It is only $50 more to go with 2 Hopper/2Joey system instead and most here feel money well spent as your monthly fee does not increase, but your flexibility does, greatly.

Hi wonderful DIRT folks,
I'm interested in dropping my problematic 922 and upgrading to something that hopefully works better. Please pm me to discuss options.

I've got the guote on the 1h, 3 joey, but let me look at 2h, 2j. Each hopper sounds like $50. Looking at the 2 hopper/2 joey diagram, I see the sendone hopper has a WiFi adapter sitting on it. Is there a charge for this. And since I am getting the Off air Module, can off air be seen on both Joey's and Hoppers?

The technician will connect the Hopper system to the internet and we do not charge for the device he uses to make this connection. The Hopper OTA channel will be available on all the tuners on that Hopper but with a dual Hopper install, you will need a USB OTA adapter for each Hopper.
Just to let everyone know, there is NO self install option for the Hopper/Joey. Thank you!
Although there are those of use who know enough to self install, but I understand that DISH has no way of knowing this. Before I retired I worked at a broadcast station and installed many satellite systems, including Direct and Dish and also worked with dish to get the tv system onto dish. I also installed *most* of the sat systems over the years at home. When we were re-roofed last year, I did a complete re-install of my system from dish to lines in and outside and the wiring hub. But that would not qualify me for a hopper install because I am not a certified employee even though the hookup diagrams are simple. I know I would have to hold the hand during the intall so lines could be reused. Since my line to my dish is underground, I did run the lines that were on the roof to the dish for future hopper connections. I guess I am just protesting the no-self install policy.
