Joe officially announces the Hopper with Sling.

DISH Anywhere powered by the Hopper with Sling.

It is wireless, has Hopper transfers which will allow you to transfer video to a device such as an iPad. ANd DISH Explorer which is a Second screen app.

Hopper Transfers looks cool, no need for a Nomad.

 

[John Kotches]

I like how Hopper Transfer sounds, hope to see it in action some day soon.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The new DISH social app looks cool.

 

[John Kotches]

Dish Explorer? Not getting much detail from CNET.

2 Million Hoppers / Joeys in just 9 months!

 

[John Kotches]

Wow, nice install base.

2million hopper/joey installs in homes according to Dish.

 

[Scherrman]

Awesome additional feature for the new Hopper. Any idea if the Hopper Transfer feature will work with the current Hopper model?

 

[B_Kranski]

Now the only problem, they are coming out with new hoppers so quickly. But I really like the idea of transfers.

 

[dont24]

Did they state how many tuners the new Hopper has ?

Technology is a bitch isn't it. As soon as you ugrade the next best thing is out.

You note they have full DRM and only one copy allowed out at a time.

I can't imagine there will be any lawsuits. The reason this feature hasn't been out already is because they were going through all the legal process with copyright. They showed a beta version of this with the 922 about 3 years ago.
