Dish Network? Changing to Hopper + Joey costs.
Greetings: I will try and keep this short and to the point.
Long time Dish customer. We currently have two receivers in our home. One VIP622 that we own, and one VIP722K that we lease.
One receiver serves two upstairs TVs, and the second receiver runs the two downstairs TVs.
The upstairs receiver has the sling adapter connected, and we "sling" TV programs to our RV when traveling IF the cell signal is adequate. We have the unlimited data plan from Verizon.
The downstairs receive is moved to the RV when we travel, and we use a portable sat dish with the Western Arc. We usually setup the sat. dish if we're staying on one spot for more than a couple of days.
We're paying an extra $17.00 a month because we have two DVR receivers on our DISH account. I was told that even if I purchased a second DVR receiver, it would still be %17.00 a month.
So, I'm wondering if a Hopper and Joey would be a better, less expensive option. We would like to keep one receiver at the house for Slinging TV.
Maybe a Hopper and Joey(s) for the house, and just move the second receiver (the downstairs one) permanently to the RV, and only activate it when we go south in the winter.
Anyhow, if you have a suggestion please advise.
