Super excited for the hopper 3. I was just about to add a SJ to my account but that will no longer be needed once H3 is released! Thanks for the coverage Scott! Glad to be a part of this community!
I'm sure you could use the new remote the 'old fashioned' way. Just because it has voice capabilities doesn't mean that you have to use them.My wife always has problems with any tech that has voice options. It is funny to watch her try to get the Amazon Echo to work. I am glad Dish is keeping other non-voice remotes available or I would be getting a lot of grief at home when I upgrade.
I am in the same boat as you Don. I have had some bad experiences in the past, but the last few visits have been phenomenal! I think the way Dish is wanting to keep subs as well as grow subs they will have them trained correctly out the door. I'm sure they have been working on training before this was even announced.Wonder what sort of training the Installers will have. I've had horrible experiences with 3/4 of the installers that Dish sent in here in the past. I'm talking a combination of technical knowledge and courtesy to respect a person's home.
Don't need to hear how the installer doesn't get paid enough to do a good job. The Dish products are amazing and service is great but I am paranoid to let the these guys at my HT wiring with his wire snipers and hammer drill.
To tell you the truth, I had really rather buy the new LNBF, the H3 and the Joey's and do it myself. That being said, I figure that it will be more economical for me to upgrade through Dish, and go through the motions of dealing with the installer. Especially since there is no advantage to having owned equipment and I plan on staying with Dish anyway.I am in the same boat as you Don.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those "soon" things and we end up waiting until December of this year.
Well, I've already heard late January, and Late 1st Quarter.I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those "soon" things and we end up waiting until December of this year.
See I'm likeing soon as well. I don't trust dish.Well, I've already heard late January, and Late 1st Quarter.
So I'm placing my bet on SOON.
While this HOPPER looks fantastic, I don't think this is going to bring the subscriber numbers up either.

IMO, When something is ready for release in supposedly less than a month, They would have a date set.See I'm likeing soon as well. I don't trust dish.
The dish will work, but the LNBF assembly will need to be upgraded to the new DISH Hybrid LNBF set-up.Thanks Scott for giving us the latest news from Dish. I was about to get the HWS when Dish offered me a free upgrade about 3 weeks ago but I knew dish would likely have something new for CES. Sounds like the Hopper 3 is what I need. Please cut me a little slack since I have not been keeping up with the latest from Dish but will my old 1000.2 dish which was installed back when I got a 622, work with new Hopper 3 or will I need all new equipment to upgrade. If I am reading this thread correctly the old 1000.2 will still work. Again thanks in advance for all you guys do here.
