Pathway2 and Hopper

As Dutch mentions, the Pathway will not work with the Hopper. You need a full size open face antenna with the correct DPP LNB for the Hopper. The Hopper 3 requires an updated LNB from the standard DPP.

Thanks. It sure is nice to have access to someone with knowledge and information concerning this type of stuff. Thanks again.

Since the Pathway 2 gets both eastern and western arc sats will it work with the hopper?

No... The Hopper requires a DPP multi-satellite LNB and oval dish connected to a Solo Node (1 Hopper) or Duo Node (2 Hoppers). Which arc the dish is aimed at is irrelevant except for determining which DPP LNB is used. The only fully automatic dishes that are usable with a Hopper are the roof mounted Trav'ler and equivalents. The Hopper also lacks the internal programming required to operate the X2. Only the VIP 211/Wally series receivers have that.
