Hopper 3, need a phone line solution

[jdvaughn]

Just got the Hopper 3 and we don't have any phone jack anywhere near the hopper/TV. There are tons of those wireless phone extenders online, do these actually work? Is there a particular brand to buy?

We just miss the Caller ID on the TV is all...

thanks in advance!

The phone jacks that extend over power lines work just fine.

If you miss the Caller ID function on the TV, what did you have for a receiver before and how did you feed the phone line to it? That said, Pat has lead you in the right direction.

We just moved... had the 722 before and had a phone line where I could plug it into the DVR, don't have a phone line anywhere near the TV in our new house

I've never used any of these before. Do you have recommendations for brands or types? This would be all new to me.

I showed that one - more expensive than some others, but ratings are good, as opposed to some cheaper ones. Just do a search and check ratings, mine were from some years ago.

You "showed" that one? I don't see anything there?

I'm sorry, I had my Ad Blocker on. Sorry Satellite Guys! Thought I turned it off here...

thanks for the help!

Satellite Guys has a deal with Amazon, they get a little back if you buy from the ad. That's why links to Amazon show up as ads. You help support the site if you use the ad link.

I had one of these phone jack extenders and used it on my 622. However, when I upgraded to the HWS it would no longer work. There was a slight buzz on the line that the 622 handled just fine but the HWS is apparently more sensitive to this small amount of line noise.
