I was the first customer in Lincoln, NE to get my hopper and joeys. It's running great. Love it!

My confirmation email said 1 hopper and 1 Joey even though I said 3 tvs. She even told me the 1st Joey and hopper are free and the 2nd hopper is 7/mo. This is not right. I'm a tech and I've been through all the training. I'll have to wait to see what the work order says.

The 1k2EA LNBF goes on a regular 1k2 dish. The settings will just be different than WA.

Does anybody have any idea what time we can start placing orders on Thursday?

Only 3 joeys per hopper, but 2 hoppers can only run 4 joeys. Joeys will technically be tied to specific hoppers via the node. Once integrated you will be able to see them all together, but they are still hooked to a specific hopper.

The joeys see everything through the hopper. You can either connect the hopper to broadband directly or a Joey using a hic.

The joes will be seen on the hopper they are hooked to via the node.

It will only see the hopper that it's hooked to via the node!

That is correct. When the hoppers can communicate they will see all tuners.

They should automatically update in standby but will update everyday at 3am unless you change the update time.

This is the best post I've seen yet. As a technician, it is important for the customer to understand what they need and what they're getting. There is nothing more frustrating than a customer that doesn't know what they want or what they are getting.

It will b 9 recordings at once for 2 hoppers with 1 hopper doing ptat. 6 without ptat 4 recordings for ptat and 5 for the other 5 tuners.

It would be nice for 722s to cross communicate. I see this need a lot when I'm installing. I do assure you, 2 hoppers do cross communicate. Or you can isolate them so the hoppers can't see what the other is watching.

One hopper can run 3 joeys. This gives you 4 hd tvs and 3 tuners. Or you could do 2 hoppers and 2 joeys if you want more recording at once, but 9 recordings at once is a bit much. I doubt 2 hoppers would be cost effective.

I'm a tech in Lincoln, NE and I'm calling for my upgrade the day it comes out. I also have a friend who has directv and hes switching the same day for a hopper and Joey setup.

The hopper is a great receiver. However, it does not have ota. This isn't a big deal to me but it is for some. You will be able to have 2 hoppers that will either be able to communicate giving you 4tb of space and record up to 9 shows at once. Or you can isolate the hoppers to keep them from...

If you're hooked up to phone or broadband dish will receive your stb signal periodically. If the signal goes below 15, the call you to set up an appointment. The signals you posted look very much normal. I'm a dish tech and that actually seems pretty good signal wise.

The 1k2 EA dish only has 2 eyes on the lnb. The 1k4 EA and WA as well as the 1k2 WA LNBS all have 3 eyes. The 1k2 EA is relatively new but it only sees the 61.5 and 72.7 sats. If it is a 1k2 with 3 eyes, it sounds like the tech rigged a 1k2 WA to pick up EA. The larger the dish, generally the...
