Yeah I use 2 TV's, but I use TV2 out SDTVHow many TVs are you hooked up to with that, 3? Currently I believe you are paying $10 for the DVR and $10 for the 612 as a secondary receiver for a total of $10. If you went to a Hopper 3 with two Joeys it would be $15 for the DVR and $7 for each Joey for a total of $29.

If you are only watching two TVs then all you would need is a Hopper 3 and a Joey. Total fees would be $22/mo. These receivers do not have a coax out to go to any other TVs so if you planned on mirroring you would need an RF Modulator.
I have heard the Hopper 3 was only supposed to have 8 tuners, but then they figured out how to do more than 16 so they decided on 16 and the rest is history.
If they allow this, I may consider the upgrade. I currently have two hoppers and three joeys. I need the 2 TB of storage in each so that I can play recordings off of both . You can't access all of the recordings from Dish anywhere if they are on external hard drives. Sixteen tuners are more that enough on one hopper. Its the access to the content that is important to me. What the cost remain the same?So it looks like they are planning on alowing two H3 on an account.

That is true too since I have a Directv HD DVR with content I am still watching after I discontinued service in 11/2012 with the cable disconnected before I cancelled service. It's the cable connected that can shut the box off I think.The "old" Hopper doesn't need to be connected (??). Maybe they will extend or disable the automatic de-authorization after "x" days (??). Just speculating....
They are.
Vivek forwarded me this message last night and said it was OK if I publicly posted it.
Option 2 – available towards the end of this year. We will have a new switch DPH42 – that will support using your existing 1000+ DISH and existing LNB and will also allow you to have more than one Hopper 3. So you will not require a 2nd DISH, will not have to change your current LNB and you can have multiple Hopper3’s. Since this part is still under development, I do not have a more specific date than Q4-2016 at this time.
You can put account on Hold for up to 6 months, at $5.00 per.I meant to ask a question, if I am remodeling my house in the future, how long can I suspend service since the house will be completely taken apart and new construction will expand the size of it so I won't even be here during the 7-12 months that's needed for the construction.
Regarding Vivik's statement forwarded to Scott..........
After a long and arduous journey (having to trench the yard about 100 feet which is completed and tunnel underneath a sidewalk which has been a big pain but hopefully finished soon to relocate from WA to EA because of los and local hd channels), I plan to get an H3 with one Joey (which will need 1 RG6 from the dish) soon. For reasons not relevant to this thread, If I were to decide to get another H3 when this new switch is released, will there be a need for another RG6 from the dish for this switch?
If so, can I get the installer (Dish or retailer - whoever dish sends basically) to run an extra wire (will be running through the trench in poly pipe) for that contingency? NOTE: I would be happy to pay a reasonable charge for this AND I do not really want to do it myself now and don't want to pull another through the pipe later even though I will have means to do that..
Do you already know the wiring details for the new DPH42 switch?You will need a second cable if you were to get a second Hopper 3. Are you saying you only have one cable run through that trench?

I was hoping you had some details about the switch. The only info that I know of is what Vivek sent me in his email. I am trying to stay optimistic about this new DPH42 switch. I remember back in 2007 DISH was developing a new switch that would spot five birds. But it never did come about.No. I was just thinking of there being a second dish. I don't believe there are any details on the new switch yet.
So is it still looking like next monday we can place orders and get them after the 28th ?
