Relocate hopper

[Dugan5468]

Quick question.... I would like to move a hopper to another room that used to have a dish receiver. Do I just connect cable to sat in and HDMI?

Thanks

Gonna need more info.

Did you have 2 receivers working at the same time? One in current location and one where you want to move?

The issue is most lines are only moca no sat signal so unless you have a 2 sat node the answer is no. If it is a 2 sat node then you need to make sure that line has sat and you say there was a receiver there so the answer would be yes. (Assuming no one went up and rewired it).

Also, I hope we are using the word receiver to mean a receiver not just a box like a joey.

***my first install answer and I wasn't torn apart. Must have good teachers here.

It may be as simple as removing the coax that is attached to the Host port on the Node or Hub and attaching the coax that goes to the other room to that same Host port. Things can be dependent on the quality of that second coax as well....

Whoops, you need a cable to the Hopper in that room. You can't have a wireless Hopper. So, you need a cable to that room and attach it to the Host port of the Node/Hub...

So the cable where you want to move your receiver was not hooked up to any dish equipment?

It was hooked up to dish equipment at one time

But wirelessly? Let's make this simple. Is there a coax in that room?

So do you know why a wireless joey was Instaled in that room if there was a cable already there? (Not looking good).

I had an old 722 in the room prior to wireless joey

If you had a 722 in that room you must have a coax in that room. Now, the question was asked, why was a wireless Joey used instead of a regular one? Could it be that you wanted portability of that Joey? Or was the coax defective?

Your original Hopper location had a 3GHz coax line run from the node to the Hopper, you must duplicate that for the new location, either by extending the original cable to the new location or by connecting the cable at the new location to the host output on the node and hope it can carry the frequency.
