Going from a 722K to a Hopper

[aquaman67]

Hello

I’m finally ready to make the move from a 722K to a Hopper.

I have some questions.
What’s the newest Hopper so I can make sure the installer isn’t giving me some old equipment? How to I tell what I’m getting?

Also, is there a thread or website on how to use this thing?

I’m not sure exactly what I’m getting into. This was a spur of the moment thing. I was asked if I wanted to upgrade during a chat to turn off a 311 I no longer need.

Thanks.

Go with a Hopper 3, no less. You can tell that it is a Hopper 3 by looking at the logo at the top left corner of the receiver.

I second this....get a Hopper 3; if they offer any of the older Hoppers, cancel the order.
I went from a 722 to a Hopper 3 and you'll have no problem figuring it out.

Dish has a channel which has use and tips etc. I don't remember the channel number, but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the channel it's on when first activated. It's a great box. Enjoy!

Thanks.
It looks like I’m scheduled for a hopper with sling.
And they say the 3 is $150 more

does that sound right?

It's worth the$150.
You won't regret it.

If you can swing it, go for the 3. It's worth it.

How long have you been with DISH? Since you have a 311 and 722K I am guessing around 10 plus years. Try calling the DISH Loyalty folks and see if you can get a better deal. (888) 496-1260.

Definitely! Dish pushes old receivers to keep them in the field. It's disingenuous as heck. Talk to Loyalty

I'm glad you finally changed your avatar to better represent the mental image I've always had of you.

The big red stripe is the giveaway it’s a Hopper 3.

HEHE, funny thing is, it is the mental image I have of a different member here.
This is the one that represents me better

I agree with everything you said above but this:

I went from a 722 to a Hopper 3 and you'll have no problem figuring it out.

I too went from a 722 to an H3 and I still have trouble figuring out the damn thing. <Mumble mumble> carbon interface!

Maybe you’re too analytic. Relax and it will come to you.

Thanks again for the tip.
It worked like you said.
I called and they waived the fee.
I've been a Customer since 1998.

WOW, that is great. You are welcome. Hope you love your Hopper 3.

Just like my wife and daughter relaxed so much they quit using the H3 and J3's altogether? In fairness, my daughter didn't use her 612 that much. But my wife used our MBR 612 and 722 a great deal and now she's all streaming.

Are you using the 40 remotes? If not get some and use them. They allow you to use some buttons that you are familiar with to make you more comfortable. I use a Harmony that acts a lot like a 40 remote. I only pick up the 54 if I want to use voice.
