I wish they’d release a server type box connected to the sat, and then you license how many TVs you want to connect to it. Would be nice if clients could be Roku, Apple TV, etc. that way all video content on your TV can use one box...

You upgrade to Hopper 4 you get $20 discount per month for next 2 years.
That is what I want... as I prob won't be around with Dish to even go to it with the way they are jacking prices lately.

Lately? They have raised the price $5 a month for nearly every year of the 21 years that I have subbed.
Service providers are more interested in you using their equipment (with associated fees) than they are in building a box that would let you use someone else's hardware to view their content.
I dare say neither Dish, DirecTV, nor any cable companies will ever put out a "server" that allows us to connect via Roku, Apple Tv or any other companies multiple devices, the Amazon Fire Stick is just about all we are going to get.
The Hopper3 is about as close to your wishes as it will ever get - one connection at a time that is not Dish specific hardware. If they build a Hopper X that has more Fire Sick connections, they will probably charge a fee for those connections, so be careful what you ask for.

They didn't for most packages this much for many years...some they didn't adjust at all.
$5 may not seem much to many here but for most and someone already touched on it..those with fixed incomes can't handle it. The value/content isn't there like it used to be compared to other services.
Yeah that’s why in my initial post I said “license.”
I’d be more than willing to pay a license fee for each TV just to be able to use that one interface for all of my video content.
I’m close to going streaming anyway. Streaming video PQ is so much better. It stinks no 5.1 audio though.

Give them time...Work has been steady @ stately Dish Labs for you guys. They finally got all the recording LEDs corralled into the first prototype H4 chassis, but as you can see, taming that much LED light has proven a challenge.
There you go navychop
It’ll take a bigger box to house 64 recording leds. Or one lite and a tuner count display

Comcast already does, you no longer need a box, so no box fees, but you do have Broadcast Fees, local sports fees, DVR fees, franchise fees, local tax fees and whatever we want to charge you fees.
These fees is what keeps me away from all live pay TV, if they want to charge me extra for certain channels that they include in the package advertisement, they should give me the option of not having them to avoid the fees.

I'm not at all certain there will be an H4. After announcing they will not be launching any new satellites, I expect Direct has also decided their latest batch of receivers will be their last. While Dish hasn't (yet) issued any announcements, I suspect they may be leaning toward a similar policy.
Is Dish still manufacturing the H3 or are they simply providing subs with refurbished ones? In other words, if I upgrade my HWS to an H3, what are my chances of getting a new one?

Slim, at best. I can tell the ones I'm getting are refurbs
How is it you can tell a new one to a refurbish one, I forgot? Something to do with the way it is wrapped, right?We're getting mostly brand new ones.
