Dish Hopper wiring

pwayne · 04-04-2012, 06:22 AM

I currently have cable tv. I plan on changing to Dish. My house is wired RG6 home runs from all TV's to a central point. A single RG6
is run from outside to the central point for distribution. I preferr doing my own wiring. Is there any wiring diagrams and specifications available for Dish Hopper new install?

your setup is exactly what the Hopper/Joey config is designed for.

Simple to put hub at junction point and Hopper in living room joeys where ever you need them.

Unless you buy everything from a retailer Dish will insist on doing the install anyway.

Thanks Jim for your answer. I planned on having the provider install the equipment. I just wanted to have all my wiring correct and inplace. I have seen some pretty sloppy wiring done by "free installation" providers. I just found a Hopper training manual (PDF) on line that has diagrams.
