I don’t see why they would, it works with nearly all the receivers.
I heard the VIP receivers are going to start disappearing starting next year unless Dish decides to extend it.
VIP receivers and 40.0 remotes are two completey different items....
There are no support costs on remotes, so no need to stop their functioning. Maybe future receivers will no longer work with them, but I suspect that won’t happen.
Yep, I actually use an old 1.5 remote occasionally to control my Wally, so I don't see support for old remotes ending any time soon, either.
One thing is for sure, none of us are gettin' out of here alive.
Heck, I still have a reel to reel, cassette, mini-disc recorder. Two VHS machines. Speakers from the early 70's that I blast nearly everyday. Nothing phases out for me, If I don't want them to.The OP seems to be awfully concerned with things being phased out. (VIPs, Remotes, Hopper UIs, etc.)
I just bought a new Samsung UHD Blu Ray Player with a tiny remote that takes a watch size battery. I have a Samsung HDTV and the old Blu Ray player was Samsung. I pointed the large remotes at the Blu Ray player and both worked perfectly. So, why would Dish do away with a remote?
Speak for yourself.One thing is for sure, none of us are gettin' out of here alive.
