I hardly use the voice feature. I just love the backlight that comes on when you pick up the remote.
I can operate my old 40. remote in the dark. I know where every button is by feel, but the back light is neat. Also, in the guide, you can page up or page down. Dish should publish a list of all the Voice Remote functions. Her is a start from the Dish instructions, but it is not complete. You must press and hold the microphone button on the remote for these to work.

Does anyone know if the new remote has soft buttons or the hard plastic ones like the 52.0? Also, how do you control the TV power on and other devices now that the power button is gone?
One more question - anyone seen any reviews online about the new remote yet? Thanks!

It has a mixture of hard and soft buttons. They are kinda strategically placed to help you remember where some things are when you aren't looking right at it. Power-wise. The single power button automatically operates the sat receiver and the TV when you hit it. If you want to turn on an aux device, you hit the aux input button then power. Same if you want to just turn on/off the TV...hit the TV input button, then hit power.
It’s just in case say a pet steps on the remote and happens to press the power button. You won’t lose the ability to go back and watch what you missed due to that mishap. I mentioned it earlier in this thread I believe.

Just do not leave the remote on the floor, where the dog can walk on it. Most people use an end table.
Put it on the end table and the cat ends up changing the channel. She seems to like Lifetime.
Must be your wife's cat!
It is but my wife hates Lifetime. She rather watch HLN for Forensic Files.
Hey guys I want to get the new 54.0 voice remote....I have the Hopper 3 but it says the it requires the Hopper Carbon User Interface.What is the Hopper Carbon interface and how do I know if I have it? Thanks
It is the user interface your Hopper 3 has in it. The 54.0 remote will work and it is awesome.
