I don't think anyone is going to activate it. Dish knows how slow the 1s are with the H3 and they are not going to leave themselves open to multiple trouble calls. If the OP bought his Joey 1 to use with his H3, its kind of buyer beware. Know what you are buying before purchasing it. I know the original question was would it work and my answer was yes. I also qualified that yes with the slowness of it. While the OP may be just pleased with that slowness because he doesn't use that Joey much, Dish is saying they aren't and that is how it is.
