A 16-tuner H3 = more than five 3-tuner older Hoppers.
When Dish makes the DPH42 switch available and allows more than one H3 on an account, I'll likely upgrade.

We use the cottage HWS to record programming we would miss while underway for later viewing with the DishAnywhere app as well recording any programming that exceeds our local HWS's 4 tuner capacity. The DPH42 will also give us the ability to use our existing 1000.4 dishes and LNBF setups without needing the hybrid LNBF's that only fit the 1000.2 dish. The DPH42 will also mean folks with a Trav'ler won't need any mods to use it with an H3 beyond adding the switch.
