Couldn't stand the sluggish D* HR22 any longer. It took 2 1/2 minutes to change from channel 7 to channel 9 this morning (sitting there thinking wtf) that was the straw that broke the camels back.
Called dish this afternoon. 2H/3J install is set for this coming Sunday in the AM.
Customer service rep explained the terms of the contract in detail, the features of the hopper system, the programming and also made sure i was aware of the PTAT feature and if enabled it will use 1 of the 3 tuners during prime time hours only. He was very polite and made sure i understood everything.
CSR said that the installer will show up with 2 hoppers, 3 joeys and a free HIC.
Shortly after hanging up with the csr i received 3 emails.
First email confirming payment for the additional hopper + first month for AT250.
Second email confirming AutoPay enrollment.
Third email notifying me of 2 redeemable PPV certificates.
Just wondering if i should have received a email confirming the equipment ordered and install date?
I'm going to place 1 hopper in the basement and connect it to a very rarely watched sd tv connecting with component cables(rgb) and place the other hopper where the main tv (hd) is connecting with hdmi.
The 3 joeys go in the bedrooms on 26" hdtv's connecting with hdmi.
I have ethernet access where the 2 hoppers will go. I do not have ethernet connections in the bedrooms.
1) Will both hoppers need a ethernet connection?
2) Where should the HIC be placed, next to one of the hoppers or next to one of the joeys and will the HIC require a ethernet connection also?
Thanks
Jim
