Maybe no Hopper today. I need another dish?

[monroef]

The very courteous installer just left. He said in order to have a two Hopper, two Joey setup, I will need another dish because he doesn't have a Duo Node. He says if he finds one, he will return. I have my fingers crossed.

Another dish is not going to do any good, he needs a Duo (dual) node. That is the ONLY way its going to work in that install.

I would just wait for the Duo Node.

 

[monroef]

Not too worried. We knew there would be bumps in the beginning. Just curious why they would send him out here without one. I guess they are in short suply.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

He forgot the node back at the shop... he forgot it just because he wanted to see Daisy Mae the Hot Secretary back at the office.

 

[monroef]

Well, he told me his shop doesn't have any Duos. He said Dish or another contractor would be contacting me. I just hope its today

 

[goirish]

He (customer) may not have a 1000.2

 

[monroef]

Just got a call. A new tech is on his way with the Duo.

Actually another dish would work. 2 1000.2 dishes with 2 lines each to 2 solo nodes. Or one dish and 2 44 switches and 2 solo nodes. Obviously the dual node would be infinitely better as the systems would be essentially seperate and joeys couldn't be switched from hopper to hopper...oh, and you wouldn't have 2 dishes on your house

You create other problems when you start doing mad scientist schemes with say 2 solo nodes for a 2 hopper system. The only people who should be doing that is someone who is self installing and willing to waste their own time experimenting. A good installer won't get involved with that mess.

These mad scientist schemes will be the solution when we get some apartments that allow only one dish per building. Very common in my area. There's going to be loads of switches and taps and such.
