Dish ( Hopper) installer calls in sick !!

[vinobabu]

I was so looking forward to the Hopper/Joey install this morning ...only to get a call from Dish rep informing me that the tech scheduled to visit called in sick!! Great! They are not sure if they will be able to send a replacement today.

Having read all the horror Hopper install post, I am almost tempted to call and cancel the install all together and wait till all the bugs have been worked out.

Any thoughts advice?

All the Hopper installs go fine as long as the installer follows procedure and does not Hook up the Joeys until after the Hopper does both of its software downloads.

If they dont follow the procedure then we get the issues that we have seen here.

Keep your fingers crossed. Hopefully they will send you a tech like I had yesterday. 2 1/2 hour install of 1 Hopper and 2 Joeys including replacing the old RG59 with RG6 for the Hopper. The only thing he did with the Joeys while the Hopper was downloading is take thim out of the box and place them on the shelf. And it was his first install.
