  • Ease of use The Hopper will not create keyword timers. Hence, you can not program the future TV fall series nor can you record all shows with a keyword like rocket. awful!
  • Design and form factor No comments great!
  • Storage capacity No comments great!
  • Expandability No comments great!
  • Other features (networking, etc.) No comments great!

I love my Hopper! I used to have to delete programs once a week with my old DVR, but I have not deleted anything since I got it and I still have plenty of space. As far as the keyword timer search is concerned I have not worked at Dish for that long so I don’t know the exact placement in the menu, but I pushed the pound button (#) a few weeks back and it pulled up a search box. I have been using it to search keywords and set up recording for upcoming events that way. I know it gets a little confusing with a new system, but I hope this helps you out.

The search allows you to find things that are in the grid. I'm a rocketeer. I like to record all shows with the keyword rocket. That is not possible with the hopper.
