Sling adapter on 2nd Hopper/Sharing broadband connection

[gadgtfreek]

I moved my old Hopper to the bedroom when I got the HWS. I have Dish Anywhere up and running nicely for the HWS on my phone and laptop, and would like to pickup a sling adapter for the old Hopper so I can access that one too.

• I have the HWS setup to share its broadband with the old Hopper, is that an issue?
• Best place to get a sling adapter?

Lol, thanks. I actually found I had a Sling Adapter laying around in my closet of misfit devices. I think it was from when I had a 722k. Anywho, that fix that, and I went ahead and got a wifi dongle from dish for the Hopper in the bedroom. I currently have a gaming adapter setup and all this mess for the HWS, Im just gonna connect both Hoppers over wifi and simplify the operation.

Good. I know how risky it is to go into such closets. Last time I did, I was attacked by Centronics cables and BNC connectors.

Let us know how it works out in the end.

Holy crap! I thought I was the only one with those still lying around!
