Huh. What's that "OUTPUT" port on the HopperGo?

USB to an Android device. Apple does not allow this type of connection to their iOS device.

Here is more pics from my other camera. Including more of Wally.

No possibility of EHD expandability?

Oh No! Touch screen remote? I thought that died with the terrible attempt with the 922. So we are losing the fantastic form of the current remotes with the Hopper 3? That stinks big time!

The touch screen version appears to be optional.

 

[lakebum431]

Right, but the other remote is a very different form than the "old" remotes (which I think are by far the best on the market).

I'm excited to use both of them.

If I move to the H3, I'll continue to use Harmony remotes.

The current 40.0 remotes will work with the H3.

That is fantastic news. Thanks.

There is the Wally now Vivek just told me something very about it, when used with a new Hybrid LNB you can hook up up to 16 Wally's with just one wire from the LNB. ( and using cable splitters) this is great for commercial uses and cuts down install time big time.

Well that would mean it should be no problem For Wallys and The Hopper 3 then no?

Isn't there 3 ports on the New LNB, why couldn't you just run 2 lines then?

I could Have 2 Wallys, a Hopper 3 and 3 4K joeys.
Right all from the same LNB?

I don't want to give my elderly mother Joeys.

I don't think so, as I believe that Scott said that once you plug the Hopper 3 in, the new LNB no longer runs in the mode that is needed for the Wally (or other legacy receivers). I can't remember if that is the "x" band or "z" band.

That stinks, and If I get a Hopper 3, they won't allow my 211z anymore?

I believe they're still going to be allowed, just not on the same dish.

I'm going to put up another Dish then.
I have a 1000.4, I just need a New lnb, and I'll hook my 211 to it.

But I wonder what Dish will say when they come to hook up the Hopper3?

Depends on the installer but they probably won't say much. Just make sure they understand not to mess with your second dish or wiring.

 

[lakebum431]

You will probably just need to claim it is a "tailgater" dish. I honestly don't know.

Not for the older folks in my family. They find the current remotes very confusing and are excited about the new remotes and voice search (Android and Amazon FireTV with voice search work great). They really like how the numbers are not visible unless they need them. When they were younger, the current remote was not a big problem, but it is to them now! Mom can't wait for the new remotes. She likes what she has seen so far and really wants voice search because she can't handle the current search process on current remotes. This is the old EZ remote, which never interested them, but a slimmed down design that has sophisticated capabilities. That's what they (my old folks) want.

As under the RV arrangement. I thought Scott said a separate account if at home (with a Hopper 3 install at home), but I suppose there are ways to make it work at home.
