EchoStar Announces Spectrum Sale and Commercial Agreement with SpaceX

Dish needs more content.

Not sure what improvements can be made to a Hopper 4, other than imbedding the "new & improved" plus. And, of course, the most important feature!

I say aside from the built in Plus unit, it will have 16 streams for recording and 16 satellite tuners for recording and a 4 tuner ota unit for all 4 ota networks and an 8 terabyte hard drive. Then the hopper becomes the only interface you need to your TV for both satellite and internet apps. Simplifying most people's lives and the need for extra remotes and hdmi cable inputs.

Right and monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Sounds painful.

If I could BUY that unit and keep using my current remotes, especially the Harmony, even without Dish service, I'd be on it. Good performance assumed.

A red light so bright that when it pops up on the Hopper it's like a police light and covers all the walls in your house with it's radiance.

Don't let navychop see that.

And another thing people are missing here is... Boost Mobile lives on. As does DISH.

And, as part of the deal Boost gets access to the SpaceX cell service for unserved areas when it rolls out. Not talking about the texting deals - actual voice service.

I still have the very last Charlie Chat recorded and saved somewhere. That was the one where the guest were Dan Rather and myself.

That was a crazy night!
