Dish Hooper 3

Question

I have the dish 722 receiver that we use at home and use it when we are traveling in the RV. Seams like the 722s have been rebuilt too many times they are not working very well and dish replaces them but it is pain to loose recordings and resetting them up.
How is the new Hooper 3 working to use at home and use it for traveling . Read soon reviews and it sounds like it relely has more capabilities.
Thanks for any info
Dan

The Hopper 2 and 3 both work great.  You will need an open face antenna to work with it as it cannot work with one of the dome antennas.  If you want automatic antenna the Winegard Trav'ler will work with the Hopper 2 and will work with the Hopper 3 but you must replace the LNB and do a bit of work-around to have the antenna lock on.
