also can you ask them why they have wrong guide data in several cities including the home of CES- Las Vegas and what they will do to fix them and when?

Some wont, but some will. My wife would be far more open to this idea than dropping pay tv and going net only, even if we can already get most of this content with other means
And its far easier for kids to learn as well.
The one stream will be the limiting factor more than anything IMO.
Edit: People will continue to use Hulu and Netflix whether they use this or not, as they compliment each other.
I know that I was talking about the menu screen shot in the right hand bottom corner of the Joey 4k flyer. I am talking about the UI not the physical product itself.
Doh!
I didn't realize there was a pic of the UI in the PDF.
If Dish was worried about OTA content they would still have the OTA tuner in the receiver, as it is now an addon, I imagine very few actually buy it as Dish has the main channel on the sats and those have guide info.
I wonder what the "Melbourne" remote is, mentioned in the Joey4K's spec under remote compatibility.
Right, but the other issue on hand will be the broadband caps. This may push service providers to actually enforce caps. That's really the big elephant in the room. In a world with no caps, I could see an OTT service working really well and everything delivered via IP, but that isnt the world we live in.
I wish AT&T would one day inform me what my actual usage was so a Cap would make the least bit of sense.
I agree. I have absolutely no idea what I use in a month, i just know that I have never had an issue.
Good stuff.
I think the 4k is nice but not that big of a deal with the limited video streams available. But, the ability to have 2 simultaneous HD PIP streams will get a lot of use (the sports fans should really like it).
I like the new simplified remote and will probably do some upgrading to get one.
The whole home streaming is the sleeper that may be the best of all the new features. I have a Sonos system controlled by smartphone and tablet apps that is similar. The ability to stream multiple audio streams, splitting out or grouping speakers playing the various streams in various locations is nothing short of spectacular. We find ourselves simultaneously streaming web music, local radio news, and our iTunes and PC music archives and regrouping speakers to each of our interests as we occupy different areas of the house. Never thought I would like and use it so much since I am not a big music fan.

Can "Perth," "Adelaide," "Canberra," and "Hobart" be far behind? I guess if they ever wanted another marsupial they could come out with a Possum to hook up to your Hopper and Joey.
