Terrible call to DiSH

[Jim5506]

Well, Hopper 3, like the label says.
The reason the Hopper 2 was named Hopper w/Sling is that the original Hopper (Hopper 2000) didn't have sling technology.
When the Hopper 3 came out, also with Sling technology, they renamed the previous Hopper 2 and didn't add the "with Sling" to the name of the Hopper 3

But, the front of the receiver says "Hopper 3 with Sling".

Because it has Sling Technology.

Dish never had a Hopper 2. What we often term Hopper 2 is actually Hopper with Sling. There are 4 versions of Hopper; Hopper 2000, Hopper with Sling, Hopper 3, and Hopper Duo.

But you know that Hopper 2 is what we all call it when we are referencing the sequence of hoppers from Hopper 1 to Hopper 3. I don't refer to it as the Hopper with Sling, unless you are looking back on all information about the model when it first came out.

DISH has always called em
the hopper DUO a dual tuner box wich makes no sense at all
the hopper with sling a three tuner box
then the hopper 3 with sling
