Well the tech couldn't get the first hopper to activate. Not sure what happened. it was the first hopper he installed and he let it do it's updates before he even went to hook up the second hopper. no dice, it just hangs on the activation screen like it is waiting to get the authorization from dish but it never comes. they tried removing the hopper from the account, adding it back, sent about 5-6 re-hits and nothing.
we got one hopper installed and up and running so at least we will have some tv tonight, lol except we will all have to watch on one tv. lol reminds me of my childhood, except my tv is 5-6 times larger.
All in all the tech seemed very knowlegdeable and he had been installing them like what was recommended by Scott, Sherman and the like but this one box would not work. I think it had something to do with Dish's activation or something. we even swapped locations and the one working one still worked and the bad one did the same thing.
I'm dissappointed it won't be working fully tonight but know it will get fixed. He said he would be back tomorrow after they get another receiver. he asked if he should try and hook the joeys up to the one working hopper but i told him that we might hold off until we get both hoppers working, no sense adding more trouble to the install.
from playing with the working one for the thirty minutes or so it seemed very fast. very nice and zippy. the guide is a little harder to read i thought, well at least on my display. probably will just have to get adjust to that from the 722 that was at that location.
hopefully tomorrow will be better and it gets fully installed. Plus my dual dishes got upgraded to a new 1K.2 dish so that was also nice. looks much better at the dish location on our out building behind the house.
