Hopper 3 and 211

[Steve92004]

Hi
I'm looking to replace DirecTV, apparently I'm passed my introductory period and they jacked my rates up
Anyway I have 4 tv's and was looking at going to Dish getting the Hopper, a couple wireless joeys and another receiver for the garage TV that I could put in my toy hauler when I'm out in the desert

Dish wouldn't let me get two hopper 3's so I was looking at a hopper 3 and a 211 for the portable one
They also won't just give me a 211 for the garage at the time of install and I wanted them to run the cable and hook it up which they won't do either

So what's the best way to go about this?

I'm new to this and I appreciate it, thanks!

An H3 and 3 Joeys, or an H3 and 2 Joeys and a ViP211. But the latter, today, requires a separate dish. Late this year that might get simplified to one dish with a new KNB, which is why I suggested 3 Joeys for now. Depends on if you want the ViP211 to work at home, too.

An H3 and 3 Joeys.

And then buy a separate receiver for the RV?

Yes, you would have to buy. ViP211 series only, or wait for the Wally later this year.

Your reply crossed my edit.

Two H3s on a single account should be supported later this year but that might not be best for an RV.

Yeah I would want the 211 mainly at home and just put it in my RV on occasion
That's why I was hoping for two Hopper 3's to keep it simple

Should I wait for that Wally thing or could I swap out a joey for it later?
Thanks!

If you can wait, I'd live with the Joey and later trade it in for a Wally.

Right now the 211 has to be an owned receiver not a leased receiver. Will have to wait for wally to know what those requirements will be.

I called Directv to cancel and they talked me into staying. Got it back into my promotional price range
So I guess I'm going to need some kind of setup for Directv instead
I'm hoping to find a portable dish that will work with my genie for when we head to Baja at the end of the month
