Retailer Chat from CES

Is the iPhone App blutooth? The only Roku stuff I found was via LAN.

It is via LAN, but it works for my purpose...

Seems odd the SJ has no PiP?

SJ not allowed with 2 Hoppers? What if you purchase your own? Will they activate it?

Dish will pretty much activate anything you buy as long as you do not get too many boxes on your account.

Except for my 111, and my 301, and my 4900.

OK I should have said any new and current equipment you buy.

I figured the same thing. We will have to wait until the product is out and people try to push the limits of what can be done. Just remember, as soon as something is figured out you will see it posted on here.

I imagine lots of things are possible but won't have Dish's blessings because they don't want the headache of supporting it. Plus the engineers are never going to approve anything that stresses the system, i.e., consumes more bandwidth than they have budgeted for plus gobs of headroom.

Sounds like the virtual Joey is a type of sling device.

I hope the interface is not as crappy as the sling adapter interface.

not a sling like device and has the same look and feel of a regular Joey.

It's more like putting the Joey software on an app and downloading it to a device. The Joey was nothing more than a client so it still works the same way other than it's not wired.
