Install questions

[TexasTom]

Hi All
I am switching from directv to dish next week to save some $$$
I have 2 tv in the house and 1 tv in a outbuilding about 200 ft away from the house, today this tv has it own directv dish rather than a long rg6 run. both dishes are on same account no extra charge for 2nd dish.
I also want to add a 4th tv in another outbuilding/workshop about 100 ft away

there is only one rg6 to the 2 receivers in the house.

I have ordered a hopper, super joey and 2 joeys.

should we try wireless joeys to the 2 outbuildings ??
I am OK with just leaving rg6 on the groud and I can burry it later, will they do that ??
can a reular joey be made wireless later or is a different item ?

any recommendations will be helpful

thanks

The stated range of the WJ is 200'. But common sense would be to assume about half of that in reality.

Distance to the out buildings is probably too great to be successfully used with the Hopper system.

It might work fine when installed, but over time as the system degrades (connector corrosion, etc.) you will start to lose signal at the far reaches of the system.

I just changed order to 2 hoopers a joey nad 1 wireless joey
I am thinking a hopper in the house with a hardwired joey upstairs
then a hooper in one outbuilding connected with long rg6, and the wireless joey in the second ouytbuilding which is maybe 50 feet away
havingsome 2nd thoughts as it just cost another 150$

Are you sure you need second Hopper? You could get a Super Joey if tuners are your concern, and two dollars less a month.
