If I read your question correctly, I am bit confused.
A Blu Ray plays HD DVDs and doesnt record or process sat signals.
It will deliver a better picture if you have a HD 1080p tv and the recording is in a HD native resolution.
A Hopper will record in 1080i with some compression but is still a good picture.
What I am reading is that some Blu Ray's have Wi-Fi and can also stream from the Internet.
They do not make your DISH TV experience better though from further research on the Hopper.
Thanks and looking for more....
Our Sony BluRay has built in wifi and is enabled to stream Netflix, HULU, etc but it doesnt work very well and has a terrible user interface eg you have to use arrow keys and poor alpha numeric input for searches.
Yes, Hopper has much better streaming capability and netter user interface.
Not familiar with Amazon and other versions but Apple TV is my favorite. The new one uses SIRI for searches, channel finding.
Campground wifi will usually be your limiting factor.
