Yep, DIRT member says his hands are still tied for a two Hopper 3 install.While its available from Retailers, it still is not available official for ordering from DISH. I think that is where the confusion lies.

How long has it been since Dish has sold switches, LNBs, etc directly to customers ?
OTA Dongles........My bad I was thinking of something else when I said this.

Don't count on the barrel color to determine frequency rating. I looked up the specific model of my blues and they were only guaranteed (tested) to 1 GHz.
So just to be on the safe side, I ordered some tested to 3 GHz. I will NOT be going back to existing connections and replacing them. They work. If it ain't broke....

Not at all in the same category of items. Dish sells remotes too....
Nor is Dish sending techs out to locate and if necessary, replace "non-approved" connectors (or other parts). As you say, "if it ain't broke...".
Question about the Dish Pro Hybrid Switch, Model DPH42: All the diagrams show the power inserter between the "Receiver Satellite In port 1" of the DPH 42 and the DPH Solo or Duo Hub, can the power inserter be between the Hopper and the hub? From the DishDepot.com product installation requirements:
"The supplied power inserter must be connected to Receiver Satellite In port 1 of the DPH 42. The power inserter is required and is NOT optional. In a Hopper installation, the power inserter may be connected between the Hopper and the DPH Hub and/or a DPH Tap."
All our RG6 coax cables comes together in the attic (basements are rarities in south Mississippi) and don't really want to have a power supply transformer in the attic.

That's my maxim too. And considering the blue 1GHz connectors are drawing incoming fire, I'd hate to see what y'all would say about my TWIST on connectors!
They'll be twisted off once you upgrade to the Hopper.
Press on with pride TheKrell. If it works good, press on. I have a few T & B blues in my system and I am not worried about it.
Ha! When I bought this house, I was really offended by big fat ugly black cable runs draped all over the outside of the house. I took them all down and rerouted them through some dead space behind the stairs from basement to attic and I've been happy ever since. I'm sure it's RG6, but I seriously doubt it has been swept to whatever the Hopper standard is.
I will not go back to bug ugly black cables draped all over this house.
Blue = Digicon DS6-11-05
Black is unmarked, but the bag says Perfect Vision. Now where have I heard that name before.....
