Been plugged in since March 5 and I can still watch all recordings. I'll leave it go for a couple more weeks or until it stops working.
Can I watch my Hopper DVR with dish disconnected?

Here it is April 2nd. Original Hopper is still plugged in since March 5th and not on an account. Hasn't been active since March 2013. I am still able to play DVR recordings.
DISH De-authorized will commence in 5....4.....3....2.....1.....
I HAD A VIP722 connected in my RV and each time that I went camping, I had to call and get a hit sent to get it to work. It would not play recordings or anything.
you could always just buy a cheap $90 tablet at Walmart and load dishanywhere on it.
Hey Jerry, did you use any kind of ground on your RV antenna? I'm setting up a Hopper 3 in my RV using a residential antenna on a tripod. Thanks. I'll keep asking this until I find someone with experience who can answer for me. Cheers. Gene
Little late to the party as he has already successfully used it off-line on his trip.
That said, your suggestion still wouldn't have solved his potentially slow internet connection.
I have a Hopper w/Sling installed in my RV and the only grounding it gets is through the RV park power panel and whatever grounding the tripod legs might get from surface soil contact.
Outstanding! One less thing to worry about. By the way, I powered up the H3 last night for the first time. No surprise I got the failed installation test screen. No reception. Today I'll try bi-passing an A/B switch yhat was already in this (used) coach, and try re-aiming the dish. Also, Jerry, I'm using a DPH WA LNBF and my feedline to the solo hub is attached to port 1 (left-most port as viewed from the dish. Is that the correct port, do you know?
It is SUCH a delight to find other RVers who weren't satisfied with the standard two tuner set-up. Mama is a huge DVR fanatic so the H3 seems to be just what the doc ordered. Now just gotta get it hopping for her!
Thanks much! Gene
I use a tablet and have a micro HDMI output and plug it in to the hotels TV on my trip to/from a summer rental. I do the same to the TV at the rental. I only rent where they have an internet connection. Dish anywhere works just fine and the tablet is a great remote control with touch screen. When I am at home, I use it in another room and eliminate the need of another Joey.
