Although good to be on the safe side and use RG-6 cable spec'ed to 3000 MHz.
It must be admitted that we don't yet know the frequencies of the new dpZ channel stacking scheme for the H3 or Walleys other than that they fall somewhere within 950-3000 MHz range.
But since DIRECTV currently fits 22 tuner channels between only 950-2150 MHz, then there's no reason Dish needs up to 3 GHz for only 16.

Yeah but we rely on the ads to keep the site running. If someone clicks the ad and buys anything at Amazon that day we get some $$ from Amazon.
I didn't know that. I'll keep that in mind.Yeah but we rely on the ads to keep the site running. If someone clicks the ad and buys anything at Amazon that day we get some $$ from Amazon.
If it works with DIRECTV it will sure as hell work with DISH.
Good. My wife is almost completely fed up with our laggy HR34 that they refuse to do anything about. I'm at the point where I either have to buy a HR54 from Solid Signal to fix that or switch to Dish.
My only caveat is we get the NY DIstant Network stations which I do watch a lot. I'd lose those permanently if we switched. Our locals are horrible with their weather scrolls and warnings... During a recent flash flood warning they stayed on the screen for three days straight.
If we did go to Dish I'd have to "move" to the neighboring DMA to survive that, and just insert our locals with the OTA tuner. I'd do that now, but the AM21n isn't stable enough.
There is no doubt that is true. I have seen hoppers ran on a bunch of different cables with absolutely no issues. The issue lies on whether or not the installer wants to chance using existing and or unapproved cable. Based on that persons current status with the company may influence their decision to go agains company policy. If the end user insists on using existing the company has little choice but to do as the customer wishes. Just be warned. If the cable fails, approved cable or not, it will need to be replaced. My personal experience is not many cables fail. Usually fittings or components but have seen cables not carry the higher frequencies and hoppers have intermittent signal issues on certain transponders.If it works with DIRECTV it will sure as hell work with DISH.

I use Amazon a lot. I'll have to make sure I click on the link here first before I buy.
I feed all my smaller TVs from a Joey with an RF modulator. The picture's not that bad and
The Hopper 1 & 2 required 3ghz tested coax but the Hopper3 only requires 2.15ghz tested coax so any RG6 will be fine.
Hey, where did you get that spec. from?
If true sounds like Dish's dpZ is using similar if not the same xpndr channel stacking frequencies as DIRECTV's SWiM.

What's your remote range? I'm wondering if the 4K Joey will be able to mirror any better.
Sometimes its a lot smarter to buy the "cheaper" product in a product line since it would cost them more to stop the line and make a cheaper product. They just keep going, price one at a premium (maybe paying UL for licensing and testing?) but with no actual difference in product quality.
There will be a new joey. Joey2.0 will work on the h3 and hws but not h2k. The joey1.0 can't work on the h3.
It's been well published the original Joey will work on the H3 and the "new Joey2.0", is one they have been using for the last year and half previously known as the JoeyCR
Wrong. I need a source becaused Dish directive states RG6 3ghz must be used for the host line. Ask any technician and they will tell you that with out 3ghz all the tuners won't pull through. I've made that mistake trusting newly ran cable by an electrician. Dish uses the entire bandwidth of the cable. You NEED 3ghz from the dish to the hub and you NEED 3ghz from the host port to the hopper. That's how we are trained and how the engineers designed it.
Highly incorrect.
The Joey 2.0 has been around for a couple years known as the Joey CR. It is just being renamed to the Joey 2.0 to make it easier to keep track of.
It works with ALL Hoppers.
Which explains why a lot of techs don't know what they are doing.
Trust me I have them all here. The 2.0 (or CR) works fine with the Hopper and Hopper with Sling.
