Related DISH Receiver Costs
While not "Hopper" DVRs themselves, other receivers that can be part of a DISH system or are standalone options also incur monthly fees. These are often used as client devices (like Joey) in conjunction with a main Hopper DVR or as a primary receiver for a single TV (like Wally).
- Joey, 4K Joey, and Wireless Joey: These client receivers, which extend your Hopper's DVR capabilities to other TVs in your home, typically cost $7.00 per month each. They do not have built-in streaming apps as they primarily rely on the main Hopper's functionalities.
- Wally Receiver: This standalone receiver has a monthly cost of $5.00 and comes with Netflix built-in.
The cost of a Hopper system is primarily determined by the main DVR unit you select, with additional fees for any client receivers you may need for other televisions.
