Nothing to be jealous about, it's just sitting in the box now, hahaCongrats bobvick...I am jealous!
I'm ready for it. The only thing that concerns me is the high power draw. Will it be a serious hot box?
Can't see how this would be a major concern unless you have it in a small cabinet.
722 @ 55 watts in an open face cabinet needs an exhaust fan to dissipate the heat. The new h3 at 95 watts is more than 3 times what the hws draws. It's a concern which I hope is not an issue.
Will it be on the receiver anywhere? I have a Hopper 3 here I can look at and tell you, if it's listed on the receiver. I'll look in a little while and see if I see anything.Where did it say that the H3 will use up to 95 watts? I looked at the material that was posted and did not see that.
The "boxes" are not cheaper from Dish. You are confusing upgrade cost with ownership. If you lease you end up with nothing of value in your hand. With an owned receiver, one can recoup some of ther cost by selling. Also, yes, protection plan DOES cover owned receivers. If I ever get an H3, I will probably purchase because, I hope, we will be moving sometime in the next year or so, and can not be for certain we would stay with Dish. So, no contracts for now.
Worked for me, maybe it's the 50 or so open tabs.?.?

Just curious but what's the wattage on the H2K and HWS?
