    Hopper 3 EHD Capacity Limit

    FYI....Scott G. provided me with an update (thanks, Scott) confirming that the new Hopper 3 indeed still has 2TB EHD limit (some larger drives MAY work, so YMMV) and it is not due to DISH but actually Broadcom chipset and drivers used in Hoppers. Hopefully Broadcom comes with updates which would...

    Hopper 3 EHD Capacity Limit

    Sorry if this was already answered somewhere, did quick search of the forum but could not find direct answer.

    You CAN change things while on dishHD Absolute

    Unfortunately that cannot be changed at least for now...existing subs must wait until February 2009 to be able to switch to TurboHD standalone packages...so you are correct no RSNs for us... At least we are now sure that you still can adjust some things and still keep Absolute as that was...

    A few questions about the new turbo packages

    You can see what each new/renamed combo package gets you here: DISH Network -- Dish HD Check it out and compare. AT250+Gold may give you few more channels as HD Essentials originally had the least amount of HD channels (Essentials>>Ultimate>>Absolute)

    A few questions about the new turbo packages

    As far as the first option (move to At250+Gold) you can do it easily at any point. As far the standalone TurboHD packages they are only avail. for NEW customers only and as you are existing customer you cannot get any of them...at least not until February 01, 2009...

    Any brave ones?

    No as you already have AT package and just moving to next in line...you will be OK. Only us with dishHD Absolute package (HD only channels package for $29.99 E* removed as of yesterday) fear to lose it if we change our programming....you on other hand should be OK.
