UPDATE ON FEATURES:
Okay, so I have played with it for about a week. The voice part is cooler than I thought at first. For example; if I say "NBC" or "Discovery" it will change to that channel. "settings" opens settings. "Green Bay Packers" opens up Dish sports and shows info on the pack! (Or whatever team you ask for). "Fast forward" of course FF (although I am not sure why you wouldn't simply press the FF button. One of the buttons on the right side is a short cut button. It is defaulted as a record button (which is a great addition since the 52.0 doesn't have one). I haven't figured out how to change this shortcut to something else. Anyways, still playing and will keep you updated.

Is it ff or a 30 second jump? If it's ff that would be cool because ff actually is a press and hold I hate dual functions.
Perhaps you have to say "Skip Commercial" to eliminate pressing skip forward 30 seconds repeatedly in order to get around the commercials! LOL
Fast forward is FF. If I ask it to "skip ahead" or "skip commercial" I get "No results found".
"Turn off" works. That's one I hadn't thought of. Not sure why I'd use it since I could just hit the power button. "All off" would be a cool one though. "Live TV" was just tried and works!
They are not out yet. I was in a "special" situation where I was able to whine myself into one.
If you meant "list", there might be but I only got it in a bag, not the box it would come in. That's a great idea though. I'm gonna google it and see if there is anything out there. (Although it is somewhat rewarding when I find a new command that works) lol
Scott has posted the beta test is a month so at least that much longer.Who can I whine too?
If tv is connected directly to hopper sure. Using a avr in between i'm not sure. I have tv and avr linked not H3.
Looks like the TV is the central controler so I guess dish to avr to tv is no good.
