However, upgrading the Hopper so soon may upset some users who bought the system last year.Mashable80Dish Hopper DVR Lets You Watch Satellite TV From ASumming up, this is a worthwhile upgrade to the Dish Hopper; if you're already a customer, I'd recommend going for the update. Its quicker response, Slingbox place-shifting and AutoHop commercial skipping sets it apart from any other DVR on the market.

The Blockbuster UI sucks, can't really find anything using the native search. I have a Vizio Co-Star plugged in. The Prime time feature is useless on the Hopper, it will record all the local Prime time crap.I wish I could filter all the sports CRAP channels from the My Channels and My HD channels list. I wish I could remove all of the sports channels, PERIOD, full stop. Other than that Dish service is awesome. Much better than the Digital Cable I had from my Internet (CC, great for internet service) company ten years ago, no green pixelated screen freezing ever.Engadget Reader90April 12, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

Remote is primitive and confusing, UI could be a lot better. However, the watch anywhere feature is 10/10, excellent.Engadget Reader90January 25, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Ipad apps helps extend the services.
