Dish Hopper 3

[danorske]

Have anyone of you guys been able to get the new Hopper 3 to work in their Motorhome ? Dish installed a newer LNB on my home antenna.
Thanks,
Ron

You cannot connect a Hopper to a dome style antenna. You can use a 211 series receiver with a hard drive as a single tuner DVR.

I have pay-as-you-go Dish and a Pathway X-2 portable dish. Anyone successfully connected a Hopper, or portable hard drive to record with the Pathway?

Yes, been using a Hopper 3 for several months. You don't need to use the new (Hybrid) LNBF. You can use the standard LNBF that comes with a Travler. However, you will have to buy a DPH42 switch.

Here's a set of instructions.

OK, I ordered one of these Tuesday, it arrived Friday. Fast. Now I've got to figure out how to install it. Didn't really include any directions. Thanks for the link to directions. I should be a little easier. Wish me luck with it.
Regards,
Ron
