HWS vs Hopper

[mfoster711]

I have two original Hoppers. I was debating upgrading one or both to HWS and have couple of questions:

• Is the system performance that much better on a HWS?
• Does having a HWS improve the performance of Joeys?
• Other than improved performance and the ability to transfers shows to an IPad, are there any other advantages of HWS?
• Do I have to commit to a two year agreement if I upgrade to HWS?
• Does it cost to upgrade to HWS?

With more memory and a faster CPU, it is more future-proof for whatever Dish comes up with in the future.

Except for software updates that is (-;

This and I might add, it's much more responsive in my case. I also had an issue with local channels experiencing audio & video breakup during PTAT hours on 2 original Hopper units which vanished on the HWS. I find it to be a much more stable & reliable unit not to mention, the additional features.
