CES 2016 = HOPPER 3

[scottk52]

They say we can get one this month! WHEN?

16 tuners! 4k! HOPPER GO! CABON UI!

 

[scottk52]

The Hopper 3 features 16 tuners that the company says allows costumers to watch and record 16 shows at once. This means you can also watch shows in multiple rooms without disruption.

The new DVR device offers 4K content recording and a “Sports Bar Mode” which pays four simultaneous live channels on one 4K screen. Netflix will be included into Hopper’s content search, and YouTube will integrated in “coming months.”
If you’re planning to travel, the HopperGO can download recorded content from the Hopper 3 via USB to take up to 100 hours of content on the go. The device then creates a personal Wi-Fi cloud for users to stream content regardless of internet connection.

When the HopperGO is connected to the Hooper 3, it also simultaneously charges the pocket-sized device for up to four hours of viewing. It supports up to five simultaneous users per device.

The HopperGO will be available in late Q1 of this year for $99. Current Hopper customers may be eligible for an upgrade to the Hopper 3, and the service starts at $15 a month.

MOCA 2 w/up to 6 Joeys, right?

I assume those will be 4K Joeys, right?

Sports bar mode, looks to be a awesome feature

The Hopper 3 features 16 tuners...

Is that 16 physical tuners, or rather a new/improved version of Dish PTAT using 4 physical tuners?

 

[satjay]

I think it was mentioned that one tuner would be PTAT

Alright, so this month. How do I proceed?

 

[scottk52]

Dish reps told me later this year, not later this month.....

Vivek said January 2016 in the press conference and it was on the slideshow behind him. I'm sure they could be off a little, but later this YEAR seems a bit extreme.

The person you spoke with likely spoke out their backside.

Yes it does.

I guess the question is...can I get two hopper 3's?

16 individual tuners. 17 with OTA.

Nope.

 

[n0qcu]

Nope.

Why not?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thats the way the LNB is designed.

 

[mackie99]

I was joking. Who would need 32 tuners in one household? LOL!!

You would be surprised.

I know people who have over 30 FULL external hard drives... when the hell will they ever have time to watch everything they recorded?

Whats wrong with adding another dish (a person can never have too many)

I was joking. Who would need 32 tuners in one household? LOL!!

Don't need 32 tuners but that sounds like the only way to get the ability to watch four simultaneous HD channels on more than one UHD TV

 

[drwatson618]

Nope.

I have 2 HWS, 3 joeys, and a wireless joey. Would I be able to replace one HWS with a Hopper 3 or would more changes be needed?
