Alright guys this is getting out of hand! Let's drop the personal attacks or you will be removed from this thread. I do not want to close this thread. So let's keep it on topic and off each other.
Dish kept hounding me about getting one of these free GA remotes by sending me unsolicited emails over the course of a few months. I never really wanted one, so I ignored their repeated emails. Finally Dish gave up and just decided to send one to me - of course, I responded by littering various social media accounts with negative feedback about Dish. I'm suspicious of a company sending me free stuff without me requesting it and think they are just inflating metrics and sharing my info w/ Google.
Or, it is because they are planning on phasing out the old remotes, and those that just “threw the new one away” will be charged for a replacement. That’d be my guess. Granted, probably not for atleast a year or two.
There is no free lunch. If a company gives you something for 'free' they are getting something out of it.
What do you mean? Don't be passive aggressive, if you have something worth saying man up and say it.
We've been talking about the new remotes on here for months. It's been explained why over and over and who gets them for free and someone who has a history of denigrating anything about Dish anytime he can comes on here with some paranoia about a, pardon my pun, "Quid Pro Quo" because he got on the remotes sent to him
I don't post here as much as you, don't follow every thread, and I don't know who you are, I asked once because you pretend to have some authority here and you refused to answer. If you don't like the subject of this thread, don't read it. And I don't have a history of denigrating anything about dish but I do have a growing dissatisfaction and AFAIK that isn't against the rules.
Did I say you?? I just answered your question. I never said any names, but if the shoe feels like it fits, maybe you're wearing it
I'm sure you're trying to get the thread closed so I won't engage your trolling further. If you legitimately have something to say, send me a PM and we'll sort it out.
Yesterday my internet went down and I could not use the voice command to do anything. I got an error message saying an internet connection is needed. The voice command prior to going with Google worked without an internet connection. So I would have to relearn how to do things without the voice command on the 54 remote. I found my 40 remote and had no further problems. Internet is now back but I am still using the 40 remote.
Sorry I didn't remember that. Still it was way easier to use the 40 remote than the 54 remote when the internet went down and after it came back.
IMHO the best thing about the 40.0 remote is that it has more buttons, and the worst thing about it is that it has more buttons. 
I used voice search today and it worked, and on the first try. Just thought it was fair to give props on this rare event.
