Hopper 3 requires higher mount antenna?

[bobvick]

The final result is Dish says I am tagged as a low antenna (at 16ft) and if I want to find a retailer to mount the H3 that might be the way to go. Sounds to me like they left me hanging
and taking my own risk. So much for being a customer since 1997! I will get a super joey and give it another crack in the summer. Meanwhile I will enjoy Sat 129 on my current Hopper.

I would give DIRT another try. Sounds like they have your market marked as "low beam" it is an issue that I have seen several post about when wishing to upgrade to Hopper 3. I think that DIRT can probably help you with this issue.

Dirt advise they cannot over ride as my "file is tagged low beam"?

Try another dirt agent. They have helped others get around that same issue.

When I install a hybrid system for any Hopper / or HD system in general I can manage to hit 68/70 on 119, 60/69 on 110, and 53/60 129.
I generally mount to Fascia, Direct to Wall or in a lot of cases Roof with extra precautions. ( wherever I get best LOS) As long as your signals are above 50 your good, leaving 5% for weather variables. Under 45 you will lose channels.
