Two weeks ago I had my VIP722 upgraded to the new Hopper3 (16 tuner) and it is great but I use a standard 1000.2 dish on a surveyors tripod and they had to install a new Hybrid EA LNBF that the new Hopper3 must have so the technician said. I believe I read on the Escapees Forum that a Traveler must be modified in some way in order to be used with the Hopper3 but not sure about the older Hoppers/Joeys. Installation wiring is different for the H3 than for the early Hoppers.

There are a couple of members on the Escapees Forum that are very knowledgeable about the Dish Network systems. Check it out.

We are full timers and have no problem getting Dish to change our service address to get locals. If we are setting up for a 1-2 day stay I just use the batwing for locals and route them through the Dish receiver so they appear on the guide and can be recorded if we like. To get our service dress changed we find it easier to sign in to their website and chat instead of calling
