Does anyone know exactly how to wire one 9500 and one 7500 to a 203961 hybrid duo hub?
Nowhere can I find where the 7500 goes.
ADV CLENT or CLIENT/HVN ?

The 7500 would connect to the CLIENT/HVN port. Here's a link to DISH installation notes for confirmation and diagrams: https://rvseniormoments.files.wordpress.com/2016/01/h3_dph_info.pdf

A duo hub is a little more than you need, but allows for future expansion, so there isn't an exact diagram. The closest is on the bottom of page 5 or the top of page 6.
Hopper=Bell 9500 and Joey=Bell 7500

I'm not an expert on Bell, but my understanding is that the 7500 is just a dumb streaming box and is "connected" to the 9500, I assume via Ethernet or WiFi. Someone more familiar than I will have to confirm or expand further.

The 9500 and 7500 communicate through the solo or duo hub over the coax using MoCA.

Thanks @Dr.Dave : I've added a link to your post to post 1 of this thread.

Hello, new member here.

I'm working with someone who has a large yacht. We want to put 25 Bell receivers onboard. Has anyone done any installation that size or have any idea how you would do that? Can you even have that many 9500s in an installation?

Thanks in advance for any help you experts can possibly offer.

I have two 9500's that were installed by Bell installer. To get them to see each other and share tuners/recordings he had to temporarily hook up a 7500. After that they worked and he removed the 7500 with the 9500' still communicating with each other. I replaced one of the 9500's and now they new one and one of the originals no longer share tuners and recordings. Under settings-whole home either 9500 detects the other one but can't get them to share tuners or recordings. Any thought how to fix this without buying a 7500? Thanks

There used to be diagrams here for most of the possible Bell combinations. It seems that since the 9500/7500 combos came out that has fallen away. I do know that with a 2 x 9500 and 1 x 7500 they use a Hybrid Duo Hub (203961) to connect two RG6 to the Quad or DPP LNB, or to a DPP44. Then the 9500s connect to the HOST/ADV CLIENT port. That will allow all three devices to share the four tuners (2 tuners/9500) and I have removed my 7500 a few times and both 9500s share tuners.

Unfortunately there is no two 7500 diagrams and remember the Dish Hoppers have many generations with more tuners than Bell has currently as well as Dish has 4K receivers.

As posted above, More detailed with images here.

I have attached the diagrams from the sources I found in case the links get broken that Dr.Dave posted.
