I wish we were busier as I want to see how many this server can handle. I am guessing about 10,000."Meanwhile, web traffic to a site called "Satellite Guys" saw a tremendous spike in popularity..."![]()

He has also chosen to replace the cable with some new stuff (see pic) that seems to be more of a weatherproof product.
Also, an actual Dish employee is doing this install and not a contractor. Which is cool because this guy is all pro so far. FYI - a 3rd party did the install that exists now.
I've gone back inside but have left my pug puppy to watch him (see pic)

I imagine that the HIC is needed for the 2nd Hopper because the 2 Hoppers don't see each other at the moment, so they can't share content. But can they just hook up the 2nd Hopper directly to the ethernet port on the router?I was under the impression that only one hopper needed internet connectivity for internet access. Also that the HIC is only required in some very specific instances where the hopper is not in the same room as the internet access.
At least that's how it's shown in the training diagrams....
You gonna spring for the screen cleaner?
