I called Dish and they will only give you a SNAP when they visit your house. They will not send you one. I own a Hopper 1 and would love to speed up the unit. Anyone know of a way to get one sent to you?

It looks like something to use with older Hopper models. The following was pasted from some Internet site:
Hopper Snap – Powerful Punch in a Small Package

• DISH is pleased to announce the launch of the Hopper Snap! This co-processor and memory unit connects to earlier generation Hopper® Receivers to enhance speed and increase the user interface (UI) performance on both the Hopper and connected Joeys®.
• The addition of the Hopper Snap is a great way to move your existing inventory and provide an improved user experience at the same time!

The Snap module is for the original Hopper (H1) and the Hopper with Sling (H2). It speeds up the graphics processing for a faster response when loading the guide. It is definitely worth the small amount to get one.

But it does nothing for your Hopper 3 so although inexpensive you don't need it...
