Channel browsing and saw this remote on the Hopper Channel (103). It was on a commercial for the Hopper Magazine. Is this one of the new ones coming out soon?

Looks like a remote from a different cable company, unless Dish is planning on a new design for their remotes.
I doubt it's a Dish remote. It's possible Dish hired an different company to produce the how to use the Hopper video loop shown on. Ch.103 HD (SD ch. 103 is the this month's free preview channels list slate).

I certainly hope not. The layout is rather busy and it places the transport controls pretty low down on the keypad. Might be better than the touchpad that they showed at CES though.
If this is the new remote, then the almost 15 years of muscle memory I have with the current remote will go out the window, if I decide to get one. This will probably be the remote that will ship with the new Hopper mentioned in another thread here.

My color keys on the Hopper remote are, left to right, red, green, yellow and blue.
Maybe GE 8-Device Universal Remote Control 24959?
Those (4) colored buttons are used on other company's remotes as well. Well, they're there - can't say that they're used though.
It seems like manufacturers have been adding the colored buttons to remotes for a number of years without actually utilizing them. It reminds me of when they started putting the <*> and <#> buttons on phones and magnetic strips on the back of credit cards. Nobody knew why they were there, we just knew it was "something for the future."
The colored buttons are really handy on the Hopper. It's amazing how just four soft keys can add so much functionality without cluttering the remote. And since the on-screen menus are color-coded, you don't even have to remember which key does what. I have Samsung Blu-ray player that utilizes them, as well. My Pioneer TV remote has the buttons, but I've never found a use for them (but then again, I rarely use that remote).
