Is the Hopper the new...

What happened to the xip series receivers? Are the Hoppers the xip's? If not then what happened to them?

The XiP series is the old name for the Hopper/Joey system.

The XiP series is the old name for the Hopper/Joey system.

I was kinda figuring that but want to be sure.

 

[dfergie]

Xip is the Echostar name

I like XiP better than saying Hopper/Joey personally.

Hopper is so appropriate since It is "hopping" out next month right before Easter.

The more I talk about it the more I like it. It seems customers enjoy it more too. Those old model numbers a confusing and hard to remember for most customers.

I agree. Awkward at first, but getting more used to it.

Then, when the bug reports start coming in, we can start calling it the Flopper.

Yep. Not if, but when .

 

[Scherrman]

Oh, you're all just a bunch of Negative Nancy's.

That's what she said.

 

[3HaloODST]

Nope. Simply making assertions based on Dish Network's history .

Whenever I get my Hopper/Joey I'm gonna start calling them XiP 813/XiP 110.

Xip sounds pretty techie which is cool for most of us.I was also thinking the Hopper/Joey was little too kiddie but it's growing on me and I think it will definitely help Dish to promote it.

Nope, just a realist. Any new technology will have bugs, and not all of them will/can be found in unit testing. I just wanted to be the first to use the "Flopper" moniker.

Well Dish is technically calling it the Hopper 2000. That makes it sound a little tech like.

Sounds like HAL 9000, which based on the movie, is 10-year-old tech.
