Dish Hopper Pricing Rumors Thread

No, no, that's just the MoCA bridge.

I know, but the diagram shows the two Hopper set up.

We have a Dish rep coming into our store tomorrow to discuss the new promotion and talk about the Hopper. She told us she is not able to talk about costs yet. I'm getting very antsy to have comfirmation on prices and how much retailers will get paid.

I don't see why she couldn't discuss costs at this point....

Awesome. I am looking at the Hopper+Joey and adding a Joey. Not bad on pricing hopefully won't be too hard to get in on this when it hits.

It looks to me that the Hopper and Joey have a $7/month fee with the first unit having no fee, not a hopper and a joey for $7 but the wording is a bit odd, so either of us could be right. And frankly, if they charged $7/month for each unit beyond the 1st, it would be in line with what they do now and is competitive with D*.

Agree, based on the agreement I would not assume the 1st Joey was included "free." But we all know the trouble assuming anything gets you into.

No mention at all for what a second Hopper would be up front. Can't believe it would be just the $7/month. They would have to do something to discourage folks getting a second Hopper just for the hell of it.

They may just do what D* has done, and limit them to one Hopper at the outset. Then change that policy to allow for more at a later date. That would make sense since I suspect the demand for the Hopper to be huge at first.

I'll take one hopper and 2 joeys please to replace my 622 and 722 which only serve three TVs. I thought there was a price freeze. My hbo showtime package just went up in price.

During her visit, can you ask if the two hopper setup is ready? TIA

Freeze on programming packages, not premiums.
