This may be old news on the forum (there is a lot to search through here) but I wanted to update everyone on two things that seem to have changed since I first inquired about upgrading from my 722s to Hoppers.
1) I called Dish last week and wanted to get one Hopper with sling and one without. He told me that they ran all out of the non-sling units so every Hopper is now slingloaded! That's good news.
2) The last time I inquired it was impossible for Dish to outfit me with 2 Hoppers and 1 Joey. The only way they'd set me up is 1 Hopper and 2 Joeys...or 2 Hoppers and 2 Joeys. Everyone here gave me tips on returning one of the Joeys immediately for credit, or something like that. Anyway, when I called to order my setup, 2H & 1J was not a problem.
Finally, I upgraded equipment, didn't outlay any money and my monthly rate dropped! I used to have two 722s (leased) and one owned 508. I now have 2 slingloaded hoppers, a joey, and a 24 month service agreement. No complaints so far.
