Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte, Jason Lezak, oh my!

I don’t know if it’s just me but I love the swimming competitions the most! Lochte, Phelps, Dwyer, Jones, Beisel, and Franklin are my favorites on a long list of talented athletes. Channels like MSNBC, CNBC, BRAVO and NBC Sports are presenting all of the sports and to be honest, that’s a lot of channels to watch. It kind of makes it hard to set everything up to record. A Dish co-worker suggested I upgrade to the Hopper a few months ago which comes with three tuners so I can record all those stations and it also has four times more space than your average DVR! Now I can make sure that all of my favorite events are being recorded and I don’t have to worry that I’ll run out of space. Go Team USA!
