HOPPER 3 UPGRADES

[Hall]

We certainly do lease the equipment unless you bought it yourself. Check your "My Equipment" page under your account at Dish's website, read your "Dish'n It Up" agreement, etc.

Hey Scott, sorry if this was answered here already. Will the H3 be able to accept the system backup from the hopper 2 remote? Bringing over timers and such?

I looked on my account page (before my initial post) and saw that it clearly states I LEASE the equipment hence the reason I posted that I LEASE the equipment and pay the extra money each month (which is clearly listed on my bill ON TOP of my package charge) for each device that they provided.

I'd have to say that's a dead certainty.

You would need to be out of contract to leverage free upgrade

I guess that would settle it for me. $150 upgrade cost and I wouldn't go to the H3. I'd have them replace my bad HWS and deactivate the owned Joey. And a bit later, drop the protection plan.

The only difference between leasing and owning your equipment is that you have to return your equipment back to Dish when you cancel. Everyone pays the same "extra money each month" whether they lease or own.

To support the message quoted above, people even have to pay the $7 Joey fee for the virtual Joey on your owned PS3. They are service fees, not leasing fees. The lease is free.

OK thanks for the clarification.

I am going to upgrade, just to get the new UI. I don't want to have to wait for it to come to older hardware.

Sorry for the dumb question, but based on my searches I havn't found a definitive answer, but do we know which remote is coming with the H3?

 

[Bobby]

It looks like the 52.... That is not the 'voice' one which is a 50.

Yeah, that is what I have read so far too, that the voice/touch remote is coming at a later date. I hope it will be a free upgrade but I think it will most likely incur a small cost. Thanks!

is it time yet ?

Yes

I really doubt it will be a free upgrade. I bet if you do some sweet talking to a CSR you may be able to get it for free though.

Where's Scott? LOL

Where's Scott? LOL

I think he's keeping all the H3's for himself, or hes asleep lol.

 

[dentke]

Maybe he's delayed due to all of the snow.

Just a heads up, I am late posting the waiting list, as I was called out on a house call to my bosses house. I am almost complete fixing his issue and once I do that I will be heading back to my office and posting it. It should (hopefully) be up in around 45 minutes.

Thanks for your understanding.
