We have DISH in our S/B and use in the RV with a Pathway X2.

My question is for recording is the Hopper3 and Joeys a better system than a Blu Ray player.

We don't qualify for the free Hopper upgrade.

Blu-ray players in the USA, don't record anything, they just play BD, dvd, cd, and most also have USB input for playing other content, and Wifi for internet streaming netflix, youtube, amazon video etc..

if you want to record Satellite content, it has too be with a satellite DVR , and that is encrypted and cannot be copied and used with any other hardware
