PrimeTime Anytime is a special feature of the Hopper 3 that allows you to record every single show airing during primetime hours on NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX on only one single tuner every night. So rather than programming every show you want recorded across multiple channels and tuners, PrimeTime Anytime will do it all for you automatically!

You can also customize this feature by selecting which networks you’d like recorded, as well as what time frames you’d like PrimeTime Anytime to record during.

DISH’s Hopper 3 can record multiple shows on different channels – with 16 tuners you can record up to 16 shows simultaneously! Follow these steps to record multiple shows at once:

2. Find and then highlight the show you wish to record by either browsing through the guide by time, date or channel.
3. Press the RECORD button on your remote to bring up recording options for that show.
4. Set your preferred recording options like recording frequency (single time, recurring, all episodes, etc).
5. Finally, press the RECORD or CONFIRM button on you remote to set your show to record. Repeat all these steps for any additional shows you’d like added to your DVR’s recording schedule, repeating up to 16 total times to maximize your Hopper 3’s recording capability.

The Hopper 3 pairs with your 4K TV to deliver stunning ultra high definition to your screen. DISH includes 4K shows and movies available via On Demand, Pay-Per-View and special live events. Netflix and YouTube also include 4K content, both available with built in Hopper 3 apps.

The Hopper 3 can connect to your home’s internet either wirelessly via WiFi, or using an Ethernet cable. You can also choose to create a wireless sound system with the Bluetooth capabilities of the Hopper 3. Your Hopper uses cords to connect to the satellite dish, your TV and to a power outlet.

For cord-free entertainment in other areas of your home, add the Wireless Joey to your whole home entertainment system. This Joey uses your home’s WiFi to connect to the Hopper 3 without a coax cable.

There are two ways to connect your Hopper 3 HD DVR to the internet:

1. Use the Ethernet port on the back of your Hopper to connect the receiver directly to your internet router.
2. Connect to your home’s WiFi using the ‘Settings’ on your Hopper menu and select the ‘Internet’ button.

Watching Netflix on DISH Network requires a Netflix subscription (or a free trial) and an internet-connected Hopper. Log into your Netflix account once and simply choose the Netflix user who is watching. Thanks to the Netflix app on DISH, you don’t have to change TV inputs or remotes to watch.

Netflix is included in DISH’s universal search for easy navigation too! Transition seamlessly from watching past seasons of your favorite shows on Netflix to the new episodes you recorded on your Hopper.

Get TV shows, movies and documentaries anytime On Demand with your Hopper or the DISH Anywhere app. When your Hopper is connected to the internet, you can access DISH On Demand using your remote control. Watch movies and catch up on episodes of your favorite shows from the networks that are a part of your DISH TV package. Both free content and movies for rent are included On Demand.

The Hopper 3 can power up to 6 Joeys throughout your home for a total of 7 TVs. Create whole home entertainment with TVs in the kitchen, basement, bedroom and even outside! Each Joey is equipped with the easy-to-navigate Hopper menu. Choose from the Joey, Wireless Joey, 4K Joey, Joey 3.0 or Super Joey.

The Hopper automatically skips commercials in the shows recorded with Primetime Anytime, thanks to AutoHop. Your Hopper automatically records primetime TV from ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX. You can watch these shows the day after they air with absolutely no commercials.

These shows are automatically stored for 8 days, and you can save them commercial-free for longer by moving them to your Hopper’s hard drive. Due to DISH’s contracts with the 4 major networks in Primetime Anytime, there are some TV events that will not have commercials automatically removed by AutoHop.

The first generation of the Hopper does not have Sling technology built in, unlike the Hopper with Sling and Hopper 3. You can still take advantage of the DISH Anywhere app by connecting a Sling Adapter to your Hopper. The Sling Adapter is easy to conceal when slipped right on top of your DVR. There is no monthly fee to use the DISH Sling Adapter with your DVR, so enjoy unlimited on-the-go TV for long trips or your daily commute.

Connect your Hopper to a Sling Adapter and the internet to watch live TV and DVR recordings on your phone, tablet or laptop with DISH Anywhere. To send the TV programs you love to your phone, the DISH Sling Adapter compresses the satellite channel signals used by your DVR into signals sent via the internet.

The Sling Adapter works not only with the Hopper, but also with other DISH DVRs, including the ViP 722/722k HD DuoDVR. The DISH Sling Adapter and your DVR connect using the USB port on the front of your DVR. Your internet quality and speed will affect how DISH Anywhere works.

Adding a Sling Adapter to your Hopper or ViP 722 allows you to take your DISH subscription on-the-go. With no monthly cost, there’s no reason not to add value to your TV package and DVR capabilities. Now, DISH can join you on the road, at the office, with the kids or with the guys, all for no monthly fee.
