Cue the "Multiple Hoppers for redundancy" crowd in 3...2...1...

Wow 16 tuners, 7 rooms with the Hopper 3. I'll assume this means we can get one Hopper 3 and 6 Joeys? Exactly what I was waiting for.

 

[sculchy]

Are you allowed to have multiple Hoppers? Say one Hopper 3 and one HWS? I've lost a few Hoppers and like having the backup so I don't go without TV.

On cue...

That's what it sounded like...any mix of the different Joeys, though I guess we can say Goodbye to the Super Joey. Not much need for that guy anymore!

I was wondering the same thing. I have 4 HWS and would like to upgrade to H3 and replace two of the HWS with Joeys, but I want to keep one other Hopper for redundancy.

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Does the new Hopper 3 make the Super Joey obsolete? The question would almost seem to be rhetorical.

I would actually like to just replace my old Hopper and keep my Hopper with Sling. I prefer to have two.

Seems like it would...not much point in the SJ with 16 tuners in the mothership.

 

[keckge]

Mail me a new hopper3. You can have them all even the one I bought.

 

[DWS44]

I prefer to have two

Yeah...I get that. My post was just kidding after the number of times I've been debated over my preference of the integration of a SJ setup over the redundancy of two Hoppers...so I figured it would be a hot topic with the H3.

 

[cpalmer2k]

I do wonder if multiple Hopper 3's will still be allowed though... One for kids, one for parents

 

[Poke]

So the Hopper3 due out this month correct?? Hmm I'm out of contract now so would be a good time to upgrade and the Go it sounds like is due out this Spring either way Dish hit a HomeRun here..

 

[Bodo Fenrirsson]

Seems like it would...not much point in the SJ with 16 tuners in the mothership.

But then you'd have 21 tuners. Of course how many tuners is too much, & who'd have the time to watch all of what you recorded off of 21 tuners? Also, with the Super Joey, you could expand TV viewing to 2 more rooms at least.
