To add to the newest software update, Dish says they fixed the issue with having two Hopper Snap devices on one network.
Nuts! So, now I get to tell Google everything I'm doing with my TV.
My 40 is looking better and better all the time.

In Settings/Remote Control you can specify Text Search for the Voice button. That way you can have the back lit 54.0 remote that searches like the 40.0.
OK, but what does "Text Search" mean? I can't use my voice at all? How is that different than disabling all voice control?
AFAIK it doesn't go anywhere except probably to DISH of course. Text search even works with no internet connection.
Going to keep using mind control to direct the hand and manipulate the remote. 
THIS IS NOT CORRECT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE TWO HOPPER SNAP DEVICES ON ONE NETWORK PROBLEM.

The release on the tech portal states: As a reminder, new software will be released to all Hopper family receivers on 07/31/19, which will enable new functionality to DISH’s set top boxes. The primary updates allow the new 54.1 remotes to integrate with Google Voice assistant, as well as allowing multiple Hoppers to have a Hopper Snap on one account.
As Hipkat stated, the dish engineers that release these notes on tech portal. Not sure they'd gives us techs bad info.
I got my info directly from the software team.
I was asked to pass along that the Dual Hopper Snap support was not in the newest update.
I'm assuming that's the same people that put those notes out for thousands of techs to see. Might want to let them know.I got my info directly from the software team.

I use Google Chrome vs Microsoft's browser. I only use Alexa to play music. Have not found Alexa has any other functions that work properly. I use a Harmony remote for my TV system. None of the voice systems work properly, just half a**. I tried Alexa on Prime delivery notifications and get the notification 30-60 minutes after I have the package and opened it up.
Apparently different people or teams. I'm hearing the same thing as Scott and Partysox that's it's not been fixed. And that comes from people who definitely know.
I'm guessing you'll see a correction soon™.
Not trying to stir the pot too much, but are you guys saying that the tech portal news is coming from people that don't know what they're talking about??Apparently different people or teams.

Probably just a misunderstanding. I've seen this happen before when something doesn't get in a release that was maybe intended to be included.
