Vivek tells the crowd to think wireless, apps and voice control.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

There is talk how "Sling Saves Lives" (I would be interested in hearing that one)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Once again I would like to apologize for our coverage. Mother Nature got the best of us so our team couldn't fly into Nashville from Chicago. I have a feeling this caused a big issue as the crowd does seem to be anywhere near the size it normally is.

Wireless Joey will be available on 6/13.

DISH will launch an Internet Video service by the end of the year. (I think we knew that already)

Vivek is playing a game of Tech Trivia.

Tell me, are roman noodles cheaper than ramen noodles?

I'd be surprised if there really was a big announcement at this summit- but we'll know soon enough.

I am not expecting anything big and was told it would be incremental announcements to what was announced at CES.

You mean they're finally releasing the Hopper Whole Home Bug Zapper? Great!

The voice of the Hopper Rebel Wilson is there. (Hey wheres the Boston guys?!)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

They are showing some new Hopper commercials with Rebel Wilson as the voice of the Hopper.

If your a fan of the World Cup and don't have a Hopper then your not watching the entire World Cup! Lots of special interactive features will be on the Hopper for the World Cup.
