    Hopper 3 on non-4K?

    Does the Hopper 3 work with non 4K TVs? I just contacted a Dish customer service representative who told me that since I don't have a 4K TV that the Hopper 3 would not display the best picture quality on my 720P TV. Is this true?

    Does Dishnetwork off a black version of the Vip211 and Vip622? My television, tv stand and other components are all black. I'm about to go HD. I would prefer that the satellite receiver boxes be black instead of the silver versions that Dishnetwork shows on their website.
