  1. Well, Haynes just landed a spot on the hottest new show on TV. Arrow has been amazing so far, and it seems like all my DISH coworkers are talking about it. There’s so much packed into each episode, so I like re-watching them on my DISH Hopper. I’m saving this entire season, since I have a 2TB hard drive. It’s nice to not have to worry about deleting shows at the end of this year like I had to with my last DVR. Now I just have to stay patient to see what other familiar faces make it to Starling City this year.
