No, they apparently can't enter "new" orders.
A new customer will get a better deal than existing customers anyway, so need to have DIRT help. Some existing customers may be able to get a same or similar offer, mind you, but not all will. Since it's been mentioned that qualifying existing customers can get a Hopper 3 for no cost at all, new (qualified) customers will definitely be able to get the Hopper 3 for free as well.
Sorry if this was already answered..been reading threads like crazy on the hopper 3...when they say 16 tuners does that mean with. PTAT you can really record 19 shows at a time, or are there really 13 actual tuners and with PTAT it can record 16 shows at once.
There are 16 tuners. PTAT uses one. That leaves 15 for other uses. PTAT records 4 channels at one time. Add OTA and you have the ability to record 20 channels. PTAT 4, OTA 1 15 others.
If my dish is compatible with the Hopper 3 can they just ship me the hopper 3, without having to send a tech? I rather just install myself
It requires a change from the "node" design they use. They don't send that type of hardware for self-installs, so no, they won't let you do it yourself.

That's what I recall, as well. Upon a H3 install, the current Joey's in the home will be swapped out for the latest Joey's for the reasons you had stated.
BTW, FWIW, it is finally good to see Dish take the "customer experience" above the Charlie "Cheap" factor. I guess old Ergen finally saw the light, or was it continual net loss of customers that did that? In all seriousness, this new attitude of "customer experience" could not only prevent high churn, but result in net increases of subscribers.
Because the Hopper 3 has 16 tuners and you would have no need of the extra 2 that the Super Joey has. Even the Hopper 1 and 2 aren't compatible with H3. They can not co-exist with the new LNBs required for H3.
Well, the interface will still be the Carbon UI. The H1 and H2 will have that too, "soon".
No, the regular Joeys and wireless Joeys work with the Hopper 3. There is talk of Dish swapping the very first version with a more recent model simply because it's "slow" (older hardware).

I don't think that's the "interface" he's referring to. He means the LNB and hub that are new, and required, for the Hopper 3.
