Connecting Winegard Traveler to Dish Hopper
Hello All, My apologies if this has been addressed, but I can’t find any information with a search. My old Dish receiver bit the dust, and I’m now trying to connect the new Hopper to my Winegard roof...

A couple of assumptions on my part . . .
You're using a Hopper 3. Your Tiffin control box in connected to the ANTENNA IN of your TVs.
If that's that case, you could probably still use your Tiffin control box for OTA TV and park cable, but I don't recommend using it for HD TV.
Here's what I did . . .
A couple of notes . . .
- I used a Channel Plus Video Amp. You could probably still use your Tiffin box.
- I used hard wired Joey 2s. You could also use wireless Joeys, or wireless HDMI. However, I do NOT recommend a RF modulator unless you want crummy looking TV.
- If your Winegard Traveler is newer (2018+), you can install a DPH LNBF on it. Then you can run a single wire from the Winegard instead of three. Plus, you won't need the DPH42 switch.
