Hopper 3 issues - MultiView, On Demand, Bluetooth

[DishSubLA]

Remember when they announced Multiview, it was supposed to be 6 views not 4.

I think I do, but the bigger disappointment was that PIP was supposed to be on the Joey, but then Dish decided not to implement PIP on Joeys.

It may be easier to justify withholding PIP from the Joeys, since they are only clients with no tuners (with the exception of Super Joey, of course, which has two tuners). So, sending two streams simultaneously through the MOCA network to the same client may have been trickier than Dish anticipated. However, there is absolutely no excuse for withholding PIP from any Dish receiver that has two tuners of its own. To this day, the Wally still does not have PIP, and it was never available on the 612 either.

Moot point, since even it does not have PIP. Until PIP is actually released on any Joey, there is no real need to make a distinction.
