Dish "Trick Play" app (Updated with Pics)

[Tampa8]

On my LG Smart TV a new app is available with the Dishnetwork logo, and it says it's a test for the Dish Network Trick Play. It then asks for your Hopper IP address, though it stops at that point right now.
If it hasn't already been discussed (I didn't see it) does anyone know what it is?

See post 12 for pics.

A built in Joey maybe? D* is doing that with their Genie system.

I don't see Dish putting out a Smart TV "Joey" app for which they cannot charge us as though it were the real thing.

They'd probably charge for activation.

Where did you find that at? In the LG app store?

$7/mo?

I'm guessing but it's possible the TV duplicates the Dish Remote Access control available via the iPad/iPhone app, but this doesn't work with Hopper/Joey.

Ha! Sure they could (and would) charge you for that. Bet it's also at least $7/Mo if it ever happened too .

If it's a full client, they would probably charge the same monthly as a Joey.

It would be the same as the RVU clients built into Samsung units for D*. It saves having a client box for convenience, but it's the same monthly fee either way.

I searched for Dish Network Trick Play in the LG App World or whatever the store is called on our LG smart TV and I found 58 results but none by this name or that had a Dish Network logo.

In the DVR programing world trick play is code for Fast Forward and rewind. The word was also used in the Dish Tivo Court case.
Could it be something to do with pause or rewind controls passed from the TV to the DVR?

I didn't exactly "find" it - it showed up on the TV itself, in the APP selections. I only even noticed it because of the Dish Logo.
And they have worked on it today, second picture is slightly different than it was when I first found it.

What is the model number of your tv? (just curious....)

 

[GaryPen]

It could be a DRA-like app. In that case, no monthly fee.
If it is such an app, it would be nice if they can migrate it to other SmarTV platforms like Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, and, even better, STB's like Roku, GTV, and ATV.

This app has been updated on the LG TV. It says it allows you to watch a Hopper on any TV without needing another receiver, including use of DVR controls. It then asks you to name the Hopper, and enter the IP address. I can't tell if it's just one on your system or one on the internet.

(Note the updated pics in the tittle is from earlier posts, not new)

Wow that sounds VERY VERY cool! You might have to upgrade to a Hopper system to try it... (Or bring your TV over my house)

It then asks you to name the Hopper, and enter the IP address. I can't tell if it's just one on your system or one on the internet.

It wants the "local", private IP address of the Hopper, typically one in the 192.168.x.x range. It would be way to complicated for the majority of people to use the "public" side IP address that your ISP assigns you.

 

[Tampa8]

You are most likely correct. I might have to bring my TV to Scott's house....
