Can I use the Hopper receiver with it?

No you can not use a hopper with that equipment, I asked my service awhile back. I wish we could too.

I don't think so. A list of compatable receivers is listed on King Controls website or wherever you can purchase the KD 5500. i use the 211K receiver and it works great. (Dish Network)

I don't think so. The receiver controls the antenna and I think that the Dish 211k or 211z are the only two boxes that will work. You get both regular and HD with these units. If you go with one of these boxes go with the 211K as it has a will except coax to go to your TV's and also HDMI. The 211Z only has HDMI. The antenna will change between the different satellite feeds for each channel. Hope this helps. I love this antenna - it works great but I don't think with the Hopper. You can buy the 211K for about $100. and have it turned on and off and leave it in your RV. Dish does not charge to turn it on or off. I don't think so.

I believe you can. http://www.amazon.com/Cowboystudio-NPT-04-Wireless-Receiver-products/dp/B003547GRI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362949181&sr=8-1&keywords=cowboy+studio+receiver And it should work well with the trigger you have (as I have two different receivers and triggers working together.)

I had been using the 612 receiver in my RV for the last year, and just upgraded to the Hopper last week. So I would say you can use any receiver Dish has. When upgrading to the Hopper, they did need to put an extra cable box in the line. It seems to be a 4"x4"x3/4" box that connects two jacks on the dish to the one cable feeding the receiver. (leaving one jack to send signal back to the bedroom receiver if not using the Joeys) Something about feeding more power to the dish elements. I will say the images are better, big Seattle downpour last night, no image interference at all!

Like the other reply, yes, "but" you will need to buy some extra equipment. Especially if you have/want a MRV setup. I suggest googling your model of receiver and researching the different setup options and suggestions. I'm not going to point you to any particular website or company, I don't work for them and don't want to suggest someone or something that may not work for you. Hope this suggestion/advice helps.

Yes, there is a USB plug which plugs into your hopper receiver. Setup is quick and easy. It's definitely a bonus as the antenna will still work even if your dish is experiencing rain fade.

No it won't. I had programs on an external hard drive and when I plugged it in it said my drive was empty. When I called DISH I learned that the programs are in a different format in the VIP722K that is not compatible with the hopper. There is a way to convert them with a special program, but I didn't go through all that trouble. If you still have your VIP722K you should view all your programs before having the hopper installed.

The 222 will not work with the Hopper system. The Hopper is basically a Master HD with the other units being Slaves, so it is only compatible with items it can "speak" to. I believe you will be happier with the Hopper and a Joey (or maybe you might prefer a Super Joey) it is a really nice set up. I have had basically every receiver Dish has ever made, and I will say the Hopper is a huge improvement over the 922. My current setup is 2 Hoppers and 4 Joeys.

I don't see why not. Remember, the hopper is a little small, so large area's will require refilling the hopper. I hope this helps.

If you have the cyclone main adapter. This is just the hopper that goes onto the cyclone feed system.

According to Winegard it will operate with most Dish receivers. We have some friends that use the Mission with a Hopper but to be safe I recommend contacting Winegard customer service.

As far as I know, it will work with any Dish receiver. It has information on what this dish will work with on their website. I don't have Hopper so if you contact your nearest dealer, they will be able to help you further. Hope this helps.Lynne

Yes. You can have two Joeys for each hopper. You have to have a dual node switch
2173007
I have not tried that so I do not know. Beast way to do what you're wanting is to get a Hopper with Joeys

Yes this should work with your receiver. I have two of them and they work great.

You can't just swap your regular Dish satellite receiver with the Hopper. You need a Dish man to come to your home & replce your satelite & connections.

Any dish receiver will work with this unit. I grab my hopper and Joey from the house (you need to install a switch to use the Joey - DISH Network 185834 Solo Node For Hopper/Joey) and it works great.

Yes..I have my hopper in it. If you don't have alot of space for it by fire place..run an IR repeater
