Dish 1000.4 to Hopper 3 Installation

I have a Dish 1000.4 and standard LNB for both WA and EA. I have been told that I do not have to switch out my dish and lnb if I use a DPH 42 switch. I understand that I need three cables from the LNB to the switch but where I am a little confused is with the connection to the Hopper 3. I have seen the instructions that show the cable running from the switch to the power inverter to the receiver, but when I asked at another site I was told that I only needed the switch with this setup, not the power inverter. I am only using one hopper 3 and all of the installations appear to show multiple receivers. Has anyone been through this or seen any info on the subject.

Thanks.
