    The wiring Diagram does not state the steps needed for Hopper configuration. I doubt its plug and play. The wire and switches are the easy part.
  2. General DISH™ Discussion
    All anyone wants to talk about is who is better than the other. There is like no Dish technical support or help with any questions I've had posted for days. So again thanks for your excellent input on the matter.

    Well I know there are people here that have DPP44 in there hopper setups. You would need them for more then a 2 hopper setup, and you need them if you have any Vip211s on your Hopper account . But I noticed that I have alot of unanswered dish questions here. So I guess no one here has any...

    I ordered my 211z and Dpp44 switch to install with my current 2 hopper 2 joey setup. My question is after I install the DPP44, is there steps that have to be taken with the Hoppers to configure the system the right way.? Like doing a check switch? Any tips will be great.

    I've never gotten a Credit lol. I've always canceled during the end of a billing cycle.

    That's just a statement that's thrown out to clarify it's not Directv's fault. And clearly it wasn't a Router issue.

    Okay another update, I wired everything according to the Diagrams posted including removing the Tap, plus switched the Hoppers and now everything is Great. Hopefully with tonight's updates, the other Joey will speed up. So I'm going to say installing a splitter after a Tap on a duo node...

    But I can't figure out why I can't swap the 2 hoppers locations. I'm going to go ahead, and run a Single wire from the Node to the Joeys, and remove the Tap. But I still want to move the Hopper with sling to the bedroom, and hopper 2000 in the living room. Should I unplug the entire system...

    See No, Not on a Duo node. They show No splitter after a Tap. Look at 14 and down.

    Okay after doing some poking around, I've yet to see any wiring diagram that allows splitting /serving more than one Joey off of a Tap . So IMO that obviously not standard when installing the system. So I'm going to re wire the system , and try the Hopper swap again , and see if this time the...

    I'm going to run another wire from Node to splitter to joeys, and get rid of that Tap. That way both hoppers have a direct connect to the Node instead of being split with a tap.
  12. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    That did not work. I know how to link joeys, and it shouldn't matter anyway. The Joeys never moved. So how can you relink them when they are already linked. What I'm saying if I swap Hopper location the Joeys don't work period. There has to be a reason. The one Joey worked barely, and the...

    Okay another Question, how come I can't swap Hopper locations , I want to move the one with Sling into the master bedroom and share both Joeys off of that so the kids and bedroom can have Netflix access. And that will also allow all 3 tuners of the Hopper 2000 for livingroom only. Any help...

    We had a strange shower the other day, so I'll see if the showers we get this week do anything. Because when we had Dish last time, Dish was fairly good against rain fade . What is a good signal level? Mine ranges from around 45-65 depending on TP.
  15. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Got a couple questions, First is the 1000.4 bigger than the Eastern arc 1000.2? If so would that dish improve my signal strength. I just had my first rain fade episode, and it seems premature then what I remember satellite being. Also do you need internet in order for Joeys to function? On...

    Okay , yes the 2nd splitter is a Tap. Everything seems okay today. Just my one Joey seems a little slower than the others, Not sure why, but it reminds me of my C31 connected to my old HR34. Damon
  17. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Okay everything populated in the guide, Now I just have some other connection and install questions. First, only one Hopper is connected ethernet, and the Hopper with sling wireless is turned off. That is okay right, because they have a built in moca Bridge? Also many of your pictures show...

    They don't offer Starz for free, But they give you The Movie pack for free that has Starz owned channels in it, and Starz On Demand lol. Damon
  19. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Oh and another plus, I like how the Joeys look, and how they can create 4 custom favorites lists. Really good channel placement too, seem like it's better then I last remember. Best of all the MY channels actually works. Strange that Starz wasn't included with the free promo, when all the...
  20. DISH™ High Definition Discussion
    Okay just making sure nothing was wrong. Only other thing I noticed is the search functions don't work yet, I'm assuming those will be in a day or too as well? The Netflix works fine, and OnDemand is fine. But right now the Hopper without Sling seems more responsive to commands. Damon
