Hopper Plus?

would Dish "sell" me the 2nd H3, or would I have to purchase it elsewhere?

They possible would but it most likely would be cheaper to buy elsewhere

Why do you need two Hopper 3s instead of one plus a Joey

He already answered that in post number 12. If it were me I would just add 2 Joeys along with one Hopper and be done with it.

 

[navychop]

Agreed. Plan 12 may not be best solution.

 

[n0qcu]

Really though he would just have to put the H3 where the component is needed and a joey where his second HWS is located.

 

[navychop]

Yep. And if he wants 3, look at the back of the Joey.

No, would need 2 he's as I use the component out of 1 to feed another TV via cat5

So, you're willing to pay $270 for a second Hopper 3 plus the additional switch hardware plus the $15/mo. for the second Hopper 3 fee, just so you can have an analog "HD" signal instead of going with a Joey for a true HDMI output and replace the old Component-input TV with a modern HDTV set for the same $270?

I guess I overlooked that somehow. No one needs 32 tuners. But another Joey does seem like a better idea

Appreciate all the concern about my dish expense but my setup using the component via cat5 is for a bathroom tv, which is hd. Don't want to run another cable for joey, and already have 2 wireless Joey's. This is basically my only spending waste. If I was younger, might tackle running new cable, but not at 68.
