Dish 60.0 Remote

[jackson85]

Hopefully shortly.

I have been testing one for a few months now... (well let me clarify that... my Wife has been testing it.) and it is a lot larger then the 54 remotes but she likes it better then the 54 remotes, and with the size of it she does not lose it as often as she did the 54's.

I just upgraded from a Joey 2.0 to a Joey 4.0, but no new remote with this upgrade. So, Scott should I just wait for the new remote you are testing and just be patient

No one will get one of these remotes unless you order it from Dish.

It is missing some things that the 54.0 remote has.
MIT is made as a big button remote for people like seniors who have trouble with the regular remote.

I just tried to order one in MyDish. Said it wasn't available when I tried to checkout.

I called Dish. CSR odered the 60.0 as a replacement. Since I had the protect plan on my account he said there will be no charge. LOL, time will tell. I bet I get a 54.0 or Dish will charge me. No telling!

I never trust any CSR'S when there lips are flapping there lying LOL

I saw DISH post about the 60.0 remote yesterday, and in their posting it says to use it that you need to unpair your 54.0 remotes from your device (Hopper or Joey) before using it.

Not sure why they are saying this as I use both fine.

I never unpaired my 54.0 remotes and the 60.0 didn't have any problems.

Where did you get your 60.0?

If he tells you he will have to kill you!

 

[John2021]

Me too. But he said it will be a 60.0.

My 54.0 remote croaked to one of the joey 4's.. had to order another one at 2am . process was smooth the rep just asked me if it was a 54.0 or a 54.3

Got it

Can anybody verify this works with a Wally??

I have a 99 year old grandfather who has been using Dish for years. I originally had one of the "Basic" remotes (anybody remember those ) but it wouldn't work when he was upgraded to a Wally. So since then he has been using a 40.0 with a bunch of the buttons taped off!

Hoping maybe the 60.0 would be a good fix ...

Yes, works with Wally.

60.0 remote works great. I might purchase some more when they get more in stock.

Been using my new 60.0 remote paired to my Hopper 3 Plus for several hours now. I think the remote's response/lag time is a little better than my 54.0 remote. Anyone else noticing that too?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I haven't used it much to be honest...

My wife won't let me touch it... it is HER remote. Lol. She loves it!

Has she said if response/lag time is a little faster? Is she using it with a Hopper Plus setup? My wife is going to give it a try. Wonder if Dish is going to come out with skins for it!
