The oficial way is: You change the hybrid LNB with regular DPP and add 42 switch.

That's not only the official way but it's the only way that I know of. :)

I can confirm that it does not. When a Hopper 3 is connected to port 1 of a Hybrid LNB port 2 is disabled.

The wire can't be bad if the Hopper 3 worked on port 1

We got that but if you want to make sure that the wally works, just swap the Hopper and the Wally at the Hopper location.

I'm thinking your hybrid ea lnb with a duo hub should run both receivers.

A Hopper 3 and a Wally on one Hybrid LNB? I'm thinking it won't. In fact, I know it won't.

we need the days where we could plug a receiver into each output on the LNB with no issues.. haha. I am working on that for a friend.. they have the equipment and a dish and just trying to get it hooked up. I have 2 hopper 3's and 3 Joey 3.0 here at my home. Running on a DHP42 switch. Looks like a DPP LNB out on the dish.

Why? I'd be willing to bet it would. I've pre downloaded wallys on my hybrid lnb at home. And 722's... I know for a fact that ANY single receiver will run on a hybrid lnb. I download two hopper slings at the same time on my hybrid lnb at home.

Yup, all those receivers work just like you say on a Hybrid LNB but if you connect a Hopper 3 to port #1 on a Hybrid LNB then port #2 is disabled. I'll take any bet on this that you want to make as I have tried it in the past and I just tried it again this afternoon to be absolutely positive before I responded to your post.

And like I said earlier, if you run two lines into a DUO HUB, you can run TWO HOPPER 3's off that one hybrid lnb. I'm fully aware without the hub, port two gets disabled.

Because a Hopper 3 disables port 2 which is why you need a DPP LNB and a 42 switch for 2 Hopper 3's.
