jfaulkner Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I want to swap my VIP722K for a Hopper 3. I understand the hardward requirements. My concern is the cabling in my 2000 Traver Supreme Fiver. I know the cabling is RG6. But, I am pretty sure it is not rated at 3 GHz. So, how critical is the cabling. What happens to the signal if the RG6 is not rated at 3 GHz? Is the signal broken up, does it not appear at all, is it intermittent or is it an unknown?

Zulu Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well, if you still have factory-original cable, it's about 17 years old and could be questionable. The only way is to try it. However, that older cabling should work to network a Joey 2.0 to a Hopper 3. 3 GHz isn't required for all Hopper wiring, and for short runs (like rooftop Travler to Hopper) your RG6 may be hunky dory.

WeBeFulltimers Posted January 20, 2017 Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 I switched from a VIP722 to a Hopper3 without changing ANY cabling and everything works fine. Picture is perfect. 2012 Montana fiver with original internal cabling (RG6) as it came from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
