7 rooms????

[roadrunner562]

Currently have:
1 - 925 connected to 4 tvs. Turner 1 to living, turner 2 den, 2 bedrooms
1 - 625 connected to 1 tv
1 - 625 connected to 2 tvs

Could I get a hopper/Joey setup with this? If so, how? 2 hoppers/5 joeys? Would it be worth it to switch?

For HD in all rooms, more storage space, dvr sharing, Bluetooth, Pandora, sling compatibility, IPVOD over broadband, Prime time anytime and auto hop? My answer is yes, make the change.

I think the way to look at it is by the number of potential views on a regular basis. I would go with the following, 3 tuner/Hopper and fill out with Joeys to meet the number of locations.

1 person = 3 tuners
2 people = 6 tuners
3 people = 6 tuners
4 people = 6 tuners lending towards 9
5 people = 9 tuners

Currently have:
1 - 925 connected to 4 tvs. Turner 1 to living, turner 2 den, 2 bedrooms -> 1 Hopper to LR, 1 Joey + RF modulator to den & 2 BR
1 - 625 connected to 1 tv -> 1 Joey (or 1 Hopper depending on the number of simultaneous tuners you want at that tv)
1 - 625 connected to 2 tvs -> 1 Hopper to 1st TV, 1 Joey to 2nd

Total 2 Hoppers, 3 Joeys, 1 RF modulator, $38/month equip fees.

To serve all TV's independently (no sharing like you do today), you'd need 2 Hoppers and 5 Joeys as you said, $52/month.

To duplicate exactly what you have today, see above.

Can you get 5 Joeys? I was told you can only get 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys.

You can buy a 5th Joey for $99. You could also move up to 3 Hoppers but that would run you a minimum of $350 - $400. At that point you need additional switches and an extra node.
