Hopper Upgrades

[Lightguy]

Hi, can you PM me for an upgrade from a 722/211 to a Hopper/Joey? Thanks

I am also interested in a possible upgrade from 722 and 622 setup to Hopper setup.

 

[syndoc]

I would like someone to contact me regarding 5 tv setup. Currently have 1 722 and 1 SD box.

Thanks.

Could someone contact me about an upgrade to Hopper from a VIP 722? This is in conjunction with a move.

Thanks!

Could someone please contact me? I am interested in upgrading to a Hopper and Joey system on my current Dish account.

We need a DIRT member to PM so we can discuss upgrade to a hopper.

?I sent Ray a PM last week thru DBSTalk and hadn't heard anything yet, so I thought posting here might even be better.

It's probably time for me to move to H/J's, but after nearly 15 years as a Dish customer, I surely need to be efficient and not have a battle-royal at home in order to do this. And I do have some questions...

• I figure I need 1 H and 2 J's for 3 TV's (and 1 TV might not initially be HD, if that makes a difference)
• How big are the J's? Can they be velcroed to the back of a TV?
• Can I use my current Sling adapter and EHD (BTW, my account shows no EHD, and that's not correct)
• Will all my now 7-year old coax be replaced? (This is Arizona!)
• Will the OTA be installed as part of this?
• Does OTA integrate into the Guides as it does on the 722K?
• If one or 2 J's and/or the H are watching the same "live" (sometimes OTA) program, can they be at different time points without affecting each other?
• Can the J's access the H's internet (BTW, ethernet, not WiFi for the H) without the J having its own internet connection (And I think that's simply about enabling bridging)
• I'm pretty sure I lease the 722k, and own an old 508 (that's supposed to be replaced sometime this year, according to a Dish note several months ago) and own the 722's OTA module. Is that accurate? And I can do whatever with the owned equipment?

And I'm not even sure about what else to ask?

Thanks so much - and I might not be able to PM yet on Satelliteguys.

-1H and 2 J will be fine but you may want more tuners eventually.
-the joeys are small and can be velcroed to the TV but it may get warm.
-yes , you can use the sling and ehd
-if the coax isn't up to specs, they should replace it
-you can order ota for $30 and install it yourself when it arrives. They are plug and play USB
-ota does integrate in the guide
-yes, they will share the connection with bridging enabled
-if you do own the equipment,you can do what you want. I would contact dish to verify

Current customer possibly looking at 2 hoppers and 4 joeys. How much to upgrade when the new Hopper is available?

We cannot quote you on the new Hopper until it has become available. I will still send you a PM.

 

[dont24]

I currently have 3 x 722 and 1 612. Assuming the new Hopper will have 3 tuners, I'd be looking for a 3 Hopper, 3 Joey setup. Will that be possible?

 

[3HaloODST]

Unless things will be changing (doubt it,) you'll have to purchase the third Hopper with Sling for full price. MSRP is $549. No word yet on lease fees for the other two.

Good to know. If I have to pay full price for a 3rd Hopper ( and a monthly receiver fee ) , not worth it. I'll stick with what I have.

 

[jaythomas]

I have a 622, 222k, and a 211. how about a quote to keep the 211, add 2 hoppers and 3 joeys?

 

[uponthemountain]

Would like 1 hopper and 1 Joey. Please PM.
Plus OTA module?

 

[jpbroome]

Would like 2 hoppers and 2 joeys plus OTA. please PM! Thanks.
