DISH 2016 CES Press Event

[Scott Greczkowski]

Two questions if I upgrade my two HWS to Hopper 3 and a Joey:

Will the Joey have PIP?
Will the Joey support Bluetooth headphones?

No the Joey will no have PIP. However the 4K Joey will support PIP sometime after it is released.

The Joey does support Bluetooth Audio but requires an adapter which you can get from DISH. I would send you one as DISH gave me a bunch but I have already given them to other SatelliteGuys members.

I am told that with the Hopper 3 it will only accept certain model drives.

If you need more storage use an external hard drive.

Scott, in all sincerity, call it a night and go enjoy yourself. You've done enough!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Will the 4K Joey cost more?

I have been told that they will cost the same as a regular Joey. (Not confirmed) but at the beginning they may be made available for those with 4K TV's.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

what i heard that the 4k joey will have bluettooth built in so you can listen to your bluetooth headphones.i just hope the new hopper 3 has it also.

Hopper 3 has built in Bluetooth.

I agree with KAB. Not just a night, take tomorrow off from SG. Your staff has this, and most questions can be easily answered from previous answers. Enjoy your trip sir.

I will be taking tomorrow off as I head back home to Connecticut. I am back in the room now trying to put a few videos online, the internet is currently working. After this I will go get something to eat as I haven't eaten anything today.

Enjoy the big Vegas buffet. I'll be in Vegas for the first time in my life on Friday, but only for a 45 minute layover to Texas.

Will they still allow two 211's on an account with a Hopper 3?

Good Lord, you are a PUP in the world! My last count was 11 (about half business).

EDIT: 16 after I added them all up.

...
- The present 722k has an add-on OTA module that actually supports two OTA tuners. I really like having that option. Earlier Scott mentioned that the Hopper 3 will only support one OTA tuner. Does that mean that the OTA module from the 722 can't be integrated into the Hopper 3? If so, boooo!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide the infomation I am seeking. It's much appreciated.

The Hopper series uses a USB tuner. No room for that huge OTA duo tuner in a Hopper.

I can't say one tuner out performs the other, as I live in a strong signal area.

Great CES coverage Scott, just wanted to say thank you very much for your hard work and constant stream of information. It is very exciting and helpful at the same time.

Oh I avoid on purpose. Haha. I may or may not have a love of gambling that should not be in Vegas. We have casinos here when I feel like getting a fix though. The other stuff doesn't really interest me as much.

Nah no Buffett instead I found a Popeyes Fried Chicken, I am happy with a two piece meal.

 

[ChadT41]

I just want a trip through NC and get some BoJangles. My best friend moved there from Cali for the Marines, and he knows how much I love it and sends me photos to get under my skin all the time. My girlfriend lived there, and the first year of our relationship was long distant. I tell her I kept coming for the Bo, and she tells me she moved here for the citrus and Mexican food... Now the question... Do we really love each other or our "native" food???

 

[navychop]

Love that Popeye's! And I always get the red beans and rice.

 

[stardust3]

Bojangles is the only fast food joint I'll eat at.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Never heard of Bojangles.

 

[ChadT41]

Never heard of Bojangles.

Your life is not complete til you get some Bo. Make a special trip to NC... Go to the beach or something. It's worth it.

 

[stardust3]

It's real similar to Popeyes.

I don't think they're exclusive to NC, there all over E TN

Your 622 has a fixed tv1 and tv2 tuner that remain tv1 and tv2 as you go. The hopper uses floating tuners that assign themselves to recordings and tvs as they are turned on, and are given up when turned off or taken over by another tv. Being 16 tuners, I would assume that there won't be too many tuners being taken over and changing.

Ah so each 3 TVs are in use, a DVR timer would automatically go to the 4th tuner? If I'm reading that correctly
