[Scherrman]

Looks like I'll be signing another two year contract with Dish.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Roger Lynch from SlingTV takes the stage.

Vivek is not talk about Wally... What Wally is s a DISH 211 but uses the new Carbon UI so it looks like a Hopper. (But it is not compatible with the Hopper System.)

H3 with a quad-core processor. That's crazy! Ought to be a wee bit faster than H2K and HWS.

How about 7 times faster?

I'm assuming "sports bar mode" will only work on the tv the Hopper is physically connected to

Can we assume that with 16 tuners, Hopper 3 has to use the new HyBrid LNBFs?

I would assume it does. All new installs will require the new LNB so I'm guessing an upgrade to it will require the new LNB also.

Did anyone see if they were going to put a larger hard drive in the hopper 3?

 

[n0qcu]

Hopper 3 will be available this month and will be a zero cost upgrade for qualified accounts.

Hopper go will be $99 on time purchase.

Up next SlingTV

Guess I will have to get a Hopper 3 for one of my 4k tv's, I wonder what kind of wiring is needed.

The drive will be a 2TB just like the previous Hoppers

 

[DWS44]

Did anyone see if they were going to put a larger hard drive in the hopper 3?

Sounded like it was the same size as the HWS.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes the drive is still 2 GB but with USB 3 you can add as much storage as you want.
