Well problem is I have an old HDTV in the other room that has only one DVI input and component and composite. No HDMI. The one DVI input is taken up by the PS4 via HDMI-DVI cable. If it is like the old Joey, then no HD on the second TV.

The Dish chat rep I had said regular Joeys don't work with the Hopper 3 and that I need the 4K Joey.... 
That sucks. Looks like you know what to ask for for Christmas or your birthday, new TV!
I had my rep tell me the exact same thing then I said it's a Joey 2 and it will work and he said that I was correctThe Dish chat rep I had said regular Joeys don't work with the Hopper 3 and that I need the 4K Joey....
A Joey 1 WILL work, however its slow... the reason I know this is because I have a Hopper 3 and all my Joeys (except for the 4K Joey) are 1st generation Joeys.
DISH does not have to upgrade people from Joey 1's to Joey 2's... they are doing it because they want their customers to have the best experience possible.

Sorry for the ignorance but does anybody know from this picture , what type of dish I have. The leftmost one is the new one. It has "Turbo" written on the front of it, and I'm curious if anyone can tell me if this is the correct dish/LNB to have for the H3??
Quick question: Upgrading 622/211 to an H3 and two 4k joey's, price currently is $7 DVR fee, plus $7 receiver fee. Upgrading would increase my price to $15 DVR fee, plus $14 receiver fees (for two 4K joeys) correct?
I think great they are updating to joey 2. All my joey are 1.0, and always thought they had a problem when I got my wireless joey, it was so much faster. That is another reason I hope I will be able to upgrade.A Joey 1 WILL work, however its slow... the reason I know this is because I have a Hopper 3 and all my Joeys (except for the 4K Joey) are 1st generation Joeys.

Sure seems that Dish is doing everything to make sure that techs and retailers know that they have to replace all Joey 1 receivers with Joey 2 receivers. They have stated it numerous times that all Hopper 3 installs require a Joey 2, Wireless Joey or 4k Joey. I know it can work but I don't see any techs allowing it. I'm not sure why anyone would want to keep a slow Joey 1 when they can get a faster Joey 2 anyway.
Just checked on that. What is the difference between the little boxes that have a power adapter and the cables that go from HDMI to component without power?
Yes you Have a 1000.4 Eastern arc, and a Directv Slimline 5.
Unfortunately neither are compatible with the Hopper 3.
They would swap out your current dish for a 1000.2EA
And if you need the 77 they will have to install a wing dish.

Nobody can say DISH is being cheap with these upgrades. To replace all those Joey 1's is an expensive thing to do.
I decided to play CSR roulette again, got the same answer, something that needs to be worked out with the EA. Good news is that if you call them enough times, they will put you on a list to get emailed when the issue is worked out. We will see if I actually get an email, I am guessing it will be a few days.

Yet people are complaining about paying $150 to get almost all of there equipment swapped out by a tech. Hard to satisfy people now days.
I'm saving my complaints for when the raise the price on DVR services again.
And it's not like they are giving us this equipment to have, It's still leased.
They get it right back, and if they don't they charge the crap out of you and destroy your credit if you don't pay and fulfill 24 months of programming
Hardly free by any means.

When I called mine in. I knew more than the CSR. Mostly because of this site. She said that to me as well. (4k Joeys),,
But I corrected her and she checked with a supervisor. Fixed it. Than she asked if I wanted a Super Joey and of course that does not work either. I got the impression they are a bit overwhelmed. Also it's all new tech. Good luck.
