To those receiving H3s, I assume the installation setup will simply hang at step one waiting for software download since there is no public software on the satellite yet. Someone will let us know soon.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you have a company that gives you good deals, ships new product to you before anyone else and provides great service why would you want to get them in trouble?
There just isn't any sense in trying to activate a Hopper 3 if you receive one before it's officially released.
I hope he doesn't intercept or recall the packages from ups. I have no problem having it on my shelf staring at it until dish gives the green light lol.
Wouldn't worry about that, I am sure it would cost much more than it would be worth. UPS isn't going to snatch all of those out of the delivery chain for nothing.
$12.90 per package if done via website or $18.70 if requested over the phone. I'm willing to bet that is "too much" for many retailers to want to eat.
Excellent point - seems they simply can't get to the step of activating them in this case.
It is a virtue they say.

Many times with online sales you can get stuff early, or well below what a Manufacturer would like it sold at, so there is some benefit to not making a big deal out of it.
I cannot imagine standing in line, camping out a week before a new iPhone goes on sale. What is the point?
I put them in the same group of clowns who go shopping on Thanksgiving day and Black Friday morning. For some it's just fun and exciting.
I've been in that group, but only as an exercise in beating the system. Never had to wait in long lines.
Anyone knows how WiFi connectivity is handled on the Hopper 3? Is it internal or does it still require a dongle like the Hopper 2k?
