We have a hopper 3 no issues with recording streaming channels

I tried this the other night and it worked on my H3.

it will be interesting to see if charlie turns the hoppers into streaming boxes over time kind of like the old Tvision service with set top boxes

I know this isn't happening because of how the channels are setup, whether it be a technical or a contractual piece with channel providers. But I thought Dish would do something where all the national satellite channels would have a streaming versions 1000 channels higher. So if you went to 105, you got USA Network from satellite, if you went to 1105 you got the streaming version of USA Network. 106 is TV Land from satellite, if you went to 1106 you would get the streaming version of TV Land. 140 is ESPN from satellite, if you went to 1140 you would get the streaming version of ESPN. 401 would be Golf Channel from satellite, 1401 would be the streaming version of Golf Channel. So many of these channels are already streaming in Dish Anywhere, so Dish already has access to the streaming feeds of these channels...
