz.,which I see they still maintain.But everything else has changed...a lot.
Much better picture quality,much smaller dish,simpler installation,and simpler operator operation.
I just like to know the nuts and bolts of a system to satisfy my curiosity.I know a schematic is proprietary,so I know that is out of the question,however a detailed functional block diagram would be helpful.
Thanks

Thanks!At least I know that there is indeed some software involved in the process,not merely hardware.I suspected as much,but needed verification from someone that really knows.The details of the software are not really important,but to an old "Analog Guy" the mere existence of software is significant,and explains why a simple "Dumb" splitter will not work.
I also realize that the RG6 could not reliably carry two receivers if they were on separate channels.
Thanks again for your help!

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....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
