Cool, So no Bricked Joeys?
I moved my appointment up to the 15th now so hopefully its a smooth transition.
Stinks I have to go back to the 1000.2 dish, but hopefully the Hybrid signal is better.

Nope... no bricked Joeys.
The only issue I had with the install was during cleanup the technician cut a coax outside and we had to re-terminate it. Otherwise, the signal looks just as good (if not a little better).
Again, hope you have similar luck. Would love to hear how things go once your appointment is done.

About a month or so ago I was quoted $100 for a H-3 upgrade. Then the CSR looked at my account history again, and said it would be free.
I have status with Dish as I have been with them since 1997 and am on auto pay.
I also just upgraded to Hopper 3 and Joey 2. I had two first gen Hoppers. Was hoping to keep one, but are incompatible with each other. I've been with Dish for 22 years with auto pay. Total out of pocket cost for my upgrade was $0. Pretty darn happy with that and no issues so far.

Congratulations on your long relationship with Dish but it's at the most 20 years. Dish started service in 1996. I remember the EchoStar 1 launch on the Chinese rocket in December of 1995 like it was yesterday.
Yeah. I was kinda wondering about the 22 years...I started in Feb of 1997. Cash and carry equipment. Bought the system at Sears and installed it myself. My receivers were JVC. One model 4500, and the other was a 3500.Congratulations on your long relationship with Dish but it's at the most 20 years. Dish started service in 1996.

We gave Charlie $1000 up front to bring to China with him when he went for the launch and he brought bring us back a model 1000 I think it was. That's how us original dealers got started.
I got the first one I sold about 18 years ago.
I might still have mine buried somewhere. One of these days I'll have to look for it.
I have to wait for DPH42 to accomodate 2 H3's looking at 4 sats. But when it is available, I hope to step-up to H3. I hope I get a good upgrade deal.
I kept them in a closet for a couple years. Finally I took all the old Hughes DTV receivers I had plus the aforementioned boxes to the local recycling station.I might still have mine buried somewhere. One of these days I'll have to look for it.
Those JVC boxes were work horses. Never gave my a bit of trouble.
