Hopper remotes. Hopper Voice and Hopper Standard

[Hall]

One option is that almost everything is done on-screen with the new UI. Does it act like a mouse with an on-screen pointer?

It doesn't even have a 4-way (arrows) keypad. The (4) color buttons, PIP/Swap, Search, Format, and so on... I could see that pressing the "Options" button could then display many of these all on the screen.

Without color buttons, are we now losing the green button closed caption toggle shortly after getting it?

Yes and no...

First your existing remote will still work.
Second on the touchpad remote there it's one programmable key which you can Program as the green button.

There was also talk of having a key press combination such as a long press off the mute button to turn it on or off as well.

Both remotes shown above have hard mute buttons.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes just press and hold it... Which is also how to fast forward and rewind.

What's your point? Not being negative, just don't understand.

Ooops, I realize that Scott is referring to the CC on/off toggle option, not the mute button.

Sorry, Scott, I still don't completely understand on the FF/Rewind: How do you toggle between 4x/15x/60x/300x speeds if you press and hold? Or can you?

You press and hold the left or right arrows after a second it goes into rewind our fast forward mode. Then tap it again to change speeds.

How does this remote control use the color buttons like on the present hopper remote control?

Scott explained it in a CES thread

 

[Hall]

People asked but I don't recall an answer. Speculation was that hitting the "OPTIONS" button would change the touchscreen but the only pics I've seen were with it either off or blank or just a numpad.

The color buttons must be someplace. I noticed in the thread that had pics of the new UI guide there is a red button to select for Options.

 

[Hall]

There is also an "Options" hard-button, so no need. The red button can be for people who keep their original remotes.

That was my exact question I asked myself last night.

Will show number pad only...

there will be enough other on-screen shortcuts for all other features. I am pretty excited

the box knows if you use a old remote or new remote, and will show a "red" key or a "options" key

Options key brings up on-screen UI. There is a key labeled "123" that brings up the number pad on the touchpad (not a touchscreen)

One of the pictures above, showing the guide, has both visible, like "<red-button> Options".

I mentioned in another thread that maybe all of these functions will be done on-screen. For quick, ease of use, this a step backwards though.

yup - work in progress
