A few questions about upgrading equipment or maybe buying our own equipment and maybe adding another coax cable line for the other bedroom
Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my questions about upgrading or buying our equipment.
I will get into my questions below. Our contract with dish will be up in late February of 2026 and the family was talking about either staying with dish or going somewhere else for tv services. We talked about maybe this time buying our own equipment from dish or from a dealer. Our current set is two hoppers with sling I cannot recall what the hopper version is 1 or 2. I think its version 2 and one joey. Our duo node from dish is 185836 and satellite dish is 1000.2.
1. Can the hopper 3 with sling work with 1000.2 satellite dish and duo node of 185836.?
2. Which dealer would you recommend buying the hopper 3 with sling from if we go that way for it.? We live in western washington state if that helps.
3. If we do buy equipment to own will dish network give us problems about it. Can we own more than one hopper on our account with them?
4. If we could we would like to own most of our equipment, maybe one hopper 3 that would be mine, and maybe another hopper 3 or hopper 2 with sling for my parents for their living room and maybe one joey for their bedroom.?
5. What steps should we take to make sure dish network knows we own our equipment like hoppers and joey. The satellite dish and duo node is their equipment and not ours.
6. There was some small talk about asking dish network to come out and add another coax cable line and maybe getting another joey for the other bedroom. Will dish network allow your home to be wired for four rooms? If so, what can I do to help dish network at my end?
7. What other things should we think about before we go this way if we do. I want to stay with dish, mom is really thinking about changing ships on this and dad is in the middle about this and really does not care. He just wants his western channels and mgm channels.
If I have missed any info about this, please let me just looking forward to getting advice about this and what steps to take to do this right and safely.
