Alan, there are 22 posts on this thread, not exactly a good sample size to see what the other 14 million want... you're getting a false positive, and false hope. If you wanted to propose something to Dish, how about something like a team effort with a company like ROKU, to develop an external box that would connect to the Hopper, and allow apps to be downloaded to it, the way ROKU does. That way, if you want one, you can buy one. It would be similar to the Logitech revue and Netgear Wifi adapter teaming up with Dish. There's an idea.
