There are extra $ for everything! What exactly are you comparing the Hopper to? A single non-DVR receiver?
If you're a new customer and it's a Hopper Duo then the price is the same for the first two years as it would be with a non Hopper.
The Hopper came out in 2012, and the Hopper w Sling came out in 2013... I’m confused as to how you never heard of the Hopper if you were a customer through 2015... the Hopper 3 came out in 2016.... and is the current top receiver.
Very believable to me. I don't watch commercials and don't read print ads. If i didn't frequent this forum, I'd have never heard of them either.
I drive a Chevrolet truck, couldn't name half the vehicles Chevy markets.
Yep, it's a sports model built by Chevrolet which I can no longer get in and out of.
Nobody expects anyone to know all of the Dish receivers, but the Hopper is their Corvette... or Silverado.
You're making a bad example of my analogy. DISH receivers are going down the road highly visible. I walk in someone's house, I don't even notice what type of TV box they have. If you see a Vette going down the road, it gets your attention. You want to know what it is. Chevy builds a half dozen vehicles which look and drive just like all the other cars on the road. Who cares what they call them?
I've got a buddy who has a VIP722 in his living room. He didn't even know he had a dvr, or could use the output to a second room. Like I said, it's perfectly believable that someone wouldn't know what a Hopper is. Most people aren't geeks like the folks on this website. Give the OP a little time, he'll be as obnoxious as the rest of us.
