Bad experience today for Hopper 3 install..

[eddie willers]

At least some of us are happy with our installs & system

My dish is chest high on the side of the house and it was clear and 60 degrees when the installer came. We had a good time and he played with the kittens.

I'd be happy if I could get an install or at least an idea when I will be able to

Have you contacted Dish?

Yes my dish is pointed at 61.5, 72 and 77 which is actually 4 satellites and the the lnb for the hopper 3 is not compatible with my setup

You've got a very unique situation if you are also getting international programming off of 118 and 77. But, it looks like your local channels are from Harrisburg. Those locals are on 61.5. You have no need for 77 at all unless you are getting some international programming from it.

I have only 1 dish and no international programming, I have Everything pack programming and they keep telling me I would miss some channels without all three satellite locations

Unless your locals are on 77 then they are wrong. All the main programming and most EA locals are on 61.5 and 72. If you haven't contacted DIRT already you probably should.

They keep telling me I have 4 satellites so I assume one location has 2 satellites on it?

 

[cfunk]

I have been in correspondence with dirt since 1/30/16

If you've got 61.5, 72 and 77 then you have 3 satellites or orbital locations. Doesn't matter how many satellites are actually parked out there.

Thanks everyone! I sent an email to Dirt to see what is going on

Just told by Dish no one with Eastern Arc is getting a Hopper 3

If that is the information presented to you by Dish, then the person that you spoke with is incorrect. Call back and speak to someone else, or start a conversation here with DIRT.

That is definitely not true. I've installed a couple dozen Eastern Arc Hybrid LNB's and Hopper 3's myself personally.

I have been on the Eastern Arc (119, 110, 129) since 1998 and my Hopper3 works just fine. But I just have the 3 standard sats and no wing dish.

 

[cfunk]

I thought the eastern arc was 61.5,72 and 77

What Arc are you?

 

[cfunk]

Years ago I was 112 and 119 with separate dish with 61.5 for HD then that was changed to 1 dish with 61.5,72 and 77

Yea except 110, 119 and 129 is the Western Arc.
