How can I hide my satellite dish?

You can hide your pole-mounted satellite dish within a circle of tall plants. Look for species that grow well in your area with very little care or supplemental water. Place each plant at least as far away from the satellite dish as half of the mature height of the plant. Shop around for an artificial cover.

What is the difference between Hopper and Hopper with Sling?

Hopper with Sling is technically superior to the DirecTV Genie, though. Hopper has a built-in Wi-Fi radio, while Genie has an external Wi-Fi device. Hopper has a remote finder (it lights up and beeps) and a way to connect a Bluetooth headset. The Hopper is also much faster.
