HOPPER SNAP

[Frank Jr.]

You don't need to find them at the Dish Store because they will be free. What you need to do is what Scott asked you to do, wait until he says they have been released.

That is sound advice from Bobby to wait until Scott reports they are available, but until then if folks want they can log into their account and look for them at the Dish Store, even though they should be free. Once they show up at the Dish Store they can be ordered from a CSR. That is what I was told today, but then again that may very well be wrong, who knows. Of course Bobby does!!

It does appear that they have a few free items on the dish store - so you never know - snap might end up there.

I'll bet it works fine on any port with an extension. FireTV Sticks conveniently ship with short ones, for those who want to try it out. I can't experiment since I have an H3.

I will give it a try with an extension cord; in all 3 USB ports.

They are not available yet. DISH don't even have them in their hands yet.

I wish they wouldn't announce hard dates on things when they know they will not be available on that date.

But yes initially (after they get them) they will be going out on new installs, and this is to better test them as they have only had limited testing in the field.

Watch this thread here for more info as they become available.

Are we almost there?

Since I'm a speed demon I'll asked the stupid but obvious question -- will the Snap do anything with an H3??

I'm guessing they'll want to have more testing time with them before they commit to producing a whole lot of them, so it may be a while more before we can get them.

I installed one yesterday, and two so far today. On the hopper slings, I absolutely noticed a difference in response time. The hopper 2000, didn't notice much difference.

Good thing I have HWS boxes!

 

[The Fat Man]

Honestly, the idea of having the H1 back to its days when it had the legacy interface would be great. A day without my wife saying how much it sucks since the change would be great.

Can’t wait - I have two hoppers with sling.

Also waiting patiently for roll over recording to return - any day now....

I got 3 of them today at the warehouse, so they must be in stock now, I'd assume, if you want to call about them

If I was a new customer I would want the H3 not the HWS, therefore I wouldn't need the Hopper Snap. But having two HWS boxes I really wish Dish would provide them to existing customers who need them.

I have played CSR roulette this evening. Like Scott said previously they are sending them out to installers only.

No....

I guess my WiFi Joey is doomed to be as slow and buggy as a dtv box

Both hopper slings I put one on were upgrades from a hopper 2000. The snap I put on a hopper 2000 today was a new connect. The one lady that got upgraded to a hws with snap was under the impression that she was getting a hopper 3. That was a fun conversation..

Or do what I did and run a cable and installed a Joey 3.

And if our last installer hadn’t sliced all the cables from our original install I could do that without a crawl space expedition. I have considered it. I’ll just put on a extra hernia belt! Lol
