3 Hoppers on one Dish?

[TheHopperHoarder]

Anyone know how I can wire 3 Hoppers (for 3 TVs)? I know that the normal setup for 3 TVs is One Hopper+2 Joeys but over years I ended up acquiring a second Hopper and now a third.

I currently have a Hybrid Duo Hub and a Hybrid Tap installed in my home. I don't really need to have the DVR recording separated between all the Hoppers, if that makes the wiring any different. Whichever would be the simplest/easiest way to wire and get the job done is fine by me.

Is it possible to connect one Hopper to the Client port, or does it have to be connected to Host/Adv Client to be able to work?

Obviously, I'm not an expert in this stuff as you guys can see, but I have enough tools/know-how to do it and I am willing to buy whichever parts to get it done.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my post and for any help you may have.

While you can do two, I don't believe you can do three and that would require a second dish.

Are you sure? I remember reading a post where someone did it using a DPP44 Switch but I can't find the diagram. It was from many years ago, not sure if there's any new ways to do it.

Unless something changed (and its possible) I was told before that it couldn't be done due to the number of Moca frequencies.

But its been a few years since anyone has asked about 3 hoppers.

You could definitely do it with the new DPH 34 switch on a single dish.

As long as they can be trucked together, the ability is there.

if your looking to make 3 hoppers into one big hopper good luck won't work. all your doing is making 3 zones!!! there is no way to make 3 hoppers into one big media server like thing!!! it would just create 3 zones if you had a large house!!! don't ask how i know this

I wasn't looking at connecting them all together to share DVR recordings and whatnot, was thinking it might be possible having three of them run independently but running off of the one satellite dish.

I know there's not any reason to need 3 Hoppers, like I said, I wasn't even sure if such a thing would be possible. It was by coincidence that I happened to get a third Hopper in my hands and was playing around with the idea in my head.
