Hopper with sling question

[hahler2]

Am considering upgrading from my original hopper to a hopper with sling. Just curious how big the speed increase is? Does it make the joeys faster also?

I think its much faster and my joeys are pretty quick as well.

Hmmm. Think I might go for it. First need a hard drive though to transfer recordings. Any recommendations?

I will be using a WD Elements 1TB. Just make sure NOT to restore the recordings to the new Hopper. Play them from the EHD to prevent lost recordings.

So don't transfer recordings back to new Hopper from EHD

Yeah . There seems to be some issues with that right now. You can still play them from EHD no problem.

No. That is for the 211k to turn it into a DVR. No activation fee for 622/722/813/913.
