I can remember all the doubters when news was coming out on 16 tuners, many did not believe and doubted a concept could come to be. Happy birthday Hopper 3 and thanks again to SatelliteGuys for the breaking information back then 
Yes, I remember that. It was even speculated that the only way you could have 16 tuners was to have a 4 PTAT type scenario.I can remember all the doubters when news was coming out on 16 tuners, many did not believe and doubted a concept could come to be.

I remember giving all kinds of hints... and many people didn't believe me... when will they learn?
You are the big spender Charles.I got four Hopper 2s (HWS), two leased and two purchased and one Joey1 in February 2013.
I can’t imagine the fees you’re paying a month though.
You are the big spender Charles.
Still probably less than one night out of dinner and a movie for the family.
MikeD-C05, don't want to talk about it! LOL. My bill is not near as bad as when I had four 722ks.You are the big spender Charles.

OK!...I wanna play...Drop us a few Hints about what's next from Dish!
Why not just allow multiple H3s on an account and do away with 4K joeys!!
My Hopper 4 Wish Dream List- Cheaper Hybrid Solution , bring your own solution combo
1. Bring your own Locals- OTA tuner with Record 4 AND with all local OTA guide data for all markets AND with Auto Hop, CUSTOMER then SAVEs $12
2. BRING YORU OWN STREAMS- All Free Good Streaming Web Chanels integrated right into the guide, you go to the channel it calls an app which then displays the live stream. Things like Weather Nation and Cheddar do not need to be on the SAT, these will all be free.
3. BRING YOUR OWN SUBSCRIPTION- Apps for Hulu, Netflix, Prime, Youtube and all avl in search.
4. BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE- a really good hopper client app for FireTV and Roku, avoid those $7 a month cost, will have same features. No contracts
5. On top of all that you get to pay for the normal Dish service and get a really good cable or sat system with DVR

I’m lazy, and hate finding remotes to all the other devices like the fire stick, teaming up with amazon and combining fire tv with a h3 would be a huge help.
I'm lazy too that's why I use a Harmony remote to control 7 devices all with one button.
I think being able to record 4 ota channels at the same time would be great,since ota stations are pushing their carriage up every year now. Also since DISH now allows full guide information for the big 4 networks regardless if you use their sat locals , it would make the 4 tuners a must. Then you could have your satellite cable channels and your full ota channels too, unlike what you have now where you can only pick 2 ota channels to record. If this was already a thing, I wouldn't of needed to add the TABLO ota dvr to my house hold in order to get all the networks and so I could save the extra $12.00 a month for sat locals. The Flex pack gives me what I need for cable channels and it is much cheaper than the top programming packs. Add the 4 ota tuners and it would make the hopper comparable to the TABLO dvr, minus of course the full guide information I get for ALL my ota channels and sub channels. I've suggested before that anyone with internet connected to their hopper should get full guide information for ALL their ota channels. Whether that be through Titan Tv app or what ever solution that DISH comes up with .
Being able to add apps you like through the hopper like you do through your I-pad or cell phone would also go along way to creating a whole house entertainment center through the hopper ,instead of having to use multiple interfaces to get all the different streaming services now.

Hard to believe the Hopper 3 is already three years old. Who got the first one? Wonder what's next from DISH, Hopper 4!
I ordered mine on 1/31/2016. The tech said this was the first one he had installed.
Hopper4 will be with indor antenna and will provide internet access from low orbit satellites ;-)Similar threads
