I currently have three 722s which are connected to nine TVs in our house. I have a three story setup where the three 722s are independent.
Basement - Two lines in. One to 722 and one to OTA. This gives me three tuners. There are two TVs. The 722 TV1 feeds one and the TV2 feeds the other. Basic setup.
Main Floor - Two lines in. One to 722 and one to OTA. This gives me three tuners. There are four TVs. The 722 TV1 feeds one and the TV2 feeds a second one. I split the output of TV1 and TV2 to feed two other TVs in other rooms through coax. The 3rd TV can only see TV2 and I like the fact that I can use the TV2 remote in that room to also change the channel. The 4th TV can see TV1 or TV2. I can use the TV2 remote if using TV2 tuner but if using TV1 tuner I can not use the remote since it needs line of sight (not a problem).
3rd Floor - Two lines in. One to 722 and one to OTA. This gives me three tuners. There are three TVs. The 722 TV1 feeds one and the TV2 feeds a second one. I split the output of TV1 to the third one.
I can use the TV2 remote if using TV2 tuner but if using TV1 tuner I can not use the remote since it needs line of sight (not a problem).
I currently have nine tuners. With the 3rd floor the kids have left the nest so that configuration can change. I do not need the dedicated tuners up there. I need to keep the main floor and basement separate for the in-law suite.
My first thought was to just keep the basement as is with the 722 and add a Hopper/Joey setup to the main and 3rd floor. Will Dish allow this? I have read different things about this. My thought was to add one hopper to the main floor with an OTA. I would add one Super Joey to the second TV. I would split the output from the super joey so that I can also feed a 3rd TV on that floor. I assume since the rooms are side by side the super joey remote could be used in each room. I would split the signal out of the hopper to the 4th one. It is fine is that room just shows what is on the hopper. I only have coax runs to the 3rd and 4th TV. Is this a problem based on the outputs on the hopper and the super joey?
I would add a wireless joey to the 3rd floor. I have no coax runs to the 3rd floor from the main floor hopper. I would split the output from the wireless joey to all three TVs up there. It is fine is all three just show what is on the wireless joey. I only have coax runs to the second and third TVs. Can I split the signal okay out of the wireless joey?
With this hopper setup I will get five tuners including the OTA correct? One is dedicated to Prime. The other four can be shared by hopper/joey depending on recording and viewing. With two 722s I get six so I am losing one basically correct?
