Adding an SJ is certainly less trouble than a 3rd or 4th Hopper which are allowed. There has been no indication of a policy change after training and retailer chats. Until someone actually does it, we won't know. The way CSRs are we may have two or three answers before the dust settles, but I'd bet the cost of an SJ the existing policies will hold.

I don't see an issue with it. Just tell them it's purchase or better yet just have DIRT activate it for you. You don't have to call Dish when you self install, you can use DIRT.
Can someone confirm if internet is required for all six tuners to be utilized, or is that only necessary for VoD (among other features)?
I currently have an H2K and one Joey. Looking to upgrade to the Super Joey. Currently there are two coax wires coming through my wall. Looking at the wiring diagram, there will still be just two wires coming through the wall. All the changes will be outside, consisting of adding the integrator, with one coax from the dish to it, and then the jumper from the single node to the integrator. Is this correct? I have no problems with the installer coming inside, I just don't need more holes drilled in my walls!
Where is your Node at? You will now need three cables run to that location. Two cables to the Node and one to the Integrator. The Integrator should be next to the Node for proper grounding. From there you can still have two cables running in the house.
I redid the install over weekend, moved the solo and the DPP44 inside the garage. Only 3 lines going into the garage from the LNB grounded @ the demark. Will never trust the hot Sun here in Vegas. Too bad they insisted to install it, would have saved them time/money.
Had the Super Joey for 5 days now, not a single glitch.

So you are saying that the super joey is working without issues? I am really surprised if it works out the box without any problems at all.
I also got this deal. Upgraded to Hopper with Sling and Super Joey for $0 and they would even waive the $15 tech visit fee if I signed up for the protection plan. I did this all through DIRT.
I was nearly out of contract, I think. I did it through chat. I am also on autopay for 4 years now, paperless billing, etc. I think they really appreciate that.
If your account is in good standing, not under contract and it helps to have the protection plan I'm sure anyone could talk Dish into upgrading you for free.
I was offered to upgrade to a Hopper with Super Joey without any costs just yesterday. I have been a customer for 11 years without any late payments, so I don't believe it is all the difficult. I have never had the protection plan and in the last year I have had to replace my 922 six times, at not cost to me either, go figure.
