I'm awaiting the Wombat.Can "Perth," "Adelaide," "Canberra," and "Hobart" be far behind? I guess if they ever wanted another marsupial they could come out with a Possum to hook up to your Hopper and Joey.

No, because it's not availableHas Dish announced the price for the new voice remote?
Until there us linear 4K content I doubt they will have any sat delivered 4K. Other posts report it will only be streamed content at this point.So, in order to make room for any potential upcoming 4K content, will Dish convert some of their HD channels to part-time HD? Hey, it works for the local RSNs, why not expand it?
Color me disappointed.
I asked roger from slingtv about the bit rate.
He said they encode in 13 different rates. The highest being 5Mbps for ESPN. They are using multiple CDN's.
But most cord cutters aren't concerned with quality either.
No kidding. Cord cutters would be more likely to buy or rent Blu-rays which can't be beat for PQ.Not true! We get FAR better PQ from Netflix and Amazon than I ever got from Dish!
Surprising that Dish is replacing the Hopper/Joey UI already:
I was waiting on getting a new hopper (since I have version 1) until CES. But it looks like I will be upgrading since a version 3 doesn't look to be on the horizon. But I might just wait until the new remote comes out.
I suspected all along that the hopper with sling could do 4k ,but after hearing that only the joey will be 4k, I really wonder what the hell they are doing.You make an excellent point. It would seem the Hopper would need to be 4K in order for the Joey to be so.
Yet, if it is, they have been doing a good job keeping that fact quiet.
