Swapping joey for hopper

[kbran]

I have 1 hopper and 3 joeys. If I swap a joey for a hopper with sling before the price increase, is it a simple unplug and reinstall the new hopper? Will the wiring and switch the installer put in the attic have to have anything changed? Also would there be any additional cost for making the swap?

you'll need some rewiring with a new duo node... you can see the wiring diagrams here: http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=279755

As to upfront and installation cost, you should message DIRT and ask. It is not necessarily the same for everyone

I was told $15 to install the second hopper, plus the fee of $150.

Protection Plan would have been nice here.

It looks like he already has PP, judging by the $15 installation fee.

Ah, I was reading it as a $150 site visit. Clearly, that is the Hopper fee.
