Thank you MattG for answering my PM, even if I didn't like the answer. If I upgrade to H/J, I will lose my grandfathered no-locals status.
 
Good morning. Could someone from DIRT please PM me regarding possibly upgrading to the Hopper. I have a 722K and would like to replace with a Hopper and a Joey. Thanks!

I was interested in this same kind of set up. Currently have 3 722's thinking of 2 hoppers with 4-6 joeys. Did you have any luck? Can a dirt check and see if I'm eigible??

Got my install of 2H/4J today. Install took 2-1/2 hours, techs were great and all appears to be running fine. Techs had minor problems with 1 Joey, but reset the Hoppers and all was fine.

Thanks to MattG for working through this with me. Once I understood that any upgrade to more than 6 devices needed to go through special processing at Dish (due to lease limitations), I decided to change the upgrade to the 2H/4J and buy the 1 or 2 additional Joeys through a reseller. MattG was then able to schedule a next-day install. (I'm still waiting for Dish to call about process for adding Joeys 5 & 6; that why I decided to buy a Joey for about $120 and self-install it.)
 
So everyone knows, I did contact the people who are making the outbound calls for setups over 2H/4J, and they are VERY backed up. Please keep in mind they are a small department (like us), and are handling all requests company wide. The people who have requested more than 2H/4J have had a request put in, but it will take (at least) a few days before they are able to make contact

Need Help scheduling an upgrade from 3xVIP722, 1xVIP612 and 1x510 to 2xHoppers and 6xJoeys. Talked to MattG last week who said that he'd have someone call, but have received no followup and MattG seems to have fallen off the face of the earth (I've sent him a few PMs since). This is now urgent as the hard drive on one of the VIP722's failed last Friday and I am off work this week. All Wiring is Hopper/Joey ready. DIRT Team please help. (I would also like to know how much this is going to cost)

Thanks, Jim H.

Matt did get back to me yesterday and got everything moving. Had my 2H/4J upgrade installed today with no issues. This is a great system.
 
Called DISH today asking about upgrade. 6 TVS (all HD) need to be connected. Was quoted $200 for 1 Hopper/??Joey system. Was told not possible for a 2 Hopper setup. Could a DIRT member please PM me. I am really interested in changing out to the new system
Thanks in advance!

I'd appreciate a DIRT member PMing me about my upgrade options. I'd like to upgrade to a 2H/4J system and I currently have a ViP922, a ViP722, and two ViP211s. Thanks!
 
I would like to have a DIRT member contact me regarding upgrading from a ViP722k to a 1H/2J setup. Thank you.
