3 hoppers on one dish with a wing dish

[all4jo]

Hi guys i have a eastern arc dish hooked up to 2 dpp44 a duo node and a single node to 3 hoppers. I also have a old dish with a dpp twin lnb pointed at 119 so that i can receive all american direct channels hooked up to the extra port of the first dpp44. The problem im having is that only one of the hoppers can see the 119 sat, the other 2 hoppers get stuck at the Network table screen.
Is there a way to fix this?

The Hopper that works is on the solo node?

yes

yes

Well... There's one troubleshooting test you could make.

Also, how are the DPP44's connected to the nodes? And are you certain all 4 passthrough cables between DPP44's are good? Where are the power inserters connected to the DPP44s?

Eastern Arc Dish to dpp44---to duo node ---to dpp44----to single node.
i connected single cable from wing dish to second dpp44 port 4.
One of the hoppers is able to pick up 61.5,72,77 and 119 the others can only pick up 61.5,72,77.

Well, there's your answer. Your solo node Hopper sees all 4 sats because 119 is only connected to the 2nd DPP44. You need to connect the EA dish (3 cables) plus 119 into the 1st DPP44, and then use all 4 passthrough cables to the second DPP44.

Yep this. Also, in case you didn't already know, you can hook a cable from one of the CLIENT ports of the duo node to the CLIENT port of the solo node for Hopper sharing between all three Hoppers.
