I'm thinking your hybrid ea lnb with a duo hub should run both receivers.

A Hopper 3 and a Wally on one Hybrid LNB? I'm thinking it won't. In fact, I know it won't.

Why? I'd be willing to bet it would. I've pre downloaded wallys on my hybrid lnb at home. And 722's... I know for a fact that ANY single receiver will run on a hybrid lnb. I download two hopper slings at the same time on my hybrid lnb at home.

Yup, all those receivers work just like you say on a Hybrid LNB but if you connect a Hopper 3 to port #1 on a Hybrid LNB then port #2 is disabled. I'll take any bet on this that you want to make as I have tried it in the past and I just tried it again this afternoon to be absolutely positive before I responded to your post.

And like I said earlier, if you run two lines into a DUO HUB, you can run TWO HOPPER 3's off that one hybrid lnb. I'm fully aware without the hub, port two gets disabled.

I don't recall doing this lately.... but how come that you can re-point the dish with hybrid lnb and hopper 3 powered on, if port 2 is disabled?

;) That what i know is that always when i connect the meter to port 2 on hybrid LNB it worked just fine :cool:

Yes, if the Hopper 3 is turned off then port #2 will show a signal on a meter sometimes. Sometimes it will even show a signal with the Hopper 3 turned on except the signal is immediately lost on the Hopper 3 when the meter locks on.

But the point is that you can't have another receiver that works attached to port #2 if a Hopper 3 is working on port #1. Can we agree on that? :)

I think I just read 28 confusing posts about port 1 ,2 and even 3 . I need a beer.

You can't. You have to remove the cable from the back of the Hopper 3. Hopper Duo's are the same way

:) We may agree on this.
Never tried second receiver on port 2 with Hopper 3, and never observed if the hopper 3 have signal at the time I adjusting the dish.

But I always attach my meter on port 2 on hybrid LNB and always works ;)

We did agreed that the official way is DPP LNB and 42 switch or second dish.
With 1k2 DPP LNB you can attached the Wally straight to port #1 or #3 on the LNB or to the 42 switch port - 2.
....from there you can experiment as much as you want.

My installer tried to run 2 lines from a hybrid lnb into Duo hub when I first had my two Hopper3 receivers installed. Of course it would not work. I finally showed him how he needed DPP lnb and a DPH42 switch. I showed him the diagram and pictures from the SatelliteGuys website. You need to listen to JSheridan and Hipkat. They know what they are doing.

yes my installer tried the same thing with 2 hopper 3's running both on a Hybrid and Duo Hub.. it did not work. So he had to put on a DPP LNB and a DPH42 with power inserter. works just fine now.

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. :eek

Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

I'm pretty sure the most you can get is seven.

What America can't afford is the payments on $80,000+ pickups and SUVs and $40,000+ crossovers.

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.

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....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

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

Great ending, but it ran in circles most of the season.

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.

Might be worth just to ditch the hopper plus. No issues here on h713

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!!!
