I just spoke with a csr that said it would run me 200.00 due to limited quantities and if I wait a few more weeks then it would cost me 50-100 bucks to do it.

Never believe a CSR person from any company. If you want to know the latest info then come here. If it concerns prices on equipment or programming you'll find it here first. The person you talked to is clueless.
Just to make this publicly visible, the new Hopper with Sling (Hopper W/S) are $200 at best for existing customers. Regular Hoppers are $50 at best. We are unable to discount the upgrade costs.
While that's generally good advice, the CSR is correct in that if you are an existing customer and want to upgrade to HwS, it currently costs $200 to do it. I do have my doubts about the price dropping anytime soon though.
I've never heard of that before. If they were talking about the Hopper With Sling, I doubt the price is dropping within weeks of launching. The lowest upgrade post regarding cost was $200, $50 is what the original goes for if you qualify and it took many months before the Hopper dropped to $50.
I received the same information the other night. I did a chat and was quoted $200. When I told the CSR that I could not justify paying another $200 to upgrade a DVR I got less than 6 months ago he transferred me to a "specialist." After I made the same statement to the Specialist, held told me that since this DVR was new he couldn't do anything for me now because it was new but I could wait a few months until the price dropped. I saved the chat (it's on my laptop at home).
The only reason I want to upgrade to new Hopper is Ipad transfer since my hopper is not able to do it. I talked to a rep and he told me that upcoming S236 software update to old hopper will include ability to transfer apps to the ipad. I want to believe it but sceptical about what he told me. Let me know if anyone else also received the same information from other reps.

Latest will be S237 (or later.) Doubt that it will include Hopper transfers.

It doesn't, for sure.
