new install

[Rainy99]

here is my situation. Current set up is a dish 1000.2 three coax running to three units, they are vip722k, vip 612 and a vip 211k. just purchased a hopper and two joeys i beleive the hopper is a 2000 which would mean the first generation. What do i need to change with my current set up to install.

Thanx

Get rid of the 722k and 612. As you cannot have a hopper with any other type receivers except for a 211

Did you get a Solo Node,a Tap and a two way splitter?You will only need two coax lines from LNB (ports 1 & 2).

To continue your last sentence: to the node. Then you add your coaxes to the other side of the node to your Hopper and Joeys.

If you want to continue providing satellite to the 3 TV locations you will need to add at least 2 Joeys to your current equipment read Claudes post.

So as you can see from my first post my current set up and my new proposed set up. Do I need to change lnb, what about switching?

So, was that $50 for the Hopper, and $20 each for the Joeys? Did you buy that from Dish or from someone else? Just curious.

 

[Rainy99]

yes bought it used

yes bought it used

Okay, thanks. I was just wondering how much Dish would charge if I bought an original Hopper from them.
