Thread: DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

Below the video are the Spec Sheets for the Hopper, Joey and another device I did not hear talked about at CES and that is a Hopper Internet Connector. Enjoy!

The video is an in depth demo of the Hopper and Joey system.

So you only have to have ethernet connected to one of the devices and they all get it?

Off of the coax yes

The answer I got at the show was NO, however the HIC FeatureSheet PDF file posted above seems to indicate it's possible. My guess is its a future product / feature.

Scott how would you compare the hopper to the hr 34 ? pros and cons of both ty if you can answer and all you did at ces

I can't answer that as I have never used a HR-34.

I would say as an outsider looking in the HR-34 would be more appealing to me because it has 5 tuners instead of 3, however I am a tech junkie and not your normal consumer.

But then the Primetime Anytime Feature on the DISH box is appealing to me as well, since 90% of the stuff we DVR here at my house are from the Big 4 Networks. So that is a big PLUS.

The other PLUS is that you can add another HOPPER for more tuners, something you can't do with the HR-34.

Can you believe the writers of HIC put "Ethernet: Yes" in the Technical Specifications section? I can't! (I wanted to know if it was GigE or something more pathetic.)

ty scott for all your help and info i appreciate it

"Dish Pro X Node"?? This is the first time I've seen that for Satellite Input. Does this mean there might have to be additional/different hardware between the receiver and the LNBs?
