Yeah I started a thread over in the Hopper section, my bad. So apart from the specs and wifi, its just like the OG Hopper and Sling Adapter? What I mean is, they aren't going to somehow stop supporting the Sling Adapter with the apps and all?
I don't think they will be giving away hoppers with sling to n/c, many people would never use the technology, and I'm sure the fee is going be higher for the hopper w/ sling.

If someone is watching a TV connected to a Hopper, can someone else connect through Sling simultaneously and watch a different channel or recorded program?
That's the whole purpose of the new receiver. To draw in new customers. Or to entice those with ancient receivers (pre-ViP) that held back on Hopper 1.0. That way they're back under contract plus getting rid of obsolete receivers. Other than those two reasons, Dish really has no other real (profitable) reasons for releasing an updated Hopper not even a year later.
Yep. By the way, wow, congratulations on your first post in 5 years since creating your account. I probably would've forgotten my password by now. Then again there is password recovery...
I've been a serious lurker after watching Scott get this site started. I'm a Dish subscriber and it's been immensely helpful in getting the right programming packages, installation tips, etc. Thanks!
Great.. so those of us who just upgraded in the last 60 days will get the shaft as usual...
They had better do something for those of us that use Sling Adapters

they had better!? What are you going to do, cancel? I would say you have had 2 months to enjoy all that the hopper has to offer. I ungraded right after the Hopper came out. I don't regret it a bit, because it has been a great piece of technology to have in my home.
You should see if you can score a bunch of those remote control holders (and other swag), and use as SG giveaways.
How about a update to technology that allows you to view your DVR programs offline (not connected to the internet) on your phone or tablet, like Direct TV's Nomad.
I will be moving in a year and a half and unless Dish makes some changes (NY Sports & Offline viewing), they will not be coming with me.
