16 individual tuners. 17 with OTA.

OTA confirmed? Didn't see anything in my brief reading on the subject so far...

Yes, OTA is confirmed. It uses the same OTA adapter that the H1 and H2 uses.

That's what I see when I copy from/to an external hdd. The balance must be reserved for PTAT? Support chat was clueless, probably "Bob" from some foreign land. Lol

AFAIK PTAT lives on the 1.2TB that is usable. The other .8 TB is used for the operating system, guide, apps, many other system files and all the VOD from channels 1 and 501 that are pre-downloaded to your hard drive. There's probably more there too that's 'proprietary'.

That's a boatload of system junk. Don't know how the Hopper Sling handled with 500Gb.

All Hoppers including the original have 2 TB hard drives.

Oh, and to the site.

Really, the propaganda I read that showed differences showed Sling Hopper had only 500Gb. Oh well, marketing.

The Hopper Duo has a smaller HD, but the Hopper, Hopper with sling(H2) and the Hopper3(H3) all have the 2TB hard drive.

I forgot all about the Hopper Duo which does indeed have a 500GB HD. IMHO the Duo is more like a 722 than a Hopper.

 

[ChadT41]

It should be the 722U(upgrade). Or 722H... use your imagination. Or Hopper722. Shouldn't have killed the 722 legacy.

The comparison I saw was with the Duo which does have 2 tuners and 500Gb. Didn't realize that was what I was comparing it to.

The Duo hasn't been around very long and IMHO isn't a real Hopper.

I agree, maybe a Hop.
