New nickname for the Hopper with Sling

[Scherrman]

I'm watching the retailer chat and one of the Dish guys mixes up his words and calls the Hopper with Sling, the Slopper. Made me laugh pretty good and thought you guys would find it humerous too.

 

[TheKrell]

Yeah that's pretty funny. I wonder if it will stick? I personally favor Slingloaded Hopper, or even Hopper Mk.2, to Hopper with Sling.

I had been calling it the Hopper II so far but Slopper is a good one!

 

[dare2be]

As soon as I read the thread title and before I opened the thread, I came up with Slopper too.

 

[dare2be]

If you recall, I was one of the first to coin "Flopper"...good thing that didn't reflect reality.

"Hopper 2" works for me. "slingloaded" and "hopper with sling" remind me of the stupid marketing name they had for the 922.

In fact H2 is even better for forum use. Less keystrokes. (Heh. I said "strokes")

I saw someone on here call it Slopper, forget who... Personally I prefer Hopper 2 (even though it's more like Hopper 1.5.)

More like Hopper 1.1.

How about " not the 922 " or the "922 that realy works like advertised"?

 

[dare2be]

Not the mama.

 

[Stargazer]

How about "Sling-loaded Wi-Fi-Enabled Hopper Mark II Designed for Broadband including Apps". That'll compensate for a small winkie almost as well as owning a Humvee.

 

[Thankful]

How about "HopSling?" Kind of reminds me of Hopsing from the old Bonanza series.

 

[Roxor]

I think it should be named "Soon".

 

[Scherrman]

I think it should be named "Soon".

That would be more appropriate for Dish as a whole according to everyone here. LOL. The Hopper itself has been pretty good at keeping things up to date and being on time, other than the OTA module.

"SOON Network, home of the Slopper where you never have it your way"

 

[theoak]

My vote would be "Hopper 2013".

 

[Cyclone]

Hehe, Slopper works for me.

The first thing I thought was Slipper, or Hopping lol
