I think the H3 does 4 separate tuners in the "sports bar" mode. That would make sense, because it would leave 12 tuners to be spread across the max number of Joeys (6) which, if they all were 4k Joeys, can each do PIP, requiring 2 tuners feeding each. That way, every viewing location in the house (7 total) will be able to watch unique content, all at the same time. Pretty impressive!!
She's probably 35 years younger than me, but I'd marry her in a second if she were single. Hmmmmm, I wonder if she is?
Last time I talked to her she was about to get divorced. Not sure of her status now.
Scott, I'm planning on switching from directv back to dish once the H3 comes out. Since I'll need 4 joeys will I be able to request 4 4K joeys? Or will there be a limit I can get?
I think that you will need 4K TV sets on those four locations to actually order four 4K Joeys. You could, of course buy your own....
I have a question, I have a Hopper 1 now. If I get the Hopper 3, can I basically move the contents of the Hopper 1 to a external hard drive? Will a internal hd that is powered externally and connected with a IDE/SATA to USB 3.0 cable like this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...87zjFNud9i2Tl_73u-IAYaAjDQ8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds work for this purpose? And the external HDD or SSD will then connect to the Hopper 3 so I can access the content? Is there anyway to transfer the content back to the Hopper 3's internal HDD?

I can't say for sure on whether the adapter you linked will work (I think it probably would, being externally powered), but that said, you are correct on the rest of it. You'll connect the EHD to your current Hopper, transfer your recordings to the EHD. Then, when you get your H3, plug in the EHD, and you can either watch the recordings directly from the EHD, or you can transfer them to the H3 internal storage. You can do either one you prefer!
Thanks DWS44, almost thought I had to watch everything on the H1 before upgrading as it's 92% full now.
That feature is still in testing and may not be in the initial release. You don't have to copy your recordings from the EHD to the new Hopper. They can be played back from the EHD.
Not to mention that it will take a LOT longer to transfer via direct connect, due to the slow ethernet on the old Hoppers.
