S542 Hopper with Sling

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.

    Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.

    Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

Why ? As I recall, it's so you can get (2) Hopper 3s, but according to Matt (DIRT), two Hoppers aren't allowed (now).
Well, I guess will have to wait and see when the new switch comes out. I would think two Hopper 3s would be allowed then.
 
I thought, officially, the new switch is to enable customers with international programming, in addition to regular programming, get a Hopper 3. It allows (4) satellites to be received, which can't be done today with the hybrid LNB.

The last I heard was the DPH42 switch will allow my DISH 1000+ to view all four satellites and also two Hopper 3s. No need for a wing dish for international program.

This is true, But I don't think you'll be able to incorporate your H2s like we all originally thought last February.

I have 2 Dishes now so I can have my 211s on hand.

I don't know about the Hopper 2s. I am not going to use them in my system. I just want two Hopper 3s, two Wireless Joeys, and two 4K Joeys.

Yeah, that "Updates" button has been there all along
On the hws with carbon hitting update sends you to a screen saying checking for software updates, I already had carbon so I figured I'd press it and it is downloading an update, I presume the new cui update from last night. So his update may do that as well on the older software

Someone just posted that the latest s/w for the Hopper 3 has a 'check for software update' option as well.
