There is never a fee to change your programming
Wineguard is probably the more popular choice for a Dome
HDD's on any Hopper are up to 8TB
I'm not sure I understand the last question

You can, another Hopper 3 but you'll have to purchase it.

true that but what about pairing them together so they see each other. though after reading on reddit more than one hopper sometimes they don't play well together!!!

You need a DPP LNBF, and a DPH 42 or 34 switch on every dual-Hopper 3 install.
The "book" calls for a solo hub off of each output, which isolates the DVRs from each other, but if the tech uses a duo-hub, they can interact.
Also, only 1 Hopper can be connected the internet.
They should run fine

Over MOCA, I expect all Hoppers to have an Internet connection.

Well since i like to tinker LOL. it would be interesting to see if two or more hoppers could be converted into one big hopper. and that's using one HDMI input. i heard that it could be done years ago so i want to try it. and they would need to see each other... we were told the hopper don't need an internet connection. i am thinking here a single hopper and no on demand and PPV ordering. though i am thinking everything would need to be tied into my network so they can see each other!!!
