Can't record Netlfix on Hopper. As far as the techs having the OTA dongle, I bet that probably depends, I know you can order them from Dish or other places for about $30 or so.
Movies don't stay on Netflix forever, they drop off after a time. There are close to 100 movies that is being dropped by Netflix in January. I have had where I seen a movie listed that I wanted to watch, came back a week or two later and it was gone. If they could be recorded I could record them as soon as I see them then watch them weeks or months later without having to worry about that.
On new years eve, the family was watching Charlie and the chocolate factory... 2 minutes before the ball dropped we went outside and watched ABC for about 30 more minutes. After that, we came in and the movie was no longer available. Just completely gone. Did not seem as if it existed anywhere anymore. I am still listening to my girlfriend go crazy, because she had never seen this one(only took her 10 years to see this 'new release')
Haha !!! It is gone too....
I had to order mine separately from the install as per the rep that set up my upgrade. But was able to order and have them in hand at the time of the install so we could make sure that "everything" worked before the installer left. The installer thought that was a good idea. Things may have and probably have changed.
It really doesn't have anything to do with cost. Sometime people want to watch content while offline. When I fly I prefer watching my own content and it is nice that with Amazon Prime and Dish Anywhere I am able to download and watch content offline. Unfortunately this is not nor according to Netflix will never be possible through their service as they feel that their subscribers are not capable of downloading content. http://fortune.com/2015/09/08/netflix-offline-download/

Ahh, that is the key. "download" not "record". It is right there in section 6 e. :.... You agree not to archive, download .."
