Is Dish cutting back some of its operations staff?

My Hopper 3 has not gotten an update since 12/11/24 and I used to see a new Hooper3 update at least once a month. Maybe dish is cutting software, firmware, and access card security staff? The only problem I that I have seen with not getting new updates is that my Hopper3 starts to act up (get black screen and delay when changing channels or playing a recorded show, menu navigation slowdowns and hangs for a bit at times) until it gets a new update or I do a manual Hopper reset.

It seem that Dish is no longer doing the free 5-day movie channel previews and is only offering free 1 and 2 month movie trials now that you have to sign up for in perk offers. Best part most of them no longer auto renew at the end of the trial. ( you need to read the offer to make sure it does not auto renew. It will show up in your bill for 2 months at $00 ) So far it just been for Showtime and AMC+ for movie channels.

What what it's worth, I don't recall any pattern where updates caused my Hopper 3 to stop acting up. (But I don't have those symptoms to begin with.)

It's interesting that the 722 was mentioned, because I did used have a lot of black screens with mine. Often right when I turned it on, and I would go through some dance of changing channels, swapping tuners, ... and then the video would eventually come back.
