Setting up my home Hopper in the RV

[topcat112]

I know similar topics have been posted several time but I cannot find my question. I want to setup a simple single tv in my RV using the Hopper. Can I just run a single cable from this portable dish to my Hopper? I have a 1000.2 dish on the tripod.
I am a beginner with Satellite dishes.

Thanks in advance,

If you only have need of two channels, yes....

You could mount the Solo on the 1000.2 dish. You will need two cables from the LNBF head to the Solo inputs.

You can then run one cable from the Solo to the Hopper.

Thanks for the reply. Does is matter which connectors I use on the LNBF?

Just don't use the LNB IN connection. Also, you'll need to use 3GHz RG6 coax to connect the Solo node to your Hopper.

I went through the process on the Dish website and selected ONE TV for the Smart Pack, and a message popped up reading, "even with one TV, you can still enjoy the Hopper ..." I was shocked. I though Dish didn't allow ONE TV installs for the Hopper, and included for FREE with the lowly Smart Pack. I must have missed something. Anyway, my point is that if someone has an RV and they only need ONE TV, apparently Dish has FREE installation and FREE upgrade to a Hopper for ONE TV.
