Can you hook your EHD up to either the hopper or a Joey? I would hate to lose the ability to watch shows I have already stored on my EHD.
EHD to the Hopper, UNLESS it's a 211 EHD...no.

Looks like I'll have an extra EHD after I upgrade to the Hopper and my 211k can no longer be used. Luckily I own it and can always use it again if Dish changes their mind on Vip receivers on Hopper accounts.
What are going to do about your tailgater?
A few things...
The folks from DISH were watching your comments and feedback carefully during the chat and they ARE paying attention!
First they are telling me they are seeing what can be done about people with Tailgaters so they don't need a seperate account. (Keep your fingers crossed there guys!)
I didn't know Dish has been in business that long...(this is after being wit dish for 20 years).
Personally I think the best (and smartest) thing to do is to allow for one (and only one) ViP receiver allowed on a Hopper account.Scott my fingers are crossed but I also hope this change if it does happen does not apply only if you have a 211k and a Tailgater. The wife and I purchased a 722K for the motorhome so that we could take content with us via EHD not to mention how nice it is when were not in the motorhome but want to have say a Superbowl or Daytona 500 party to setup the tripod hookup the 722 in the garage and we're ready to roll. One quick call to reactivate and one the next day to deactivate and it's a painless party. Well other than the cleanup afterwards. So if you get access to someone's ear at Dish you might mention that RVers don't just use the 211k/Tailgater.
Thanks.

Well I called dish today to cancell since Direct tv whole home solution seems to be a better deal. They transferred me to the retintion department and was told by the rep that come March 15th dish will offer a special package for current customers. I hope this is true or i will switch to direct tv.(this is after being wit dish for 20 years).
I dont know about DIRECTV or what they are doing. I have also never used their HR34 Mutliroom DVR but have been told that you can only watch one recording in a remote room at a time meaning that bedroom 1 can watch a DVRed show, while Bedroom 2 can't. If this is true (and again I have never used one) that is a big limitation to have.Direct TV seems to want to pull out all the stops on grabbing current dish customers, I was told that their solution is 100% better than what dish will offer. Is tnis true?

Currently the system only works over coax. Any needed coax will be run by the installer. Yes on the EHD.A couple of questions:
How are these installed? I think I read they work over Cat 5/6, so do I need to install the cable or will they do it, and if so, how much for the install? Will the Hopper read all the recorded items I have on my external HD I currently have attached to my 722?
There are features and speed issues that might compensate for that. Your attitude doesn't surprise me tho. Hope you sell of ton of these.
