Hopper 3 Self-Activation

[TechWriter]

I know DISH insists on doing initial Hopper 3 installs, but is it possible to buy a Hopper 3, wire it up, and install it yourself?

You can self install a hopper 3 but it may require you that when you do have wired up correctly that you may have to call Dish network to have the hopper 3 activated.

Yes. I did. However, be absolutely sure you know what you are doing because the reps are not going to want to explain anything to you.

I would just let the techs hook it up and let them activate the Hopper 3.

This is for an RV. DISH is clueless about them.

If they do not know about activation, if you know how to do it, then you should do it!!!!

Which part are they clueless about? I've installed a fair number of RV's.

Pretty sure you are the exception not the rule.

I lived in a fifth wheel for 14 years and had several dish receivers installed by a tech on a tripod allover the USA with never a problem. The last one was a hopper 3

After moving every 2 weeks I am fairly good at connecting and setting up a dish system. This time I am not using a tech and am a little fuzzy on activation of a new hopper 3.
