Love this site for so much information.. Just came back to Dish from Comcast and got the Hopper 3. Not experiencing the problems yet that have been posted.

I am very interested in the Hopper Go. Does anyone have any information about a release date?

Thank you for your time

I'm wondering if the programs are COPIED or TRANSFERRED to the HopperGo. When I use the "prepare for mobile" feature of the Hopper and transfer programming to my cell phone sometimes it's a TRANSFER (with no way to transfer it back to Hopper as far as I can see) and sometimes it's a COPY. Them being transferred is certainly less convenient than them being copied because I may or may not end up watching them on my phone and in that case want to be able to watch them on the Hopper.

Some channels allow the show to be copied to up to 3 devices. I am not sure what channels those are though.

Will HopperGo work the same as DA transfers?

Since it hooks up to the H3 directly i'd ASSUME shows can get transfered back. I draw that conclusion because that's how an EHD works.

I've searched the internet for references to this topic - info from Dish as well as other tech sources. Nowhere (that I can find, anyway) is there any distinction made between "copies" and "transfers" Only that "one transfer per recording is allowed". (paraphrase). When I got my original HWS, it was largely for this feature and I took what I had read to mean that when I "copied" a recording, I was moving it, and that it was a "one way trip". As it turned out, I can probably count the number of times I've used this function on both hands and I've never found a recording to be "left behind" (on the Hopper). Right now, I have a copy of any given program on my Hopper - I can watch it there, or watch it remotely via DA. This is just one more option. If having more viewing options were that important to me, I'm assuming that I could use the new "GO" at home as well as on-the-road, or maybe record the program again (if available.) For those who are really concerned about how this works (or doesn't work) maybe this is a question best posed to our DIRT techs?

They probably won't know the answer either. Programming rights are changing almost daily.

But as it gets closer to release they should know if it allows playback of content on HopperGo when connected to the Hopper and generally what the limitations of what you can do with it.

xfoneguy: I've most definitely had programming COPIED to my cell phone vs. TRANSFERRED. I always know what will happen because when it is a TRANSFER a message pops up informing me it is a TRANSFER and asks if I want to proceed. When that message doesn't pop up it COPIES the program to my cell phone leaving the original copy on my Hopper.

Washington Post

SpaceX has held talks with Boost's parent company EchoStar in recent months about launching its own signature wireless service through a deal with the company, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
Musk, the SpaceX CEO, has discussed the deal personally, meeting with EchoStar chairman Charlie Ergen last month, according to the people. The potential deal may result in SpaceX acquiring Boost Mobile or SpaceX gaining access to its network, which it leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US, the people said.
Access to those lease agreements would be a coup for SpaceX. The back door would allow Musk to make a play for a U.S. wireless market that equity research firm MoffettNathanson estimates is worth $235 billion. But the proposed service may need consent from those carriers for the service to actually launch, the people said.

Can't remember where or who I saw predict this. :D

It wouldn't surprise me to see Elon soon own all of DISH / Echostar in the future.

Again, why would Musk want a TV Service, specially one that is losing over a million subscribers a year.

Phone service…maybe, but not TV.

I know he wants TV. He wants to deliver EVERYTHING to EVERYWHERE.

Again, if so, why would he want Dish/Sling of all the providers?

He could deliver anything without actually owning, for example, watching the Lions game in my Tesla Y on it's screen via the YT app, while on the way to my future in-laws on Sunday.

If Musk really wants to buy Boost, he might get a great price once Dish Wireless is out of Chapter 11.

Boost just lost 182,000 subs in the 3rd quarter-

Is Dish like Iran in one way...they both will totally collapse by end of week :)
Foxbat
Other than the price, my experience with Boost is not that different than what I experienced with my years with Cricket. I will be curious to see what happens if SpaceX takes the reins.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Rodney Dangerfield is great. One of his best one liners - "My wife likes to talk to me during sex, last night she called me from Florida!"

Jackie Gleason is another one of the greats.
