I am interested in upgrading to the Hopper. I have 3x722s, 1x612, and a 510, so I would like to go to a 2xHopper & 6xJoey setup. In addition, I have a second account for my mother-in-law that I would like to upgrade programming and transfer the owned 722. Please PM me, so we can discuss detail and see how much the upgrade will cost. Should be an easy install as all the RG6 wiring home-runs to a DPP44 and DP33.
I'm not sure how you consider this a hideous release though. So far I think it's been a great product.
Realism...others have reported similar issues...multiple reps giving different prices despite earlier promises. Configurations promised that aren't actually reflected on the work order, etc. There is a precedent.
Is the 4 Joey limit on a 2 Hopper system a technical limit or a leased box limit. If it is not technical the the customer should be able to buy 2 more Joeys, or for some already allowed to lease over prior tuner limits get a waiver from CEO, etc.
I think it's more of a business rule. I think 4 is the most that can be leased. I'm pretty sure technically it can handle 6 but you would have to purchase the other 2 Joeys. I'll have to check the business rules. I haven't had a chance to go through the additions since the Hopper was released.
If so, those with 7 or 8 TVs wouldn't have much to complain about - Joeys are not expensive.
They are not too expensive but I still think they should be cheaper. No way Dish spent that much to have them manufactured.
Yeah, but I don't think the current Joey purchase price is a particularly big deal for a 7 or 8 HDTV customer.
The limit is now 3 Hoppers, and 9 Joeys. This is not something that DIRT can set up, but we can have someone from the proper department call
I believe you received a response this morning, but please let me know if you have not

Out of the 100+ people I've given upgrade info to, there's only been 1 (well, now 2) that wanted 3 Hoppers. It's not often it's needed, but it is possible.
Goo, I have no idea how you wire that baby. I actually have a customer that could use that set up. They have two accounts just in their home currently.
1 Duo node, 1 solo node (so they wouldn't integrate unless something like a trio node came out). Likely with 2 "trunked/cascaded" DPP44 switches. I can make one, but it won't look pretty
With the two separate nodes, is there a way to get all three hoppers and joeys to see each other? or would it be two separate networks?
