new install

[Rainy99]

here is my situation. Current set up is a dish 1000.2 three coax running to three units, they are vip722k, vip 612 and a vip 211k. just purchased a hopper and two joeys i beleive the hopper is a 2000 which would mean the first generation. What do i need to change with my current set up to install.

Thanx

Get rid of the 722k and 612. As you cannot have a hopper with any other type receivers except for a 211

Did you get a Solo Node,a Tap and a two way splitter?You will only need two coax lines from LNB (ports 1 & 2).

To continue your last sentence: to the node. Then you add your coaxes to the other side of the node to your Hopper and Joeys.

If you want to continue providing satellite to the 3 TV locations you will need to add at least 2 Joeys to your current equipment read Claudes post.

Um, he purchased two Joeys with his Hopper.

So as you can see from my first post my current set up and my new proposed set up. Do I need to change lnb, what about switching?

just finished my self install of a hopper 2000 and two joey 2.0. Everything went smooth from cabling to activating. Only hitch was one joey was stuck at software version U263, did a hard reboot and all is good. thanx for all the help and insight.

He bought his own equipment and he probably got them cheap....

 

[Rainy99]

paid $90 for hopper and two joeys

So, was that $50 for the Hopper, and $20 each for the Joeys? Did you buy that from Dish or from someone else? Just curious.

 

[Rainy99]

yes bought it used

yes bought it used

Okay, thanks. I was just wondering how much Dish would charge if I bought an original Hopper from them.
