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 swapped. I have one dish, and 2 722K boxes. I own the equipment and would like to do the work myself, as it's a hobby for me to learn new things.

Can someone help advise me on what's required? Or point me directly to the diy thread, if it exists?

Thanks!

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 picture.

Port 1 is into the blue and line to hopper connected to purple. I've reset the test and it verifies switch, gets past that and then spins on acquiring satellites.

Any other ideas?

Did you install a Hybrid LNB or DPH42 switch?

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 guys say you can't have both on same. The cable is still connected to LNB but detached inside house.

A hybrid LNB only has TWO ports and an input.

There are 3 ports on this LNB and an LNB In.

This is what I bought:
https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai...wi03ZD8l_rfAhXpjFQKHaLZAAsQwg96BAgTEAk&adurl=

I have port 1 connected to the hybrid solo switch, and port 3 to a vip722k. The LNB came with a cap in the box so I put it on the LNB in port.

Maybe I learned to count in a different class, but I see 2 outputs and 1 input. When a Hopper 3 is connected to port 1, it disables port 2

Yeah, run a direct line from Lnbf to hopper and see it check switch passes. And no, Joeys do not need to be connected first. That's just silly

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?

See how that LNB is marked DPP or DishProPlus. You need one marked DPH or Hybrid.

$6.3 billion in crypto stolen by hackers

This should hit a lot of folks with a dose of reality. I can only imagine how much more common this will get as AI progresses.

I read several stories on this and most are clear as mud. They say a lot of the stolen bitcoin has been "locked out" and that everyone will be made financially whole. I guess time will tell if either of these statements are actually true.

Hackers steal $6.3 billion from Binance in biggest-ever cryptocurrency theft

The company later added it began recovering assets impacted by the breach after pledging to cover losses using its Secure Asset Fund for Users.

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....

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
