Hopper/Joeys in warehouse

[gms49ers]

So, does anyone have an idea of when on the 15th we can order?
Is it, say, 12:00 AM EDT on the 15th? Or is it 12:00 AM in your local time zone?

I'm REEEEAAAAALLLLY tempted to call at 12:01 AM Eastern (10:01PM Mountain) and see what happens.

The DISH Network computers are not usually updated until around 6AM ET.

I wouldn't try ordering then though as chances are they will mess something up because its new to them.

How likely will ebay and craigslist be full of previously owned vip recievers? Lol

I have one listed in the Classified forum right now. Only one owner. A little old lady that only used it to watch Church services on Sundays.

How long would you say they need to figure it out? Two hours?

Please report how the install goes, including how long it takes, and first impressions.

I haven't heard anything. I'll let everyone know as soon as I get mine.

Honestly I would wait til around 10am when they have everything figured out. Less stress that way.

I will be placing order tomorrow at local retailer store, this way it will be ready for the 15th. Store owner didn't know anything about an April 1st date for non retailer purchases. He said I can get 2 hoppers and 1 joey, no problem. I asked about duo node, he checked and said that they are not in yet.
He thinks that 2 hoppers will work together, as he has 2 hoppers set up at shop using two different dish setups.

 

[Scherrman]

He's not going to be able to hook you up with 2 hoppers if he doesn't get any duo nodes in by th 15th. I'm doing my install untill I get the duo nodes.

 

[Dirtydan]

He has 2 hoppers interacting right now with 2 separate dish setups, not sure if they are activated , he has no joeys yet.
I'm not in any hurry, but he said he can get me up and running with two hoppers and install duo node later.
I'll know more tomorrow.

I guess he could run two Solo Nodes off of a DPP44.

 

[Dirtydan]

I think that is what he will be doing for me, because my wing dish for 129 is too far from 110/ 119 dish, none of my stuff is dpp, so I'm thinking a new 1000.2 dish for 110/119.

Didn't you tell him you needed OTA?.If you would have the installer should have put in the MT2(Dual Over The Air Tuners Module),then you would have 4 tuners(2SAT+2OTA) in your 722k.

i'm not seeing how the two hoppers would communicate when on separate nodes.

wouldn't this require another truck roll at a later date to swap out those two solo nodes to one duo node?

 

[rdinkel]

Not if you did it yourself.

 

[sparc]

Not if you did it yourself.

I don't think the retailer in this case realizes that they'll have to go back or even explain to the customer that this would have to be done.

I personally wouldn't go with an installer who is recommending anything but a duo node for a two hopper system.

More reason to wait a while, for the wailing and gnashing of teeth to subside!

He is not recommending not using duo node, just thinks he could jury rig it til he got the duo node, and he is prepared to come back when duo node and joeys come in. I told him I can wait til all equipment is in stock.
