We need virtual joey to be available just like dishanywhere / sling is (dishanywhere / sling to work like virtual joey).
Unless it is cheaper than monthly Joey fee,I do not see this working for my son. Why would he want to take the time to boot up his PS4, then load an app, when for the same exact monthly fee he can just turn on his TV and be watching right away.
Obviously it's not going to be beneficial for everyone but it will solve some issues for some. With the Virtual Joey you can now get satellite on a TV that does not have any cable run to it. You can just bring your PlayStation to any TV you want in the house.
I myself do not see an issue with having to turn on the PlayStation to watch TV. It's not like it takes a long time for it to start up. My PS3 starts up faster then my surround sound and that's something I turn on every time I watch TV.
If it costs the same, which is probably will (unfortunately), you can get an extra joey for nothing. So for those who are not under contract, they have a new "receiver" and they are are still not under contract and haven't paid an extra cent for the equipment.Unless it is cheaper than monthly Joey fee,I do not see this working for my son.

In theory, it would be less equipment plugged in and easier for people who aren't tech savvy, but if you have a PS3 or PS4, you are probably tech savvy enough to benefit from that.
For a person like me without a Hopper, there is no gain to switch over if I have to pay for the "virtual joey" every month. I'd be under contract then and paying notably more. I'd have HD on two screens, but for a notably higher price.
Bingo as that is what it is doing.I'M guessing the Hopper is just streaming a feed to the ps4, including the guide/menus ect. The ps4 ain't doing much.

All of the pricing information is speculation. I'm pretty certain that Dish has NOT announced pricing for ANY of the new Joey varieties.Wait a minute. The VJ will be the same monthly cost as a regular Joey? Or this is the going speculation?

PS4 is better than Xbox One (I preferred Xbox 360 over PS3.)
If the PS4 had backwards compatibility I'd buy one right now. My PS3 broke but got got my son a new game for Christmas so I need to get it fixed misread of just buying a PS4.
Is there some sort of ability to upgrade? I know my nephews paid some fees per game to get the Xbox 360 version turned into the Xbox One version...
