DATE: August 31, 2018 at 4:58 PM
It's still time to believe in DISH's technology, especially when it comes to high-definition DVR receivers. As customers consider the number of TVs they have in their home to the amount of storage space they need to record their favorite movies and shows, they can put their trust in all of the technology DISH has to offer.
DISH Authorized Retailers, who run their own business selling DISH products and services in their local communities, can also put their trust in knowing their customers are able to experience the next-generation home entertainment that DISH provides.
But how does a customer know which DVR receiver to put into their home? How do they make the decision to pick the receiver that will match their wants and needs? Let us answer these questions as we break down the differences between the four best DVRs from DISH.

Starting off with the top solution, the Hopper 3 is the world's most powerful HD DVR. It makes complicated things easy and reinvents the way customers watch TV. Some of its biggest features that stand out above the rest are (1) the ability to watch or record up to 16 shows at the same time, (2) the capability of supporting 7 TVs in one home, and (3) its built-in capacity to view 4K content.
Even outside the family of Hopper receivers, the Hopper 3 stacks up well against some of the industry's direct competitors. Let's briefly take a look at a side-by-side comparison.
