I've been with Dish for about 3 years, using an original Hopper (a new model came out a month or two after we committed to two years). I have one Joey. The two televisions are 1080p. I'd like to upgrade both someday to 4k, but nothing is imminent.
I called today to see if I could upgrade my DVR equipment to the Hopper 3. He asked if I had a 4k television, and I said no, I don't, but will in the future. He then replied that the Hopper 3 would be of no benefit to me at all, and that I should wait until I get a 4k television. I replied that that sounded kinda strange -- that the Hopper 3 was incompatible with 1080p televisions. But he insisted it was the case (and got rather condescending about it).
I've browsed around some on this forum, and it sounds like he is wrong. So, let me ask, what should I do? I'm guessing what I want is a Hopper 3 and a 4K Joey, that will be both connected to 1080p televisions (for now). I'd like to get the upgrade free (and make another two year commitment). Otherwise, why shouldn't I switch to DirecTV?
Thanks,
John
