[Scherrman]

Thanks Scherrman for everything? any release date yet or is its still May? Thanks again!!

All I've heard is sometime around May and still no price point other than it will be between $7 and $12. I'll keep asking.

Sounds to me like $12 then.

 

[Scherrman]

They might as well not produce them at all if that were the case. The overall consensus has been $10 for it.

 

[agentc13]

They said $10 in the video on the tech portal.

Granted nothings official until they do an official press release.

Yep $10. Warehouses(some at least) have them in stock now. Can't see Dish sitting on them for 2 more months...I'm sure they'll be out "soon".

 

[JSheridan]

I was told Mar 13 and $10.

 

[chapin4life]

anybody heard rumors on the price of the SJ without contract?

 

[Dr.Pepper]

March 13th is the newest revised release date, moved back from today.
Apparently the whip-lashings on the software engineers are not having the desired results that Dish wanted, so they had to move back the date.

The purchase price? I haven't heard anything but I'm going to guess $149 to $199.

I heard the same.

 

[Scherrman]

A March date does make sense since most of the Hopper products have been released in March. Always right before March Madness.

 

[satnewb]

Not to mention those customers who were original H2000 adopters are now nearing the end of their 24 months commitment. Time to release something later and greater to entice them to renew....

I wouldn't swear to it but I think the original release was about the middle of march as well.

Well, if they're like me they still have another year left because they upgraded to the Hopper with Sling last March. Something new every year.

I'd say this is a pretty big deal. There was a lot of criticism for only having 3 tuners, then the new lease fees for a second hopper, here's a perfect and cost effective solution. Kudus to Dish and its engineers.

 

[satnewb]

I agree, If I didn't have 2HWS I would definitely be interested. With my OTA module I would still have 6 tuners, they'd all be integrated, and I could save a couple bucks a month.

Granted with 2H/OTA you could say I have 7, but in all fairness it's 4/3. My ethernet Joe's would be able to see all the recording without having to re-link to the other Hopper. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's still an inconvenience.

 

[Scherrman]

Alright, just got confirmation from Dish that the release date will be March 13th and will cost $10 a month like stated before. For Flex customers the SJ will be $149. For existing customers the cost to upgrade will either be $0, $50 or $100 based on your status with Dish.

MSRP for the Super Joey will be $149.

Looks like the Integrator piece will be included with the Super Joey.

March 15th, 2012. I remember this because I was one of the few working that day and it took several days to complete all the upgrade requests in my inbox.
