Upgrade Hopper 3 Using DPH 42 Update.

[EdB-4721]

Finally got time to add an outlet and mount DPH 42switch indoors.This is a continuation of an earlier post.

I got a H3, wireless Joey, a DPH 42 switch. I have a 1000.4 dish with DPP Turbo HD Eastern Arc LNBF.

The LNBF can get 77, 61.5 and 72. I plugged all three LNB leads into the DPH 42 at inputs 1,2, and 3. I am getting 72 on the check switch on all 4 tuners and a blank second column, which I assume is 77 (See photo). I am not getting anything on 61.5 which has the HD content and local channels. I used Hipkats recommendation to hook up the Hopper (See attached again). SInce I didn't need the out puts to the Joey(s), yet, I put terminators on them.

I know 77 is redundant in the EA because it has SD content for ourHD channel package.

Any help would be appreciated.

I guess my first thought would be that you’re absolutely sure that Dish is pointed in correctly. I know while I’ve been out here in Buffalo were getting that a lot of times 72 will show up super buddy but I’m not hitting the 72 it’s whichever satellite is just to the west, possibly the 77. I have to move it just a tiny bit to the east and then it comes in.

I got it. For some reason the RG6 wasn't attached to the 61.5 port on the LNB. Thanks for the help. I blame the installer. (Me).

Dock his pay.

10 trips up the ladder and baking on the roof in 90 degree weather is penalty enough. Plus he missed the first half of the Packer game.

Oh yeah. Hot shingles have their own little bit of Hell to share.

So- could we get a wiring diagram of a 1000.4 to DPH42 to H3 & J3? Not having any success searching on my own.

https://manuals.solidsignal.com/DPH42_Installation.pdf Page 9, just exclude everything after the power inserter (labeled "Wally Network")

Here is one I made based off of that manual and added some notes for your specific setup.

What? You don't want him to plug in 77 as well?

Many thanks to all.

Many thanks to all.

Does this mean you are upgrading to 2 H3's?

Need to know if the Hopper Plus provides a red LED recording in progress light first!
