DISH Expands Amazon Alexa Voice Control Support

Are you kidding me? I can change Alexa to DISH?

I'm sure you can change the trigger word... not sure if you can change it to "Dish"

WOW, that is awesome. Doesn't have to be DISH, any one syllable word will do for me. Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can only change it to Alexa, Echo or Computer. Havent look at it since I set them up. Mine are set for Alexa, my sister has theirs set to Computer

The four choices are: Alexa, Amazon, echo and computer.

Latest error is "play NCIS" plays NCIS: NOLA

We had it set to "Computer", but it caused too many false triggers, especally when watching Star Trek or Big Bang Theory. Even saying "come here" to the dog would sometimes set it off.

Echo will work for me.

Darn. I wanted to change it to "HAL."

LOL, that is scary. HAL might just take over your Hopper and lock you out!

Only if your name is Dave!

How would you explain how Alexa locked out your Hopper to Charlie!

Possible. Especially since my name really is Dave.

Dave: Hal, change to channel 300.

Hal: I'm sorry Dave I can't do that, you've been a naughty boy!!!

 

[charlesrshell]

Dave: Hal, change to channel 300.

Hal: I'm sorry Dave I can't do that, you've been a naughty boy!!!

I hate that when the Hopper miss behaves.

You will really like your dot after you get used to it charlesrshell.
After having one for awhile I bought more and put around the house. They come in handy for all kinds of things.
You can set reminder alarms, ask it a question, "How many cups in a gallon", etc

 

[comfortably_numb]

you've been a naughty boy!!!

I can neither confirm nor deny that statement

 

[KE4EST]

Dave: Hal, change to channel 300.

Hal: I'm sorry Dave I can't do that, you've been a naughty boy!!!

Ha! I was thinking of a different "higher" channel number when I read your post.

It'll even make a grocery list for you. "Alexa, add Jack Daniels to my list."
