I found some old threads, so I think a number of you have experience with this system. I have a client that bought a vacation house where satellite is the only option. There is one coax feed from and existing DirecTV dish on the roof to a great room TV location. They want to add TV's in 3 additional rooms. Is the wireless receiver and video bridge a reliable system? The house is small- only about 2800 square feet over two levels.

The ISP is a WISP provider, and the max speed they offer is 4mb down, so just doing a bunch of streaming apps isn't a viable solution for them. They are the type of family that will have 6 streaming video applications running concurrently if given the opportunity.

It doesn't appear Dish offers a similar product, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Dish does have wireless capabilities. They have the Hopper 3 with built in WiFi. And their Wireless Joeys will work with it. They are advertised and sold as Wireless Joeys.

However, if you have a regular Joey and Dish Network’s WiFi dongle. Then that will work. As a matter of fact, that is how my system is set up.

H3 attached to my Apple AirPort Extreme (latest AC) via WiFi 2.4Ghz band actually. Then the regular Joey connected to the same network via the WiFi dongle, 2.4GHz.

You could also use the Ethernet jack on the back of either as well. Just as long all devices are on the same network.
