Will Hopper Support a USB Hub??

[ross9]

Since OTA is coming "SOON" I just checked and there are only 2 USB ports on the Hopper. With HIC and Sling there is not alot of extra room. Will the Hopper support a USB Hub

Yes I believe it will, however it needs to be a POWERED USB Hub.

I'm using one now for the Sling adapter and EHD without issues....

Yes, I have two EHD's connected to mine through a hub.

Actually doesn't the Hopper have 3 USB port? 2 in back, 1 in front. Regardless, I was thinking of the same thing since i have an EHD and a Sling Adapter. I didn't want to have to use the front port fro aesthetic purposes. I'm really hoping Dish enables the eSATA port soon since my EHD will also do eSATA.

I was considering putting a surplus USB hub I have behind my Hopper becasue I have an EHD, Wi-Fi adapter, and a Sling Adapter.

I'm going to give it a try to night to eliminate the EHD plug sticking out of the front of my Hopper.
