Scott said Dish was going to roll out with higher degree of integration among Hoppers, but decided that such integration, such as ONE recordings list displayed from all Hoppers, looked like too much information and felt customers didn't want to wade through others' recordings or just seem plain cumbersome. So, Dish went with LESS integration.
However, this demonstrates that Dish already has the software to allow MORE integration. I would like to see this as an OPTION so that those who want less integration are satisfied and not overwhelmed while allow the rest of us to activate MORE integration. Leave it to the customer to decide.
Yes, a simple drop down menu that says Full integration for both hoppers vs the way they do it today would suffice for both groups that want either way.
