Well I know many , Myself included that have and own Multiple H2s that will be disappointed that they have to give up these for only H3s.
Different nodes( H1, H2) vs whatever they call it for the H3's . Obviously different distribution tech involved.
I Don' think it would. I mean the whole purpose of the switch is to allow you to use regular lnbs to power the switch and accomplish what they can do now with the new hybrid lnb. This also means you can use more than one dish or bigger dishes for each sat location to prevent rain fade. But who knows , you might be able to use the hybrid lnb and the switch deactivates the lnb, in place of the switch?
Thanks MikeD-C05. I think you are probably correct. This sure is exciding we are getting closer to the new DPH42 switch. I can only imagine how nice it is not to have any more conflicts when I switch to the Hopper 3.
Looks like you can use DPP.
I have looked at that diagram. I am going to use only one DPH42 switch for two Hopper 3s and four Joeys, no amplifier. If you look close at the new switch there are four ports so it appears to me it will see four satellites for a 1000+ dish. The amplifier appears to only have three satellite input ports.
But there is, unfortunately, a power inserter, so one more precious electrical outlet used up in one room and NONE left in another room, but I think I can move things around to provide an outlet for the PI. However, I shall view the glass has half FULL. I look forward to multiple H3's.
He, he,Sounds like you need one o' these...
. That was funny. What's embarrasing is I have TWO UPS's with TEN outlets each, in EACH room. One room can accomodate the power inserter because I do have two free outlets. The thing is that in the other room two 10 outlet UPS's is still not enough. For that room I also connected a TEN outlet surge protected multiplier (almost full) on another wall outlet for less critical things. What I will do is disconnect one device from the battery outlet of one UPS (a less critical device), and reconnect it to the surge multiplier so that the Power Inserter of the DPH42 has battery access so the DVR keeps recording in a power outage. It can be a pain to access the rear outlets of the UPS in that room, but it can be done for the love of an H3..
