I actually am curious about that.... are they inserting their own slingtv ads or will it just be the same ads that are on the satellite service? (IE using the same feed for sling tv that they send to the satellite). Hope its not going to turn into the hulu issue where the same ad plays...

Do you really need all of those live streams though? Maybe I am different but most HGTV shows can be watched on demand through their website or hulu and same for disney shows. IMO news and sports are the big events that need to be watched live. I'd actually prefer to watch everything else on...

Yep... I think the above is correct. They will instead go to metered connections which isn't necessarily the worst idea as long as the quotas are good. If they make the quota too small there will be more public outrage and the fcc will reclassify them as utility services and open the whole...

Agreed... this is geared to the any cord cutter and not just the single person. As stated there are numerous ways people watch the on demand content w/o this service but what has always been desperately wanted by cord cutters is the ability to have live news and sports which this package aims...

Agreed but right now the bottom line is too high for most and are looking at why.... currently it is because of the tacked on fees and just as big of a deal we have no recourse to get rid of them. I actually think their programming costs are pretty fair but the receiver fees are outrageous and...

Plenty of people switched back when dish had the amc issues and no walking dead (I nearly did).... if anything sports is more important because its the only programming that you watch live for the most part. I'm a dish customer currently and I've had a bunch of people ask me what how I'm...

Hypothetically lets say directv doesn't get the channel because right now they still have not said anything. If you wait too long (esp in the sec's geographic footprint) chances are the dish installs will be overbooked and you won't be able to get it installed before the first game. That's why...

Is this still the case? I would be on the western arc myself and kind of want to get one of these for my tailgating setup this fall but won't if we can't do 2 tv's with it.

I am also a windows phone user.... the core experience is better than android/ios imo but they have severe lack of apps problem and this is one of those. Also would be nice if it also came to the windows 8 store as well (the website is a joke compared to the apps). Do still have an android...

Currently have a gen 1 hopper and 2 joeys.... would be interested in getting a price to upgrade to the newer hopper and swap one of the existing joeys for a super joey.

I would say its pretty much fact esp after the virtual joey price. I have a great experience (esp inside the home) running the current dish anywhere app on my tablets so there is no technical reason they could not release apps for the stb's or streaming sticks. It would be a great way to get...

I do not think it will be free even though it should be. The incentive to make it free or cheap would be to keep your customers happy and their costs from getting out of control esp when programming prices keep going up so they don't "cut the cord". Lets be real here charging for each...

Hopefully that is the case because everybody on here hates the idea of it costing as much as a hardware joey. Really hope it's $4 or they charge $10 for as many virtual joeys as you want. This price announcement is going to play a huge role whether or not I stay when my contract is up in august.

Exactly... the streaming services don't care about milking you for extra tv's because there is no extra cost associated with providing the service there. Just pure greed by the established providers because outside the initial equipment charge there is no recurring cost to them to deliver...

The funny thing is my friends with kids all use netflix more than cable with the kids.... namely because they don't care about watching the newest episodes so netflix's vast collection of older kids shows works out better. And what you are wanting to do is exactly what I am doing.... dropped...

Agreed.... Sports are the only thing keeping me with a tv subscription. Even still I use netflix more than watching livetv. The superhd quality is better, the whole season/series is available (even if they don't have the most current season for any show still on the air), etc. Its just a...

I only pay for the premiums every 6 months or so and only for a month to "catch up".... will again once got has aired. They really don't have more content than that to keep up. Netflix on the other hand I constantly subscribe to because they have a ton of stuff that I never fully clear out my...

This is very annoying to me.... probably the biggest annoyance with the hopper. Esp for sporting events where you record 3 or 4 hours and with the olympics coming up it will be annoying there as well. Really needs to be fixed in a software update.

Agreed... I have no doubt they chose the first game based on putting pressure on the cableco/sat providers but having espn choose after the first game will mean they can routinely put "good" games on the sec network (and very likely will each week). And lakebum431 makes a good point that in...

The way I understand it is CBS still gets the first pick but after that its all ESPN/SEC Network and they have already indicated that bigger games will be airing only on the SEC Network. For example the first game of the year next year between Texas A&M and South Carolina is the launch game for...

If you watch this stuff on netflix it will actually be better.... right now netflix has to wait for the 90 day window to end on before epix movies come to netflix. When the disney deal comes over I imagine they will come much quicker and also probably be superHd which will look better than...

Have to say the $7 price for vj is just stupidly insane.... its like they don't want people to use it at that price. I really thought this is what would save me from wanting to go back to cable when I saw it announced. As much as I hate to say it cable is looking better and better because...

Any word on if there will be any extra fees for the virtual joeys? To me this is a KILLER app if they are free. Especially when/if xbox/roku/appletv versions come.

Not that you would want to go this route but I think if you get 2 hoppers you get 2 sling tuners in the dish app.... would be more seamless having it all on the dish anywhere app vs going between dish anywhere and sling (not to mention dish anywhere is free). And you also get 6 tuners vs 3.

Would like to see a new box with 5+ tuners.... I know people point to the ability to have multiple hoppers and that is a solution but something that requires me to pay more and then doesn't even work as well is not "good enough". Also would like to see the ability for more viewing options for...
