I'm currently a Charter subscriber, but am considering switching to Dish Network.
As I understand it, the receivers are the Hoppers, and one of those is necessary. I would put that near my main TV. I also have a TV in a second room I'd like to use - what are my options for getting the satellite feed in there? It seems like the Joey is the extension box, but how do I connect it to the hopper? Do I need to run coax cable? I have Cat5 cable going to that room already, can the signal be sent over network cable? Are there any quality losses or lost functionality in doing so? I see there are also some Dish Anywhere apps. Would one of these apps on a connected device be a viable substitute for a Joey? Do they have the same functionality and quality?
I also have a cabin where I'm interested in getting satellite service. If I purchase my own dish to install up there, and buy a second Hopper, will I be able to watch up there as well? If someone in my family is at home, and someone else is at the cabin, will they both be able to watch?
Thanks for any assistance! Sorry for all the questions. I've been trying to find the answers for the last few days but they're not readily available.
