Well my 722k is now trying to sell me a Hopper.

Never thought my 722k would turn into a midway hawker...

Hey. You HAVE a Hopper! An H3, in fact!

Yes, so do I. (A Hopper Duo, in fact!) I still started this thread anyway, because it is a crying shame to see what Dish is doing to the legacy ViP receivers, just like TheKrell so accurately put it with the crying emoji.

Looks like buyer's remorse to me.

There are pluses and minuses. The biggest minus is the damnable CUI where doing things that were simple on my 722 suddenly get buried under several screens full of inscrutable icons, if the function still exists at all. Then there is my 55" 4K TV that can't negotiate properly when the Hopper wants to command 4K mode. (Just bought a Sharp to see if it switches properly.) On the plus side is the ability to play off home media, obviating the need for a separate streamer. And of course 16 tuners, which is impressive.
