DISH introduces Google Nest Hello to the Hopper platform
- First in a series of Google Nest-Hopper integrations to roll out in coming months
- Nest Hello Video doorbell sends notifications to Hopper and Wally-connected TVs
- Integration available to all Hopper and Wally customers today at no extra cost
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- DISH today announced that its Hopper and Wally receivers now support the Google Nest Hello Video doorbell. When the doorbell rings, Nest Hello sends on-screen notifications directly to the television.
DISH is the first pay-TV provider to integrate a Google Nest device into its ecosystem with the Device Access program. Today's Nest Hello announcement is the first in a series of Google Nest integrations coming to the Hopper platform.
"Google Nest on Hopper is about giving our customers added choice and control over their home environment — with the subtle on-screen alerts delivered by the Nest Hello, customers are better equipped to hit pause and take action right away," said Rob Sadler, DISH director of product management. "This is just the beginning of a powerful relationship with Google Nest and their vast portfolio of products."
After pairing their Google Nest account with their DISH Hopper or Wally receiver, customers will receive on-screen notifications, including an image, when their Nest Hello has been pressed.
In 2018, DISH introduced the ability for Google Assistant to control its Hopper receivers. It expanded that capability earlier this year, with the introduction of the Google Assistant-enabled DISH Voice Remote.
The Nest Hello feature is available to all broadband-connected Hopper and Wally receivers beginning today. Support for Joey (all clients) will begin rolling out in the following weeks.
Nest joins DISH's suite of smart-home control options, including the Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Josh.ai.

Finally got the update. Did the connection between Nest and Dish per rickaren instructions.
When someone rings the doorbell, a small window pops in the lower right corner of the TV screen with a still picture from the Nest. Response is good, about 2 seconds after the bell rings. It stays on the screen for about 15 seconds.
I'm disappointed that nothing shows on the screen when the Nest recognizes a person, but they don't ring the doorbell. I've still got to grab my phone to see what's happening.
p.s. Don't tell my wife that I have posted an unflattering picture of her on the web. It might be hazardous to my health.

INSTALLED GOOGLE NEST Video Doorbell (on Dish Hopper) with Wireless Ringer
First off the best way and safest install for the Nest Doorbell is to supply power by a plug-in power adapter. Forget about finding your present transformer or adding one or adding a door bell chime. I started with a Power Adapter for Nest Hello Video Doorbell 18V Output Power Supply Cable Charger Kit w/Outlet Plug-in by Sully.
It worked great, was easy to install, and was inexpensive. I later returned finding a better option. If you never plan to add a ringer for your video doorbell, this is for you.
However I started to think, with a plug-in power adapter surely you should be able to add a wireless ringer, too. But all searches said NO. After about two days I found what I was looking for!
OhmKat Video Doorbell Power Supply-Compatible with Nest Hello-No Existing Wiring Required-Transformer Adapter, Power Kit & Supply All In One
OhmKat Wireless Universal Video Doorbell Chime for use with Nest
Order the above power supply if you might want to add a chime in the future or both if you want a chime now. The OhmKat power supply has a cable that allows you to UPGRADE to the addition of THEIR doorbell chime.
Adding both is more expensive but maybe not if you attempt other options. One thing is sure it is safer.
How to Install the OhmKat Chime
Other Info.
You will need a Smartphone to set-up your new Nest Doorbell. You can not use your Computer (Windows 10). I attempted to do so. So far I have not had any luck with picture on TV when movement is detected at front door (as shown on phone) but does work when doorbell is pressed. All the above are available from Amazon except the Nest Doorbell. Since Amazon owns "Ring Doorbells" guess they won't sell Google ones. Ordered mine from DISH as a rewards for adding this App to the Hopper. Found the below LINK helpful. Good Luck!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It's dead, they just don't know it yet. They killed it by forcing DRM on it, and that TOTALLY botched implementing it.
There is absolutely NO compelling reason for anybody to switch to ATSC3.0. They only want it as a total and complete money grab.

WHAT ABOUT THE INTERNET PART OF IT. NO ONE WANTS A BOX CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET EITHER.

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.
