I see a lot of folks asking for apps for the Hopper4. No H4 requirement for apps... however I think the best solution would be to sell a USB box that attaches to the H3 and works like a ROKU. They could even team up with apple or Amazon to have a Dish specific AppleTV box. No input changes, uses the H3 internet connection, and only those that want it, pay for it. Not subsidized by those that couldn't care less(I am in that boat).

Really good ideas.
That would seem to make sense and reduce the cost of receivers to each company - they would be supporting only one - maybe two keeping the Joey especially wireless.
To follow up on your other idea they could leave a slot and if you wanted to provide a USB stick to at least let you pause, maybe record a couple of programs and charge no fee I would think that would be possible and financially possible.
Who are you and what did you do with Claude?
So, when is the CUI coming to my ViP722k?Hopper lite is just a 722 with the Hopper UI...
Don't get too excited.
(Scott said the same thing about a Wally being a ViP211k with the Hopper UI. I am still waiting for the CUI to come to my ViP211k.)
Oh, I know I know! How about a 16-stream ATSC transmitter rather than that Moca crap with no fee for each of your TVs? Nah, never happen.
How about reduced energy consumption, especially when 'powered off'? The numbers in the link below do not include the LNBF.

So I can run my two HWS and one Joey for about 20 cents/day?
I'm not concerned about power consumption.

I hope Dish didn't devote too much effort to the power consumption these pieces of equipment use when in "SLEEP" mode !! Kinda looks like "why bother?". They "gain" from 0.1 watt to 0.5 watts, with the Super Joey having NO change in sleep mode. The 4K Joey is the best one, with a 1.2 watt reduction in sleep mode.
Add that to the list of new features for a Hopper 4...............solar charger which can be mounted on the dish or in a window.
That's why we need Mr. Fusion! Come on, this is 2017, we were supposed to have Mr. Fusion two years ago!
