What customers say
Customers highly value the DISH Hopper 2 for its industry leading features, especially the integrated Sling technology enabling excellent remote access. PrimeTime Anytime and AutoHop are significant conveniences that enhance viewing for dedicated consumers. The hardware offers robust storage and quality HD output. However, this powerful feature set is frequently undermined by significant technical instability. Widespread reports cite software glitches, slow response times, and frequent reboots, particularly after updates. This inconsistency makes the sophisticated system feel unreliable. While the feature set is unmatched, the recurring performance friction diminishes the overall value proposition, leaving users frustrated with the premium price point.
