Current Pricing for Two Hoppers Two Joey's

[handymantoo]

Now that the OTA is here It's time for me to upgrade to two Hoppers and Two Joey's. Back in March I was quoted $200 for Hoppers and Joeys and $95 install which they agreed to waive. I heard some mention here that the fee for Hoppers is now $50 each. Please inform me on the current prices before I order. Is it best to go to DIRT first or try customer service since they were the original to give me the quote?

Yes I would think best to go through DIRT

Correct. $50 per Hopper, Joeys are free. So 2H/2J would be $100. Just upgrade to both myself this weekend.

50.00 per hopper is a great price!

If you send me a PM with your phone/account number, I can get you upgrade details.

Can three hoppers see each other? Thinking about replacing a Joey with one.

But with BT out, and the utility of 2H/0J or even 2H/1J being even more obvious, has the 1J min per Hopper policy been changed?

I know, it'll take a while before they'll consider it.

Was the $50 per hopper correct? I just added a hopper and they charged me $100 for it.
Thanks

Very recent change. Last couple of days I believe.

I also want to know. But can two see each others recording now.

Each Hopper can view the recordings on the other, that is about it.

Yup! With the proper wiring, of course. I have a diagram of my setup if you need it.

Yes I would be interested. I assume it is a DYI project?

I would like to see this as well, it was my understanding that with 3 Hoppers, two can see the other's recording but the third could not. Unless this was another recent update.

Yup mine was DIY but I showed another user my diagram and he showed his installer and got his installer to do it :-

It's been working since day 1 when I got the third Hopper (in June) however there were some whole-home issues that would show up until S221 fixed them.

Btw, here's a pic of it in action. This was Pre-S221 as well :-





The "office" Joey was/is even on WiFi!

I'm too lazy to look for this info -

What is the monthly fee for 2 Hoppers?

I currently have a 622 and a 211k, so it's only $6.00 for DVR service and $7.00 for 211k.

Is the first Hopper free?

 

[dare2be]

Yes. 1st Hopper free, 2nd Hopper $7. $10 DVR/WH fee.

 

[navychop]

Yes.
