Dish hopper and Joey in a RV
I called my local dish installer to install a vip722 in my camper. (That's what I had in my home) He told me he could install a hopper and Joey with one incoming coaxial cable.
I use an open face HD dish for the RV. So I said yes as long as we could try it out at the house. We did and all went well. I also had to change out my 722 in the house to a hopper. I use the western satellites around home but he gave me the 2 eastern LNB's to use if I ever traveled where I might need them. We just stayed a week at Branson where there was a lot of trees so I changed out the LNB's to the the eastern ones. Made one phone call and bingo, I had all my channels including locals. Yes it took a little while to swap out the LNB,s but as a retiree I have lots of time on my hands. I dropped the camper off at a seasonal site till May and back to using the western LNB's. The Joey that they installed is wireless, so no extra wires to run. It's been 5 weeks and very very satisfied!
