I was just days away from switching to Direct TV to get the Whole Home DVR, when Dish announced the Hopper. I now plan to upgrade to the Hopper.
Need some help so that I am prepared and can make the installer's job as easy as possible.
I currectly have the DuoDVR 625 connected to 2 TV, and 1 standard box to 1 TV. I haven't upgraded to HD yet but will do that also with the Hopper.
Questions:
1. I have an ancient dish, should I ask that it gets upgraded also? I see homes with a different shaped and larger dish than mine.
2. I have two HD TV, one has DVI-D connection the other the newer HDMI. Will the DVI-D work with the Hopper?
3. The current 625 has the dish feed comming to the 625 and tuner 2 goes from 625 to SD TV in basement. Do I need to run a new cable to the basement SD TV or can the signal be split somehow so that the feed supplies both Hopper and Joey without running new cable? It will be a challenge to get to the basement with new able as I have a two story house and the Dish feed comes in at the attic.
4. I have ethernet access where the Hopper with be located. Will this allow internet access to all TVs through the Hopper?
