    Good deal for hopper and some questions

If you do not have internet a lot of its functions such as on demand will not work which is the same with any dish equipment. I'd strongly suggest getting 2 hoppers even though last I checked the second...

    Adding second dish for 129

    Adding second dish for 129

    Boba thanks for the insult but in my department there is three outputs and that's all on a dpp 1k2 ea lnbf which is a pain in the ass when I have to do an upgrade with a new customer who wants to add international programming after a tech just installed a 1k2 los at the location may not even...

    Hopper enough to satisfy? I say yes!

    The only problem with the Hopper is its essentially a 3 tuner system if it was a 4 tuner system I think it would be without question the beat system available today. For example if you have 2 bedrooms and a living room and all are watching live TV no tuner for dvr recording which in my case is a...

    another pre-install wiring question

    You will need 2 lines from the dish to the diplexer location other than that its just a matter of connecting the two feeds all Hopper systems require atleast two lines from the dish to the node

    Pretty sure a 311 will not work with a 1000.? Being a mpeg 2 receiver however if it did and you had two lines running down from a 1000.2 lnbf you could connect them all to a 34 switch and connect up to 4 receivers
