Does this apply ONLY to H3's, or any model Hopper? And is only when trying to do 4k downloads?

The equipment & DVR charges are waived during the 2-year promo; they revert to regular pricing after - THAT'S why it's a "promo". (unless you call in after & get them to put you on another such promo, which may/may not exist) I know this because this was discussed on my dealer board; any new...

Well try it & see...worst that can happen is, that it doesn't work. BUT...the REAL test is, unplug the receiver from BOTH power & the dish, THEN try plugging it back in to power & see after the boot-up phase, if it eventually does switch to the streaming feeds. I have a suspicion it's NOT...

It's very much coming for (at least some) sat subs too: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000115551 DIRECTV satellite customers in good standing with a Signature Package will get an email by November 30, 2025, with a link to add the ESPN Unlimited App to their account—at no extra cost...

BINGE TV ch 218 is going HD streaming-only this Wednesday 11/19

If you still have those remotes, they WILL work with the new receivers, though only in IR mode. I still use them myself with my Ho's to this day.
