I recently moved into a building that was converted from business suites back into residential apartments. It was, handily enough, prewired for Dish, with a single Western Arc dish on the roof running to a DP44 multiswitch on each of four floors.
My Hopper 3 dilemma is that the new Dish Pro Hybrid LNBF appears to not be compatible with multiswitches (yet?), making MDU installations presumably impossible for now? Luckily, I'm on the top floor, so putting up a second dish with the hybrid LNBF and getting a drop through the existing conduit into the electrical closet for my floor won't be an insurmountable challenge.
Can anyone speculate on whether this just a temporary situation until Dish has hybrid-compatible multiswitches? Or is there a new method of doing MDUs with hybrid LNBFs and Hopper 3s that I've not yet discovered?
