I got the same deal from DIRT. However the install took forever. I have western arc with a 61.5 wing dish. The install wizard took almost 7 hours to get by step 2 of the install. Everything is fine now just have patience if you have anything but a normal east or west arc.Zachs at Dish Network made it very easy to upgrade to a Hopper w Sling to replace original Hopper!!! No additional cost, just a new 2 year commitment and new Hopper w Sling is being shipped to me. Assume it will be easy to upgrade. Will let you know.

If your dish setup contains both 119 and 61.5, then you should disconnect one of them before installing the Hopper/HWS. Once the download is complete, you can connect it back up, and then run a check switch test once the install wizard has finished.
You can also post in this thread, it's normally monitored by DIRT members.....Sorry, hate being a noob, as you can see that was my first post. Can you please point me in the right direction on contacting DIRT?
Starting July 11th Plan A customers will be able to upgrade to the Hopper with Sling for FREE! There will still be a technician visit fee but the Upgrade fee did drop $100. The regular Hopper is still free for Plan A customers but the the fee dropped to $50 for Plan B customers. This is great news for those of you wanted to upgrade to the new Hopper system.
I'm sure many will ask how you find out what plan you are or how you become a Plan A customer. There really is no way for any of us to find out, Dish uses a certain type of formula. One of the most important things is to have your account in good standing. Make sure you have not missed any payments and that you have not upgraded recently.
Thanks for info and update!!![]()
