The DISH Hopper 3 is a digital video recorder supplied to DISH satellite TV subscribers. While it can record and broadcast multiple streams at once, a new feature is bringing free, ad-supported video streams directly from the device.
There are three so-called FAST sections called Bonus View Western, Bonus View Classics, and Bonus View The Movies.
It’s just the latest company to offer free, ad-supported streaming content with the format taking off in 2023. Everyone from Roku to Samsung is offering a free stream, with the ads enough to generate a new source of revenue.
Here’s a rundown of the Hopper channels:
- Bonus view Westerns
- 091-1 NOST
- 091-2 Cowboy Way
- 091-3 Lone star
- Bonus view Classics
- 092-1 Electric Now
- 092-2 The Bob Ross Channel
- 092-3 The Film Detective
- 092-4 The three stooges
- 092-5 stash TV the classics

A spokesperson for DISH wasn’t immediately available to clarify when these launched and what the future plans are for streaming content on the Hopper DVR.
