I am planning on moving in a month or two and until I get a new home I will be living in my motorhome using my Wally. Will Dish let me pause the service only for the Hopper 3 and Joey 3 for this time period without interfering with my contract?
If the Hopper 3 / Joey 3 and Wally are all on the same account (and assuming the Hopper 3 and Joey 3 are leased) then here is what you can do: There is no such thing as a "pause" on an individual receiver, but you can deactivate the Hopper 3 and Joey 3. Dish will ask you to return them, but you do not have to actually return them. (You are planning to reactivate them later.) Dish will wait about a couple of months before charging any penalty fee for not returning them. Even if Dish does charge you the non-returned equipment penalty, that fee gets reversed as soon as you reactivate the receivers. So, for your situation, there really is no penalty for not returning the receivers. If you need to do a longer "pause" than just a month or two, then lather, rinse, repeat: activate the Hopper 3 and Joey 3 just long enough to get the non-returned penalty reversed, and then turn around and deactivate them again. I would do that, rather than continue to pay those monthly receiver fees during months when I am not actually using those receivers.
