Let's just say the folks at Echostar are VERY busy right now.

Wish I could get on the SG team for CES. Travel would be cheap and easy, but I can't get tickets as I am a retiree that is not in any professional capacity for the show(per their pr person).

 

[TheKrell]

Unretire for a few weeks.

 

[ChadT41]

It's military retirement. Unretiring won't help anything but force me back into hell. Except this time I have tasted freedom.

I'd love to see a 4, 5, or 6 tuner Hopper.

Keep going.

I'd be surprised if they added more tuners. They are building hardware that works for the majority of customers, not for a small subset, and the # of tuners in the current Hopper was decided based on research they certainly did with customers. Adding more tuners that will go unused in most homes is a waste of $ for Dish, hence the addition of the Super Joey. Making the OTA adapter an add-on vs built-in like it used to be was done for the same reason. Maybe I'll be wrong though....

I could see the next Hopper supporting 4K, in fact, it almost has to. I wonder if they will shelve the Joey 4K (or whatever it is called .... that we haven't heard a peep about in months).

I thought you were running a dish installation business, and you turned it over to one of your deputies. I must have gotten you confused with somebody else.

Isn't beta tester a valid industry profession?

 

[ChadT41]

I don't think Sony and Apple will sponsor me. Lol.

Who needs hulu,youtube,vudu,amazon prime,etc when we are getting common sense media

 

[ChadT41]

Who needs all that when you got Netflix and VEVO and Pandora.

Problem is, you usually ponder yourself into disappointment.

I've heard that they are working on some highly requested apps They are also probably working on how to add more HD channels ! Yes !

I would just be happy, if Dish would fix the current HWS to record from OTA. Mine don't.

"Choice and control" according to vivek

Voice/keyboard remote would be cool. I was playing with my brother in laws voice remote with the x1 and it worked really good.

you never know it could be some apps or new hd channels we could be getting real soon.

 

[ChadT41]

But it also could just be a new interface with all the same ole same ole.
