Last November I switched from cable to The Dish Network and was hoping to be able to use 6 TV's with Dish but, apparently I made an incorrect choice, and chose the Hopper system. The installer was totally uncooperative, uninformative, and useless and did a really sloppy job installing in my attic. Every room in my home was wired for cable a few years ago. I also bough the Sling adapter. Now my wife is upset because the TV she watches most often can only get OTA channels, and I don't want to unhook any of the 4 TV's that are set-up with the Hopper. When I placed my order with Dish they told me to ask the installer about "mirroring" one of the Joeys to my wife's TV, but the installer ignored my request.
I have since come to understand that the Hopper will only work with the 3 Joeys. I have argued with the Dish people (both English speaking and those that use English as a second language) and have gotten nowhere finding an inexpensive solution. The foreign person ofered to sell me the second Hopper and a Joey for an additional $=/-500.00. Ouch!! I also talked to the normal support people who told me I could have 2 more Joeys for an additional $7 per month each which I felt as a fair deal but when I came back to make the deal they said no, I also needed another Hopper for $** and more Joeys, way more than I could afford. I even threatened to cancel my agreement and go back to cable, absorbng the cancellation fees, etc. but still got nowhere.
Now, is there any inexpensive way to hook up 2 more TV's to receive the Dish signal, even if the TV's only mirror the signal from the next room (at any given time our family of will only be using 3 signals)? or is going back to Cable my only reasonable choice!
