TWC customer- would a 2H/2J conversion be seamless?

[mhowie]

Current Time Warner Cable customer...two DVRs and two slave units...whole house DVR accessibility.

Question-- would the installation of a multiple Hopper/Joey setup be relatively seamless? I seem to recall reference to the Dish system needing two coax to each box throughout the house? This would be a showstopper as my house was wired with only one coax to each outlet. This works fine for cable TV and their implementation of MoCA, but I don't know about Dish and its Hopper/Joey system?

Thanks.

Lets assume you want two Hoppers. Three coax will go from the dish to a "duo node" and one coax will go out from that node to each Hopper. Joeys connect in a variety of ways, including wireless (after initial wired setup). So you're good to go.

One wire, one box has been the norm for quite some time.

Yes, at least 11 yrs, which was when my first, one wire per receiver was.

Please note that existing coax may not be adequate because 3 signals stacked on the cable Hopper requires 3MHz rated cable.
It almost certainly will not work with RG59 and may not even work with 2.2MHz rated RG6. Sorry if that would be difficult.

Sorry, yes GHz not MHz, I should know better. That's what happen when you let your fingers do the writing.
