When you connect a Wally to an open-faced dish (like a Travler) it has 2 DISH programming tuners. However, when you connect a Wally something else, like a Winegard Pathway or dome, it only has 1 DISH programming tuner.
When you connect an OTA dongle to a Wally, it gets an additional 2 OTA tuners. So that's where "4 tuners" comes from.
That OTA dongle also makes a Hopper 3 an 18-tuner receiver, get it?

Ahh...that makes sense. Since I don't have DVR hooked up on the Wally, I guess I just blindly followed what I read.

My Wally has four tuners.
I only know what I read, since I do not DVR and only have it on one TV.

With the Hopper3 I would need to rewire the trailer in order to get all 3 coaxes from the Travler to the Hopper3. I currently have a Wally in the bedroom and the 722 in the living room. I use the DVR in the living room but do not "store" that much on it and do not DVR at all in the bedroom.
Plus the duo is free, no one has offered me a free Hopper3 or another Wally for that matter.
BTW: the Wally is a single tuner so 2 Wallys would give you the same number of tuners as 1 Duo.

I am currently using a VIP722 receiver and my brother in law has a Hopper Duo that he is willing to give me. The only advantage I see is the newer interface but if it's free, why not? My question is, can I simply pull out the 722 and put the duo in its place without any issues or mods like I would have to do with a Hopper 3??
Thanks

I about to buy a Winegard ToGo. It uses an AT&T unlimited plan (no throttling, but it is network managed) that is only $360 a year.

As a welder, I suggest you to be careful with that.
Glen, do realize this is a 2 1/2 year old thread that you are talking in? Cotreker has bought, built and is driving the truck in question. As a matter of fact it is parked at the HDT rally with me and about 35 others right now.

Per chanced, what State is that which has no waiting period/ background check for handguns at a licensed dealer?
Your own state of Florida is just as quick as Texas. I saw nothing in the OP's post that would give any indication that the laws was not followed or that a background check was not completed. Why don't you quit trying to stir the pot?

Gotta love a full service campers store.
I've heard good things about the 365XL. Let me know what you think about it after you get a chance to shoot it.

You wasted Dr. Pepper on a grass fire?? Next time, drink the Dr. Pepper and pee on the fire.

I am actually getting worse signal at the campground in Kansas than I was getting with it. I'll plug it back in when I move again.

I have been happy with my Coachnet for 10 years and will keep them. The last time I needed them they towed both the HDT and rig still hooked together for 12 miles. I have found over the years switching something that I know works to something I don't know just to save a few bucks is just stress I don't need in my retired life.

X2...Coachnet has done well by me.

Yes, in fact that’s how the real world works. You do your part so that the company does better. “A rising tide lifts all boats” is the expression.
If you feel better with your personal insults at other people, well that’s just you. Whatever.
I didn't say don't do a good job. I asked if "you went out of your way" to do more, in response to your statement that the police are out there "trapping" people simply to generate revenue...that brings them no benefit. You can twist things however you want, it doesn't change the reality of what you said. And trust me, you have not seen a personal insult here. So quit trying to play "victim" and grow up some.
Time to press the ignore button...See ya. -

Guess that nerve is pretty raw. And of course small towns don’t set up speed traps either I guess. Sorry you got so triggered.
Most citation revenue goes back to the city, county or states general fund. That money goes to pay clerks, mechanics, medical personel, librarians, pave roads, maintain parks and offices, mow grass and many other things. That officer has no motivation to "trap" anything. When you were a burger flipper (or whatever job you had) did you go out of your way to flip more burgers so your boss could make more money? To invest in another store, knowing you would never see a dime of the money you generated? Do you honestly believe that trooper said "yee haw, I wrote 3 tickets so the state can fix a pothole"? Well, I guess you do, judging from your narrow minded view of the job of a police officer.
There's no raw nerve...my signature line explains it all.

The law states the officer can also make you drive to set of private scales (truck stop) to get weighed as well. So he don't necessarily have to drag out that 200 pounds of scales to do so. Which is unique in itself
Texas law says the same thing. The issue with that is the officer has to be able (if asked) to testify about the certification and calibration of the scales. That is almost impossible using a public scale. The next issue is who is paying that public scale, the law doesnt specify.
I could testify about my scales, so why bother dragging a vehicle to a public scale. That's why I had portables.

It is so painful that we take that into consideration before moving our rig. They are the absolute worst!
Wow, I'm with chirakawa. In my 10 years of living in my RV I have never had an issue except that on occasion they change both the billing address AND the service address, which really isn't an issue since I am on paperless billing. Now that they have the app (which works for me..sorry chirakawa) it is super simple. I have changed my locals 4 times in the last 3 weks...all in less than 5 minutes each.
If changing locals in your RV is so "painful" maybe you should consider a better OTA antenna so you do not have to experience such misery.

As many come through this campground every evening guarantee half are over weight. They could make a fortune sitting at the on ramp to the interstate.
Well, if you can figure it out, then why can't the people towing them....and if it takes getting a ticket for them to figure it out, well too bad. And again, the cop couldn't care less about the "fortune" he could make. He doesn't get a commission on weight tickets or any others for that matter. He has a job to do. If your buddy was so overloaded that you bothered to mention it to him he needed a ticket before he killed someone. Being able to pull a heavy trailer is only half the equation.....stopping it would be the half many forget.

This may start a very slippery slope in many revenue-hungry states and municipalities . I can see many of them suddenly buying portable scales for the explicit purpose of increasing revenue. @Ray,IN you yourself said only about 1/3 of all the trucks at a DRV rally we’re capable of pulling these big RVs. It wouldn’t take much to have Sheriff Buford T. Justice tell his boys to pull over any truck that isn’t a dually with that big letter “D” on the front cap of that RV and perform a “safety inspection”.
Wow...and just for your info "Buford" needs a bit more probable cause than a big letter "D". Although a little training on the weights of DRV's and the capacities of tow vehicles would qualify.
As far as revenue, obviously you have no idea what you are talking about...and you have never drug out a set of portable scales. First, the trooper gets paid the same every week, whether he writes tickets or warnings. He couldn't care less what money does or doesn't result from the citation. That would be up to the judge and the judge can't make him write tickets. Second, that is 200 lbs of scales to throw on the ground. The trooper was pretty certain of what he had before he bothered to weigh the thing. In 34 yrs I never threw scales down when I wasn't already certain the vehicle was overweight.
Third I would love to tell you where to shove your smart assed comments but that might get me in trouble with a moderator, so I won't.

Call it what you want, if it slows me down it is throttling. nuances.
And that is the problem with the internet. Too many people who, for whatever reason, refuse to educate themselves and then repeat incorrect and inaccurate information.

I ordered one yesterday. It should be delivered in Hutch so maybe I can find a rocket surgeon to help me wire it up. After all, I'm no good with brain science.

DM, I did as suggested and put a relay inline. I used the power from the 12v charge line and the backup light power as a trigger. It took the extra load from the LCM and solved the issue.

Looks like the throttling threat is a CYA.
It appears you are confusing throttling with network prioritazation.
