So I am a few weeks into the Hopper 3 now. Switched from my VIP 922 and so far I am not impressed with the Hopper. The remote sucks. The layout is poor.
I have found I can not switch to live tv if I am watching a recorded show from the same channel I want to go live on. The only way is to go to another channel and then back.
I have already commented on the poor layout of the channel guide.
The latest item to add to the list is that the playback on a recorded movie is terrible. It looks like I am watching an old VHS. I tried an experiment just to see. I re-recorded a movie on the Hopper 3 that I had on the external drive that was recorded by the 922. The difference in playback is alarming. The one recorded by the Hopper is terrible.
At this point I wish I had not upgraded.
