Just a neat feature to match what everyone else is doing. The Xbox One has it and DirecTV has it so Dish has it now. To me it's just a gimmick, I don't even use the feature on my iPhone. I can do half the things they showed in the demo faster on my own without the voice feature.
But you said it's not possible
.They really do need to upgrade their backend.

I suppose anything is possible but the way Dish has there installs setup it's not easy to make happen. It wouldn't be for free either.
Nothing is free
.I think what I'm most interested in is the new Joey with faster hardware. Going from a HwS to my Joey 1.0 is almost painfully slow in comparison. Even the H2k is still reasonably fast when the software isn't acting up. The Joey 1.0 just feels massively underpowered these days.

They may have to. This is the part that drives me crazy as a retailer. I'm hearing the awesome news at the same time as the rest of you but I have no idea as to what the details are. Now I have to wait for Dish to get me the info on fees and all the other important tidbits. I'm pretty antsy right now.
Yes they do. I was thinking from a basic install point of view there. You can do about anything you want to do if you throw enough money at it.
They allow four Hoppers (I have four) but it's pricey and I had to come up with a backend to support them. It would be nice if they came out with a better backend. I'd definitely swap out my backend for something simpler.

I have 3 722s and 1 612 now. Been working great for me. Would only upgrade to a 3H, 3J setup. But the fact I'd have to purchase the 3rd hopper at full price, plus monthly hardware charges, didn't sit well with me. Will wait and see what I can do with these new joeys.
Didn't you have to buy one of those ViP receivers? Dish has always had a six-tuner lease policy. They never leased any more than that.

That is strange. The rule has been 3 receivers or 6 tuners only, after that the customer must purchase the equipment.
I think a Super Joey would go on the second host port of a duo node... Note that this wastes one tuner socket (for want of a better word for it) on the duo node. Shoulda put in a 3rd tuner in the Super Joey and one-upped DirecTV!
