Don't know since haven't tried more than three but I would guess its 8 just like the Hoppers.
OK, thanks. That will work for me. I just want to pair two 40.0 remotes and a 54.0 to a Wally.
I just read in the DISH RV site that the Wally can have four remotes paired up to it.
My uncle joined the DISH RV side of the house with the America's Top 250 in his new Wally. How come the satellite local channels showed up too? He did not mention anything about about locals with the CSR.
OK, maybe he won't be charged for them. There was no mention about the locals when we called and set up a new account. I am not sure if he has set up the MyDish on line account yet. I told him about it. When we were done had to call the DISH side of the the house to activate his EHD. CSR said no charge for that. We had an issue when we tried to install the OTA adapter so we are going to try it out again this week. When I installed it, it screwed up the second TV signal for some reason. His RV has the two Winegard switches and not sure if that had something to do with it. He is going to read up on the wiring schematic that came with the RV.

If he's getting the sat locals, he's paying for them. He could save the $12/mo OTA fee if he drops them. It's listed as a separate item on his account.
OK, thanks. I will see him this week and we will check his account.
Got my uncle's new DISH RV account all set up in mydish.com. Yep, you are right NYDutch, my uncle is paying for the locals. He is going to keep them for now. It's funny that the local pack wasn't even discussed when he got his new DISH account. The CSR just added them without telling us. He knows to call DISH at each destination location to change the local setup. How does he change the locals location with his smartphone? Is it in his mydish app someplace? Tomorrow we are going to try to get the OTA adapter to work, download the U484 software so he will have two tuners, and get his Winegard 4G LTE all set up. His Verizon Sim card is scheduled for delivery today. Another fun day.
If his account is eligible, yes, it's in the MyDish app under "Services", "Dish Outdoors", "Manage Local Channels".
The locals are a standard part of the Top 250 package not an add-on, but he can opt out of them if he decides to. Check the "Package Highlights" listings here.
