New Hopper Install

[charlesrshell]

Finally made the switch to Hopper. Dish Installer did a good job. Installed four Hoppers with Sling and one Joey. Also three RF Modulators and three OTA antenna modules. The Joey and all Hoppers can all see each other. Everything is working great. Thanks to everyone in this Forum that helped me with questions especially 3HaloODST who is still helping me figure out my way around the new system. Attached is a pic and a wiring distribution diagram of my new system. If anybody is interested in more than two Hoppers this is how I did it. Thanks again to 3HaloODST who figured out how more than two Hoppers and Joeys can all see each other.

my pleasure. We practically have the same setup now, other than a few minor differences. We're Hoppin' mad ! Really like that headend. I'm too lazy, just strapped everything to the basement ceiling, lol.

LOL, nope. I tell the Mrs it is my one and only hobby to be a Dish TV customer! It works because she benefits from it. LOL

Well Teehar, I didn't really keep up with the bills. But it was a $100 upgrade to two Hoppers and a Joey, purchased two Hoppers, one $199 and the other $359, I think the OTA modules were around $30 each, and the RF modules around $30 each. Dish provided the two Duo nodes and another DPP44 switch. My bill went down $20 a month. Old system was two 722ks and two 722s. Dishdepot.com still has the Hopper w/Sling on sale for $199.

Well, maybe after I get use to it. The 722ks were awesome.
