Dish Hopper compatibility with daily service address changes.
90% of our viewing is on major networks. Sometimes we want to record more than two (2) network programs).
Occasionally we want to also record 2-3 ?cable? channels at the same time as well.
10 PM is the most difficult time. Back in the day with E/W feeds this was not an issue (recorded two at 10 PM & two at 1 PM)
Dish Hopper sounds good on the surface but, we already have to stop early as it takes up to an hour to change locals when traveling (chat, check switch, accept download and Update schedule). Occasionally we have to go through it all again if the download fails.
What are the downsides of RVing with a Hopper and changing locals daily?
