Dish network hopper 3

[Dwa723]

i just bought a brand new seal hopper 3 from eBay. I just finished opening the sealed package I noticed there was no smart card in the unit do they have a built in one?

 

[HipKat]

Yes, it's internal

 

[Dwa723]

Sorry for asking but why is there a slot that says smart card on the left side

For a possible future change. It’s happened in the past.

How long does it usually take for a hopper 3 to check switch?

How long does it usually take for a hopper 3 to check switch?

6 to 10 minutes on the initial setup, about a minute on a random manual check switch

How long is it going to take you to just relax and enjoy?

 

[Dwa723]

It’s been 4 hours. Can’t relax for that long lol.

OK, we need to go back to start. Let's see a picture of the Dish itself so we can see what we're working with

Did you change out the dish or lnb's?

110 118 119*

129

That LNB possibly won't work, although maybe. If you run port 1 to input 4 on the 42 switch (port 1 out is the 118), then port 2 to input 1, and the DP singles to inputs 2 and 3 on the switch... possibly, but you're probably better off getting a DPP500+ like in the image I posted.

TBH, you really should upgrade. I mean you're trying to put a mechanical stock 350 in a new Corvette

Thank you very much for all you help.

Is the covered dish pointing at a brick wall?

 

[Dwa723]

Which 1? Can someone plz tell 129 110 119 118 I’ll use a dish pointer and see if the guy knew what’s he’s doing

 

[Dwa723]

118 is ethnic channels am I correct

 

[navychop]

International channels.

 

[Dwa723]

Ok so void the 118.

You probably don’t need it. It has internationals, as has been posted, and a horse racing package.

So I had the hopper 3 delivers it was to late to cancel the order. Spoke to the installer he basically told me I need the 1000.2 dish. I also need the hybrid lnb for western ( not sure which one). He also shahid I need a hybrid hud ( not sure which one). He said that way I can use both satellites the 129 in the other patio to receive the 129 which the hub is suppose to help. Then use the 1000.2 for the 110,119. I then called back to get part numbers I didn’t get the proper help. I live in Canada and currently using the regular hopper. I moved for work reasons. He told me the lnb need to have a line in which will bypass the 42 switch I don’t need anymore per his instructions. I would appreciate all the help and solution if one is available.
Thank you for your time.
