Nothing is "dependent" on Google Assistant. You don't have to access Assistant options and they won't matter anyhow if you don't link your Google Account to your Hopper.
Also, is that "Dongle", which is the Hopper Snap in the top USB port?? And all it does is speed up the reaction time of the remote as you use the menus/guide, etc.
Dunno no, perhaps this will answer your question:Do you have the original Hopper?
Was that the L shaped USB thing that speeds up the GUI? I think you can just unplug it without unplugging the receiver. But I don't know. When those things first came out, just about everybody saw impressive speed bumps on the GUI. From your comments above, I think you got a defective one.

Thanks for your reply but I give up trying to post what I wanted and am not physically able to crawl around to get it off the freaking rcvr.Do you have the original Hopper?

Thank you-It does. You have the 2nd Hopper gen, called a "Hopper with Sling". I still maintain you got a bad Snap and should get it replaced.

Unfortunately you can't post here and get a new Snap, unless another owner wants to send you one. It sounds as though you need another truck roll to get this problem addressed.
WHy get a new snap when you can probably get Hopper 3, and probably for free if you talk to Loyalty Dept.
On the alternative, why get a new Snap when the existing Hopper With Sling is apparently still working just fine without it? Remember, according to the OP, adding the Snap was something that Dish insisted on, not something the OP requested. Since the OP has noticed no difference in performance, the Hopper With Sling was probably responding relatively quickly to begin with, even without the Snap.WHy get a new snap when you can probably get Hopper 3, and probably for free if you talk to Loyalty Dept.
The OP has had the Hopper With Sling long enough to likely be grandfathered at the old $12 per month rate. Therefore, not paying "all the fees for a Hopper" since the Hopper 3 would cost $15 per month. If you want the extra features of the Hopper 3, it might be worth the extra $3 per month. Otherwise, why pay extra for features that you are not going to use?I think OP is just looking to complain, which is fine. I've been there many times!
Agreed, if I'm paying all the fees for a Hopper, it better be an H3. However, I don't think OP was looking for help...just to blow off some steam. I can relate, I've been there as well.
Tell you why. The snap has been known to cause issues in many cases. As we can see here.On the alternative, why get a new Snap when the existing Hopper With Sling is apparently still working just fine without it?

and even if, as crodrules suggests, that Hopper 2 is grandfathered at $12 ( and that is a possibility not a actual fact) it would be worth it to spend that extra $3 (think of it like 10 cents a day) to get all the best that you can get with a Hopper 3.Tell you why.

Hopper 3 is faster than a Hopper w/Sling. Better graphics processing. More apps. More tuners, and etc, etc, etc, for the same price.

I can't buy a cup of coffee for $3. I was simply pointing out the obvious, for, maybe, $3 a month you get rid of the issue entirely.Some members here are so quick to spend other people's money.
