Best Bang for Buck

[jfchawk]

I currently have 3 tv's in main residence, a vip 722 & vip 612. Also 1 tv at secondary residence w/ vip 612 on separate dish but 1 account for both places costing just an extra hd receiver. Is this the best set up? I am at secondary frequently while wife is at main residence. Thinking about upgrading to Hopper 3 but believe would sacrifice the secondary dvr to qualify. Any downside at secondary?

If your Hopper is connected to the internet and you have internet at your secondary, you can use a Firestick with Dish Anywhere to do almost everything a Joey does

Two things I don’t like about the fire stick: 1. You cannot key in channel numbers directly, you have to scroll up or down through the guide. 2. ( the biggest pain) Having to reauthorize it with your Dish account every month or so.

The first I can live with.

The reauthorizing is a pain in the behind. And it seems to happen every few weeks sporadically which is even worse than once a month.

Agree on the reauthorizing. No good reason for that when you’re on your home network.

Or just get a wally or 211k for the second residence.

You can enter the numbers but it is a pain.

How about a Wally with an EHD instead of the Firestick? It would be a little more cost upfront and monthly but would be a much better experience than streaming outside the home network.
