A neighbor recently told me about how his Dish Network system switches to streaming when his dish signal is blocked. This was news to me. A couple of days ago a storm came through and I lost signal. I waited for a while and as usual nothing happened. I turned the Hopper off and called Dish Network and asked why my system was not switching to streaming like my neighbor's. I was told that I needed to to add the Hopper Plus to have that happen. I said no thanks. A few months ago I had my Hopper replaced due to a number of failures. Dish pushed the Hopper Plus then, also. I had done some research then and decided I did not want it. Anyway, I turn the Hopper back on and to my surprise the pop up window tells me something like the system will start streaming and it did. I am so disappointed that Dish Network deceived me. How and when does the system decide to start streaming? Thanks
 
With the Hopper Plus you can also stream other things when there is no Satellite signal.

But yes signal saver works on many channels (but not all) when there is a weather outage to your system. (Remember it needs to be hooked up to the Internet to work.) :D
